And people actually think there’s a chance they can be reformed or trained to be better. They can’t handle a single bit of criticism, even when it’s absolutely obvious what they should have done as it’s literally been the training they’ve given out for handling these situations for well over 10 years.

But yeah, we can…

I now have no doubt that something seriously fucked up happened — probably that the police killed more children than the shooter. This is Texas and the police don’t have an affirmative duty to defend or protect citizens not in their custody so their inaction is not actionable nor criminal. 

“Yawn, another (liberal) author for a video game website trying to take a hit at one of the most innovative men to ever live.”

Never takes long for a Musk bro to show up and post something cringy and hilarious.   

I have six figures of student loan debt (law school); my wife also has six figures of debt (med school.) Obviously, for me, more forgiveness is better, and 10k will barely the move the needle for me, and will be a laughable drop in the bucket for my wife.

When Philando Castile was shot, I started hearing-as a defense, “The cops just want to get home safely at night”, to which....I’m sorry, that’s not the job you signed up for.  You do have to risk your life, that’s part of your job.  I don’t mean to be cold-hearted, but I don’t know where or why we got the notion that…

It would take them about 1.5 seconds to shoot an unarmed black man in the back. But a kid with a gun? Better hold off for a couple of dozen reinforcements. Filthy cowards.

No, he became less.

ITT: A bunch of people (myself included) bitch about how we aren’t doing anything while simultaneously...

Welp, looks like Tx still has suuuuuuper late-term abortions covered.

This country has an appetite for self-destruction. Be it climate change, sensible gun legislation, abortion access, funding for childhood programs, or a social safety net, we just do not care. It’s weaved into our very culture of hyper-individualism and reverence for violence as a means of resolving problems. It’s…

The fact that she opens with “...one of three black men in Santa Barbara...” is a clear tell that she is, in fact, racist and not just against obnoxious people. Which would actually be quite ironic since she is the most obnoxious person there by a long shot!

Let me pull your bootlicking ass out of the greys for a tick...

These people’s worthwhile and fulfilling lives were cut short because we’re collectively too cowardly to fight the gun lobby and we’re collectively too cheap to pay for mental health care.

“Policing is a difficult, dangerous job”

It’s the white father of the boy (Brunson) who answered the door with a gun in his hand, not the black father (Nash). It feels like THAT should be the main story, though I suppose “Texas homeowner almost shoots himself in the foot while answering door” happens several times a week, while a 9-year old angrily whipping…

I would love, just once, when these abjectly stupid arguments are presented, for a journalist or judge or whoever to just take a moment of silence, take a deep breath, and ask the person, “Do you think I’m stupid?”

And it's not like anything is going to happen to her anyway. There are no consequences anymore. 

Wake up black Floridians. They continue to try and take your rights. Get out and vote these idiots out of your government. And then do it again every election.

If ‘manipulation’ is the precedent for ‘grooming’ then every woman I’ve ever met has groomed me.
