There used to be a time when it was widely understood and accepted that being a police officer meant carrying personal safety risks, like other dangerous jobs. Now, however, we seem to have turned this tide that says any and all risk to an officer is unacceptable. Hence, the “shoot first” strategy that persists and…

This appears to be the law enforcement communities response to “those people” wanting more oversight and justice when officer executes unarmed people. This will also make it much more likely that someone would not complain about police abuses if the officer then turns around and sues them for being the victim.

I can’t WAIT to see the counterclaim from the family. That ought to be pretty satisfying . . .

Over Christmas, my parents spent a good 20 minutes volunteering their ideas about why BLM is an illegitimate civil rights movement. My mom brings up Trayvon Martin. I was slack jawed. “He was an unarmed child.”

I am going with tongue (strong and agile with great taste) but am a little afraid it really should be appendix (probably has a purpose but no one quite knows what and poised to cause havoc at a moments notice!)

I am a spine.

Hand. The most useful body part, even for people who can’t walk! Opposable thumbs are a freaking MIRACLE.

Eyes. As long as they weren’t Buscemi style eyes.

I a spleen, for sure.

I’m sure she does a fine job, but I think if they had wanted a CHANCE at getting some noms next award season then that role should have been played by Jennifer Lawrence.

This is really sweet and positive and I love it for that. At the same time, I kinda wonder if maybe it’s 4:20 where you are?

This National Hug Day business is bullshit. DON’T FUCKING TOUCH ME, YOU DISEASED SHITFUCKS.

Considering this is the same state that produced Kim Davis, they probably believe it would violate their rights if they were told to stop taking black lives.

It’s a long story as to why, but there are people — educated, well-to-do people whom you’d think would know better — to whom I have to explain this day in and day out.

I’ve said it before but every time I see him interact with his daughters, every little in joke, cuddle, embarrassing Dad-ism, long suffering daughter eye roll, every time the pride and love he feels shines from his eyes and radiates from his grin I miss my father so much it’s like a gut punch. Lucky girls, lucky…

I agree. One of the things that I love about where I live is that people are financially supported through a broad welfare system here, which is sadly being dismantled by the current government.

Word. This article rubbed me the wrong way. Where am I supposed to get this magical “fuck off fund” when my income just barely covers rent, gas and bills for the month. This is already after I’m neglecting to pay my credit card and student loans. I think the Fuck Off Funds is really only attainable by women with…

When pressed further, Cuyahoga County admitted that it wasn’t so much a “grand jury” as it was a “lunchtime bowling club.”
