What I’m wondering is if police officers are trained in verbal de-escalation techniques. Are there any guidelines for lower level interventions that should be used before they move to physical restraint? What investigation takes place when mace is used, or an injury happens?

This story is too surreal and too funny to be offensive. And here’s the thing. Yeah, there are black people who are as light as this lady, and who have similarly textured hair. But still, this woman doesn’t really look black. And I’ve known black people who pass for white, and who fool most people. This includes…
Stop.
I’m a Black man from the Commnwealth of Dominica and the “sixth sense” bullshit you are spurting out of your mouth is only a one-upper because you know that no one is going to call you out on it due to this site’s bias in opinion.
Opinions like yours about what a Black person should look like is what keeps…
I wonder if we can ever look at race the same way we look at gender. Caitlin Jenner lived the majority of her life as a man, and if anyone had asked her a decade ago, “are you a woman?” she probably would have been uncomfortable. And, had she answered “yes,” folks would have been ALL OVER that shit.
I’m black. In the photos above, she looks like black people I’ve known, but I better shut up before my blackness starts getting questioned...
What do you base this on? What exact features stand out to you as non-black?
Morons. I cut through a J Crew to reach a Uniqlo across the street from my office and the clothing I see in the store is just atrocious. Incredibly thin fabrics, bizarre patterns and nothing you could feasible wear to work. I picked up cute red plaid scarf during the winter and nearly threw it away like a snake when I…
People like you are ruining conference comedy for our most romantic and confidently nose-haired Nobelists! And Seinfeld is on his way to your house in his third favorite Porsche to tell you all about it.
jfc, his nose hair is sticking an inch outside his nostril. Dude, no ladies in the lab were falling in love with you and they were crying because they were scared of your goblin teeth.
The classic, “I’m sorry YOU suck” apology. Timeless.
Oh, I guess his early experiments with urchins and clams weren’t the only invertebrates in the lab.
With the prize money you think he would have done something about those teeth.
Medically speaking, the fact that the premature infant (not technically a fetus) was alive for a few minutes after birth is unsurprising and shouldn’t make this more criminal than any other late term abortion. At 5.5 months, the heart is well-developed; the lungs, not so much. This delivery would only have been viable…
Only on the US would someone think to ask this question. Every other civilized country pays for their citizens’ care no matter where they are.
I want to preface my response by saying that I absolutely am strongly in favor of gay rights and think that under anti-discrimination laws, a baker should have to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple just as for any other couple. But this wasn’t a wedding cake, it was a cake with a specific message on it saying…
Nuance is good. I think the fight for human rights and equality on all axes shouldn’t be compromised, but I also think it’s really important to acknowledge that even with that basic value there’s more than one way of approaching policy as well as specific issues.
....what? Morning sex is the best for so many reasons!! First thing after I wake up is literally the only time my brain isn’t whizzing in a zillion different directions, so I’m much more relaxed and into getting sexy. I’m also not exhausted/exasperated from dealing with bullshit all day. It’s a good reason to stay in…
OH MY GOD, this is the epitome of Husband and me. He wakes up at 5:30am and is all like, POKE POKE POKE, LET’S DO IT. And I’m all like, wtf is your problem, asshole, I’m sleeping. You poke me again and I will rip that fucking finger right off your hand and crazy murder you with it. And then he’s all like, Geez, why so…
