Lotta big brained geniuses saying “buuuhhhh yesterday you hated billionaires and now you want a celebrity, hypocrite much” as though Cuomo isn’t a Top 5 most odious Democratic incumbent. That distinction, categorically, makes it highly unlikely that Nixon would do worse. Which, therefore, makes her worth supporting.

Al…

Oh look, it’s “I’m just asking questions” guy, straight from the Politico comments. Hope you didn’t hurt yourself getting over here so quickly.

My good saucy bitch, what the fuck are you babbling about?

C’mon dude! No you don’t. No one likes the East Coast. When you come out here though, bring many large bags of money for your reasonable accomodations.

What point are you actually trying to make?

But will this resonate with the White Working Class (PBUT) or not, that is what truly matters.

For a dullard, yes, I imagine so

No mention of condiments (yet) but I’m keeping my out for it now! But will this resonate with the White Working Class (PBUT) or not, that is what truly matters. I won’t know this until we hear from a central Pennsylvania man who disowned his daughter, for the sin of race-mixing.

That makes little sense. The argument is that many of the shootings are not justified regardless of the ‘official account’ and the law needs to be changed to better align to the standards we expect.

Billionaires, not “rich people”.

Hell yeah it is when they have markedly better policy positions than the incumbent.

I believe at this point she’s actually spent more of her life working as an activist than an actor.

That’s part of it, but not the only part. The legal culture is so tied in with policing culture they struggle to act unbiased, particularly at a more local level where their relationships are often close. The law defines the use of force as “reasonable” but read enough cases and you’ll see how desperately lawyers and…

Regarding your comment about the courts: the reason they’ve sided so often with the police is because the laws are written heavily in their favor, effectively legalizing their behavior. Changing the law itself like this is a big step forward. The next step will be actually enforcing it....

She’s got a chance, maybe even a better than even odds kind of chance, but saying

“Hey, we all simultaneously yelled at the perp to freeze, and raise his hands, and get on the ground. Yelling (non-lethally) didn’t help. Then we shot him. What more could we do?”

If a cop could get full pay for a do-nothing job and all he had to do was shoot someone, every single cop would shoot someone on the first day.

^This.

Bingo. If the legislature were serious about this they would make an enormous mandatory minimum payout that comes out of the police pension fund.

Nah, all we have to do is make any unlawful death payouts come out of the police pension fund instead of the general fund. Cops will immediately start policing their own if their money was on the line.
