All that “economic anxiety” was fabricated by the GOP to begin with. The Obama recovery was chugging along quite nicely. Sure it wasn’t like the heady days of the 90's, but rather a more sustainable level of growth that could be maintained over the long term. But that wasn’t good enough for people who came of age…

Which in turn will make some form of universal health care more and more attractive to a growing segment of the population. So at least there's that. 

Expecting people to make the most rational and well thought out decisions while a cop is pointing a gun and screaming at them is silly.

Cops use the “I feared for my life” excuse for shooting people on a regular basis. Too bad they don’t see how that logic applies to the person they are threatening with a gun.

You don’t have to tell them anything. Do you really think the cashier even cares?

Surprise silly, I’m 44 and I grew up poor. I produced my first kid when I was in high school and went to work to pay child support instead of following my dream to play football in college (which know what I know now about TBI was probably for the best). I was shut out of many opportunities in life because of of…

Just because that’s the way it has been doesn’t mean that the only way it can be. Things won’t change unless people decide to change it. Some of us actually do want to work towards a more fair and equitable world. Crazy, I know.

Perhaps the reason that you have never met one is because when a person with a family finds out about the salary they give up on what might have been their dream to work in government and do something that they think might have made an actual difference.

You don’t see how making these jobs feasible for people who don’t have wealthy parents to subsidize their living expenses would make Congress function any better. Right now it’s an echo chamber of mostly wealthy people surrounded by staffers who also mostly come from wealthy families. I can easily see how allowing…

Seems like there might be a loophole. While the University isn’t allowed to take down a Confederate monument, it could be argued there is nothing in the law that requires the university to replace a monument that was taken down by someone else. Even if it was unauthorized.

I mean, budgets are tight and replacing a…

Curious as to why the Registrar was there if this is a private dorm and not part of the school.

I don’t think Acela passes through queens. It uses the North-East Corridor which are the most congested rails in the nation.

TThey didn’t know that when they began the chase.

I know a cop that tried to be a shining light of integrity in a town that is known to have racist cops (Clark, NJ). They forced him out.

No different than those sanctimonious assholes who claim they saw someone with an EBT card buying steak and lobster.

“It works"

It’s a stat without context since it doesn’t speak to the discussion at hand nor do you justify it’s inclusion here.

So based on your comments, it appears that you do not believe in the legal concept of, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Are you sure you should be a cop? Do you already subscribe to the…

My only concern at this point regarding you is that I want you to never let a cop off because he is “on the job”.

Also, please don’t be so afraid of black people that you shoot an unarmed person because you “fear for your life”.

Funny how the poverty rate in black communities is also much higher than other groups. It is…

Yeah, those things will be a small part of your job, but mostly your job will be collecting revenue for the state.

In any case, statistics show that cops have much higher rates of domestic abuse compared to the rest of the population and yet they are rarely arrested or convicted. So I hope you apply the same standard…

At least you know your primary reason for being will be to write tickets.

I’m explaining the logic behind when it is acceptable to use lethal force through the use of a simplified analogous scenario. Seriously, I hope you’re not a cop.

Now, the moment the ice pick comes out, lethal force is now warranted again. Since I’m already attempting to apprehend him, my backup units and I already have…
