No-one is disputing the unwarranted violence of this asshat; the problem is that WE are always taken into custody, or assaulted or shot by police SWIFTLY. But when the same UNNECESSARY violence is perpetrated against us, we’re lucky if charges—robust, appropriate charges—are even filed. God forbid someone is…

I kinda get what you’re trying to say but... this smells fine, it’s what’s supposed to happen, it’s the other shit you mention that stinks.

Don’t whatabout on this one.  It’s not a good look.  

Good. Also, let this be a reminder to some Black and Brown folks out here - the MAGA movement does not include you.

Kinda missed the point. Didn’t condone the action, pointed out the swiftness that this woman was charged with compared to white people doing the same thing and often waiting weeks and months to be charged or often nothing being done. She deserves to be punished as do the white people that have done the same and…

Pure, ‘both sides’ bullshit. It is not up to the oppressed to dismantle racism. It never has been, it never will be.

I get so confused when some people are like “I can’t believe you have the same food every year.”

depends on where your people are from. if your relatives are from the south, the food will be incredible but the company will be intolerable. my granny was from mississippi, which makes my dad’s thanksgivings better as leftovers if you don’t want to hear about kneeling for the anthem and other old white man gripes.

That’s what I can’t get over. His smile still has that innocent joy that kids rarely still even have at 14.

Naw.

Yes, but what would be the force if you fired a racist physics teachers through a stationary cannon weighing 1500kg?

It’s still an access to guns issue. No to mention he cracked a child’s skull and managed to get some sort of mental health plea which seems... odd.

Wasn’t a policy recently rescinded to possibly allow people with mental issues to acquire guns? I believe the excuse was the policy included categories that people felt weren’t mental illness.

The fact that drumpf cut-out the provision that mentally ill people should not be able to purchase weapons when he took office, and now makes a statement that “it’s a mental health problem, not guns”...speaks to his stupidity and ignorance for changing the law.

In this instance, “investigate” is whitespeak for. “Stop complaining about it, we’ll pull him into the back until you forget about it, then resume business as usual.”

well of course its a gym teacher.... to quote school of rock... those who cant do.. teach... those who cant teach... teach gym.

Imagine if a Black student said to a white teacher “That’s how people like you get shot. Somebody’s gonna to put a bullet right through your head. OK? And it might be me the one who does it.” What do you think would happen?

People like you. (Implied: not like me.) The perennial dog-whistle of racism.

Wow, I am jealous of the smartphones kids have now.

Both the police and the school are investigating the incident. We will be filing charges against Mr. Carr and he has been relieved of his duties at the school, effective immediately.
