Because US Law Enforcement is ‘deathly allergic’ to transparency and accountability...but especially consequences and punishment for its own. It’s almost as if the system is broken and far too many officers shouldn’t have a badge, a gun, and the ‘court protected’ permission to attack the public with impunity.

Yet another bulletpoint on the endless list showing that Britain has the right idea about basic law enforcement officers — they’re not armed by default. Armed response teams have to be called for specifically in response to situations that actually require it. Otherwise? They’re not armed. Same should be true in the…

They didn’t. They just saw an opportunity to be their true murderous, asshole selves.

Well, I mean, if NOBODY can vote, that’s pretty secure. It’s also worthless, but it’s secure.

A friend routinely watches ‘dead people’ ‘documentaries that involve police investigations of murders and what not, and it never ceases to amaze me how many times the ‘police’ — in an effort to wrap cases up in nice, neat bows — force the facts the fit their determination of the crime (often made within the first…

Slavery — the forceful subjugation of one person to the demands of another or others.

“Bootstraps for thee, golden parachutes for me.” -- Republican politicians and super pacs.

Republicans -- the party of facing eating leopards. Republican voters -- the party of people who like other people getting their faces eaten, but not themselves. Together, they’re pure evil.

Now if only he’d done humanity a service and dropped dead 20+ years ago. And granted, I don’t believe in hell, but for a man as twisted and evil as Rush, I’d sure try. Because that’s the only kind of afterlife he deserves. And even, it’s *BETTER* than he deserves — an eternity of unspeakable torment and misery isn’t…

Not just “America.” But Florida. That’s doubling down on the stupid racist shithole, winning a trophy for it, and shoving it up your sphincter in celebration.

The world needs more Gina Torres. She only gets her proper respect in the small(ish) circle of fandom, and that’s hardly what a woman of her skill deserves.

Exactly. You can’t HAVE a record of bad/criminal behavior if you never RECORD those behaviors when they happen. How hard is that to understand? Because I guaran-fucking-tee you that this is NOT the first time she’s pulled this shit, and it’s doubtful it’ll be the last time either.

That opportunity came and went when they refused to impeach him THE FIRST TIME. That was their wake up call. They refused to answer. That was the moment the republican party cemented their lips to Trump’s asshole, yelling, “Yes, please! More!”

Here’s the thing: if we were to use the appropriate legal standards for determination, 1/2 of the Republican Senators would not be allowed to vote on the matter — they were accomplices to his actions and antics, and just like family and friends not being allowed as jury members, they should not have been given a vote.

Remove the judge from office and try him as an accomplice after the fact. Let’s start putting these racist, criminal-apologist shitstains where they belong -- in prison.

Somehow I doubt there’s a particularly significant overlap between what you find funny and what I find funny....

Washington Post Claims Financial Problems Could Have Helped Fuel Capitol Insurgents

“I was just following orders” doesn’t work as a legal defense for criminal acts either....

The problem with Police is that they’re like the metaphorical hammer — when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
