That is why there is the saying amongst racist cops that “it is better to be judged by twelve than carried out by six” because they know that it is almost a certainty that they will not be held responsible for killing an innocent person. 

So, if the cops arrest you, they have to prove you did something wrong. But if they kill you, you have to prove you didn’t do anything wrong. While being dead.

The memo cites Chauvin’s lack of previous criminal history

The valedictorian revealed to D Magazine that school officials had suggested withholding her diploma, but the threats never materialized.

They could’ve spent that money on some Purell or maybe some face masks for inmates, but I guess they thought being inhumane assholes was a better use of their money.

Only $35000 for violating the rights of two minors and an illegal (unconstitutional) search? That family must have hired a bargain basement lawyer. Hell, they had a case where it could be argued that the police sexually assaulted minors. How aren’t there two extra zeros on that settlement?

Protip: If your rights have…

This is really important. The pandemic scared billions of people, and I fully understand folks wanting someone to point a finger at. Problem solved! However, like you say, the possibility that there is nothing to point at is real, and maybe even scarier.

Because people are idiots and it’s a lot easier to blame a fictional scapegoat than to deal with mind shattering reality that we control nothing and will face terrible pandemics in the future.  

The whole problem with the whole “lab created” theory is that if it was created and being studied by a lab, then got loose, they probably would have known exactly what it was from the start. Their initial response, which was rife with bumbling and denial is a lot more in line with what a response to an unknown virus…

The fact she has to FIGHT to keep a child murderer from getting his job back is so beyond the pale of why we need a whole new structure of policing in this country..is just.. I really don’t have any words. One thing crackas and the racist political system always use to justify their killing sprees is “the law said or…

And the other half is in the pocket of shadowy billionaires like the Kochs.

Beginning? Half of the United States Senate is in the pocket of rich left coasters.

Agreed you can’t throw SpaceX in with the others, they’ve proven that they can reliably and cheaply get satellites (and now humans) into space unlike Blue Origin which has done very little over the years. 

I was with you until: “It’s almost like farming out space exploration to private companies isn’t a great idea!”

Let’s see:

Lol, it’s a damned remaster... Who the hell cares what modders do with it as the game has been out for 20 years. Blizzard has really gone downhill. Maybe they should focus on Diablo 4 not being a dumpster fire instead of worrying about what modders are doing to an alpha build demo of a remastered 20 year old game.

They have a responsibility to their shareholders that includes the option to have their biggest fans fined, jailed, and bankrupted when required. 

Remember kids, video game developers are not about your fun...they are about your wallet.

They really do think teaching historical facts and social/economic statistics is the “single most divisive threat.” Meanwhile their GOP is trying to discredit our entire system of democracy so they can attain one-party-rule. Which ironically is the system of every Marxist country.

Reality overtook parody at some point in the aughts.
