I think you are overlooking a series of factors that have broken the healthcare system - including parasitic relationships that have evolved like insurance companies that now routinely make treatment decisions based not on the patient’s doctor’s advice, but on the basis of procedures and policies that are designed to…

So >100 years ago then?

Comments like this make me want to scream.

Are corporations (e.g Stellantis) good?

headline: corrupt union!
story: corrupt management.

wtf even is this.

So it was corruption on both sides? Yikes.

Of course you’re also assuming that police didn’t lie on ANY important details, right?
Cops lie on reports, on live TV press conferences, even when the shooting is justified...and that leads to lying when it’s not.
If the family believes they have enough evidence to show a lie, let them speak. 

the officers believed that Peterson had threatened violence towards the police on his social media with the use of emojis

the law doesn’t require police to wait for someone to fire at them before they can act in self- defense.

That whole one day suspension...wow...what was that supposed to do? “I took my day off and now I am both reformed and contrite”.

Good.

Isn’t this the same department that had coins for assaulting protesters, specifically shooting one in the nuts? 

I wonder how the department would classify the Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, or 3%ers, aside from co-workers.

So, cops investigating themselves and then exonerating themselves. Sounds perfectly reasonable...

The thing is, as it always is, that it’s an issue of discretion. When it comes to suspects who are white, then the officer’s discretion is often to use the least amount of violence. When it comes to suspects who are Black, the officer’s discretion is almost always to apply the maximum amount of violence.

This scenario is akin to Reconstruction after the Civil War when they murdered, beat and ran duly elected Black politicians out of State legislatures as if it was ok. The same types of rabid, foaming at the mouth knuckle draggers that attempted the 1/6 coup are supporting this madness, some even calling for these…

Hmm, forcing people to work against their will and using law enforcement to drag them back to the planta...er...statehouse. Reminds me of something I can’t quite put my finger on.

Those GOP cries about “election security” and “voter fraud” will be rolling in aaaaaaany minute now, I’m sure.  

Since when has the structure of the legal system not been set up to screw over black people?

Because the rich are above the law, and this country has an unyielding adoration of naked white supremacy. The fact that the White Supremacist Party - erm, I mean, the Republican Party - has enough presence in every level of government forces us to treat their position as equivalent and valid (even though it isn’t by…
