This is obviously the right verdict, but one instance of justice does not make the system just. It’s great that his fellow officers came out to testify against him, but doing the right thing once doesn’t mean the blue wall of silence has been destroyed. It is great that one sociopathic cop is off the force, but there…

This one time, I told Morissey that he was made of meat, and he didn’t stop crying for three whole days.

Well to quote a song from his first album.  Manchester, you have a lot to answer for!

It was a perfect set-up.

The disillusioned 15-year-old in me is giving you a star for that. Well done. 

Really? Because the more I ignore him, the closer he gets. I know I was just wasting my time.

I love the Smiths, but I’ve always known that Morrissey is a garbage person. As far as I’m concerned, he died on the way back to his home planet circa 1990.

Don’t do that. He’ll just get closer.

hateful tactics like showing the Morrissey character with his belly hanging out of his shirt...makes you wonder who the real hurtful, racist

I think the subtext is Morrissey could care less about being called racist, that’s old hat. BUT DON’T YOU DARE CALL HIM FAT! To be honest, the whole “parading around the stage with his shirt open” hasn’t been a good look on him since the late 90's.

Katsis concludes by stating that Hank Azaria’s apology for voicing the character of Apu “says it all,” that The Simpsons “are the only ones who have stopped creating, and have instead turned unapologetically hurtful and racist,”

“He began by lamenting The Simpsons’ fall from “creating great insight into the modern cultural experience” to a show that’s “since degenerated to trying to capitalize on cheap controversy and expounding on vicious rumors.””

oh for sure. Where he fucked up is he attacked a civilian and its on video. This fucker has probably been harassing black recruits for years and getting away with it under the cover of his job but embarrassing the Army publicly? He’s fucked. 

This man is a staff sgt.  He is in no way shape or form an officer.  

Are we sure this wasn’t Joe Walsh making sure his Maserati could still go 185?

Oh no... don’t tell me they’re remaking The Longest Yard *again*…

I say this all the time when toddlers shoot themselves or others.  It’s 100% negligence on someone’s part.  No bullet is fired blamelessly.

Imagine valuing Black lives so little that you don’t bother to discern the difference between an 8 ounce taser and a 3-pound gun. Especially because she would have had to turn the safety off on either one.

White America: Look, you can’t judge cops by one bad apple, no matter how many there are.
Also White America: LOOK THAT PERSON IS LOOTING THE PROTESTS ARE ALL RIOTS

There is no such fucking thing. You can have an intentional discharge, or a negligent discharge. There is no “accidental” discharge. That is basic firearms safety, page one stuff. Claiming accidental is flat out disingenuous bullshit. Neither Gannon nor this unnamed cop are fit to hold a firearm, nor fit to be a cop, …
