I came here to say the same thing. The police and the caller are both criminally liable. If a man answers the door peacefully and is then exexuted, that is terrible police recruiting / training / practice. We now know from the Daniel Shaver case that police are eager to open fire, and treat civilian lives as…

All true. I grew up in a law enforcement family.

There are rules, regulations, and training programs that pertain to trigger discipline.

They fail more often than they should.

That said, if the dipshit who made the call hadn’t been butthurt over a fucking game, this particular instance of awfulness wouldn’t have…

The SWAT officer who pulled the trigger is to blame. The person who called the fake incident into the police is to blame. The person who passed along the victim’s address is to blame.

Good, maybe you should go throw the old ball around instead of engaging in sub par derivative trolling.

Oh man...you’re so boring and unoriginal. How do you handle your blandness?

Case in point: I’m in the office break room decompressing while CNN drones on in the background. A co-worker comes in and we talk a bit about the hurricane and whatnot - we both have family in the Houston area. CNN cuts to Trump telling the Gov. of TX something to the effect of “After this is all said and done, we…

Basically, if I had to pick a megachurch pastor to be the end all be all “Opiate of the masses” while getting rich off of said masses, given the options, he wouldn’t be the worst one to choose.

Unsolicited advice from someone who survived a very necessary estrangement from her own mother: beware of anyone who attempts to convince you that you should be able to look past this. I wish someone had told me 20 years ago that “blood is not thicker than safety.” Thank you and good luck.

I’m surprised no one’s called out the complete bullshit of responding to racism with misogyny. If only that woman would be harassed into knowing her place, shed stop being racist!

Further to your point, isn’t movie production a slow process? Like, is 18 months every other film? I’d say that’s pretty good - but I agree, her delivery was awkward.

I’m not gonna demonize her for this, as odd as it came out. Her heart is in the right place. She seems like a good person who is willing to evolve. And with the lack of female directors getting as easy funding as men, every 18 months sounds pretty good, especially with the clout and star power she holds in…

Because he was grooming her to be his wife the whole time and part of being Elvis’s wife was PURITY. I mean, they did do everything but sex, but for real, Elvis picked her young so he could bring her up the way he wanted to. It was fucking disgusting.

I don’t know how you can so consistently be wrong and offensive. I seriously can’t believe you thought that this was a good idea to post on. It’s a talent, really.

Im a researcher, about to begin a phd in research and I can tell you, your methods are flawed. There is a reason we frown upon snowball sampling, your sample size is tiny, and we never use the word causation or imply causation in research, and we ESPECIALLY do not touch the concept of causation in non-experimental…

Relax! Your theory is just homophobia. You obviously don’t need any research to support that, just your shitty anecdotally based “theories” of human sexuality.

Then why aren’t a huge percentage of women, who are more likely to be sexually abused as children than men, gay as adults?

It undermines your conclusions considerably to have such a tainted sample.

How many straight men who were raped as children did you interview?

I always figured that the rapists chose their victims because they could sense they were gay, different, or vulnerable in some other way.

He wants an exact quote with subtly different wording so he can say “HA! YOU GOT IT WRONG!” Ignore the troll.
