Well, technically, you have to be in the batter’s box to hit, not in the field.

Because they are not paid to hit. They are paid to pitch.

“the cops are abdicating their responsibility”

And when the judge kicks the case, there will be another riot. Followed by a Federal civil rights

I’m not going to pretend to be totally wired into this situation at large, but if I was working overtime and they were shorting me on OT and especially non-OT hours for a month, you can bet I wouldn’t be showing up on time... especially if my job involves me putting my life on the line as a matter of course.

Hard to be politically correct and courteous when you can die any day of the week.

Yeah instead we just pay to keep those people in prison, in many cases more per year than what a police officer makes. So in that respect, we’re essentially providing funds to both sides.

On the other hand, how’s that working out for the black community in Baltimore? You can’t have it both ways.

It is a stunning example of feminism devouring itself.

Read this earlier, and just, wow.

I mean, I was an idiot and a bad person in college too. But I never felt like I had the ability to try to ruin somebody’s life because... well, not because they didn’t agree with me, exactly, but because they agreed with me, but not on every exact thing.

Title IX is one of the greatest…

“symbolically incoherent” is a phrase that a lot of college students need to have in their head when they plan their activism, just saying.

What bums me out most about this is that the question of consent laws, “spheres of victimhood” and the worry about infantilization is SUCH an important and interesting one (and…

Oh FFS....

Why all the outrage from Gawker peanut gallery now? I don’t see any articles referencing the basically nonstop black crime that Bodymore is famous for

Once again proving that college students have WAY too much time on their hands.

So, what is a kinder gentler cop? This is a serious question. I’m a brown guy who looks like a middle eastern/indian with one of the worlds most common names(esp for felons in the Texas area) and never have had a problem with cops being tough or rough or mean.

Are you kidding? Illinois vs Wardlow. The cops who arrested Gray did that exactly and now they are in jail.

No, you ignorant FOP fuckstick, they are not going to jail for following Illinois v. Wardlow (reasonable suspicion met when guy runs away from cops in a known drug area), they go to jail when they beat the fuck out of someone or when they cause a guy to end up with a severed spinal cord.

People want a laissez-faire police dept, here it is... Criminals know they have the police by the balls now and are going to take advantage of it. Hard to be politically correct and courteous when you can die any day of the week. But people dont get it. 35 violent deaths in a month. You cannot put a leash on a police…

Nobody wins in all this. The cops get shit on just for being cops, and the citizens don’t get protection from the legitimate threats to life and property.
