I mean, the best the cops can muster here is that they knocked repeatedly and there was no answer, so they “had to” burst through the door. In other words, the cops admit they broke into the home. Now, they will say “Well, we knocked,” and maybe they did (awfully convenient that they weren’t wearing body cameras) and…

Ok, I’m shocked they didn’t charge Walker with felony murder because the police shot and killed Taylor. That would be standard operating procedure for the Police. Charge him with the felonies of first degree assault and attempted murder of a police officer as well as felony murder for the murder of Taylor that…

Police love to peddle the myth that they’re in some daily life-or-death struggle to keep society safe from the forces of evil, but their actual on-the-job mortality rate is lower than the overall national average. Cop isn’t even in the top ten dangerous jobs.

thats exactly it. these police have set up the system to that they can pretend to be soldiers and pretend they are in call of duty but without any of the actual risks of being a deployed soldier. They want (and have given themselves) immunity over the law because they can claim they were in a life and death situation,…

And conveniently, these cops were not wearing body cams because for some particular reason (thinking emoji) this unit does not. 

Part of my studies were in Classical Greek and Greek mythology. I’d say I’m pretty passionate about accuracy and authenticity in movies (most of my friends don’t really care)... but a Disney movie... including Hercules isn’t trying to portray historic accuracy in the least. It’s backdrop more than anything else. Mulan,…

...as Black would seem to have been inspired by the popularity of Afrocentrism at the time the movie was made.

They were inspired by 2 things: The Greek Chorus and Motown. I always thought they made them black as combining the chorus with Motown style singing was an easy way to update the concept of the chorus that would work with modern songwriting.

The Greeks had 12 gods

Nope. Thanatos was a minor figure in Greek mythology. Kind of like a personification of death, think more..grim reaper.  The god of the underworld was definitely Hades. 

I’d like to see them not butcher the mythology first.

...maybe just a thought here ..maybe having Greek people in a movie based on Greek mythology mightn’t be a bad idea...possibly ,regardless of skin colour?

I think the emotional support part is what most presidents have dogs for. 

Can we stop with the crappy “joking” assertion that if a somewhat attractive woman has a job above minimum wage she banged her way there? I’m super liberal and hate this administration but as a non-ugly/smart woman I’ve been accused of this myself too many times in my life when I busted my ass and earned what I have.…

Also like an eight year old boy...he often uses it incorrectly.

Trump deleted his tweets about the “Noble” prize, despite defending them as “sarcasm.”

If I may respectfully disagree, I think both 2016 and 2020 show in their own way that our political elite just doesn’t think well, if at all, in probabilistic terms. In essence, 2016 is a case study of how our political media looked at the unappealing specter of a Donald Trump presidency, read statistical analyses…

Honestly, I’m guessing that her main job is to just be a soothing presence. Yep, she’s pretty, but she appears to have some skill at easing his stress by doing little things here and there and being available to help him in non-controversial ways. I mean, he doesn’t have many friends (or any?) and if having an…

Yeah, his base is going to vote for him no matter what because (1) they live Trump and (2) they would vote for a pile of rusty tin cans if it had that (R) after its name on the ballot.

In related news, Donald Trump and his campaign are beginning to think that killing people is perhaps not a very good reelection strategy.
