I have a real problem with your last couple of sentences, and the idea that you're "expected to be cooperative with police." Fuck that noise. You do not always have to be cooperative with police. If a police officer shows up at your door and asks to look around, don't cooperate. Demand they show you a warrant. If

I agree she was uncooperative and argumentative and physically resistive. But I don't think the police reacted appropriately and as they are the ones who are supposed to maintain order and diffuse situations from escalating, I think most of the blame belongs squarely on the police officer in question.

When people just hand over their ID when they don't need to, or allows searches because they're "not hiding anything", they're enabling the abuse of authority and giving away everyone's rights as well.

So not being super duper nice means you deserve to get your ass beat? This is why we now live in a near police state.

Personally, I would have given my ID when I was asked. BUT - I am not a woman of color, I am white and I am aware of my privelege, so I will not judge how she felt she needed to handle the situation. I wish other people - even here - would look at their own privelege before jumping all over her choices.

Jesus, looks like you're right. You have got to be fucking kidding me.

At the 2:40 mark, it appears a few more folks are jaywalking.

Not a bad date, not bad at all.

Ha! My first date with my hubby was also a Spike Lee movie, but it was a different, earlier new movie everyone was talking about: She's Gotta Have It. So, thanks Mr. Lee - almost 30 years later, that date is still working out pretty well.

I had to scroll down WAY TOO FAR to find someone who wants to eat this.

On the other hand, PMS does happen. I'm looking twice, I'll admit it.

Same. I don't get the hate. I know he's a douche but I would eat the fuck out of this.

Give me a spoon and a few hours.

OK I haven't read through all this yet because I had to stop and mention how much I cracked up at "I have no idea. I don't know how long you're supposed to cook chicken at a million degrees."

I'm not going to give them any special props for supporting Tamron wearing her hair the way it grows out of her head.

I like that my partner gets more turned on by nearly innocuous, everyday things instead of some of the stuff we've seen online. It feels very honest and sweet to me.

The problem that I have with this is that I feel that drinking and driving has gotten demonized to the point of irrationality. As soon as someone hears that a person involved in a traffic collision was drinking, that person is considered 100% responsible and no further information is necessary, wanted, or relevant.

Huh boy. Yes, and we all should remember every character's name in Moby Dick, Pride and Prejudice, War and Peace, TLOTR, ShoGun, The Iliad, the bible...
I saw the movie, loved it. Read the book, loved it. But it was over 20 years ago, and pardon me if I can't recall every character of every book I have ever read.

Voila:

They are guilty of making the ugliest fucking thing ever worn on the human foot.
