“Saveljevs was also sentenced to two to four years after pleading guilty to second-degree attempted assault for attacking an off-duty police officer, CNN notes. The officer, who was walking his dog, suffered a broken cheekbone after Saveljevs struck him with an object. Saveljevs will serve both sentences concurrently.”

California considers strict ‘George Floyd’ law to punish police who fail to intervene against excessive force

“On July 28, La Mesa police chief Walt Vasquez said he had finished reviewing an investigation into Johnson’s arrest but did not provide any insight into his conclusions, citing due process.”

Maybe...just maybe, things are stating to change. That’s not a reason to relax nor celebrate.

“Edit to add: I am not endorsing kicking possums. They are not good looking, but they eat ticks.”

“Completely divorced from reality. Delusional doesn’t even cover it.”

My impression is that Kayne isn’t stupid, he’s ill.
Trump is stupid and ill.

Biden can read and write. Trump could never have written that list.

Holding the people we arm, we train, we pay to higher standards than any fool off the street seems like a no-brainer to me too.

A difference of degree, not a difference in kind...unless you’re Oscar Grant. Then it’s not even a difference in degree.

Looky here, America
What you done done —
Let things drift
Until the riots come.

We all kind-of-know what happened, but when you read a well-researched history of how mistreated Black citizens were because they served their country, you realize how much worse it really was.

When the first Black men returning from war were beaten while wearing an American uniform, it was obvious your rights weren’t going to be handed to you by white people like Mike Ditka.

Some dicks really need to take a knee.

Try actually showing up at a BLM protest. Make sure you stay out of the front rank, because it’s not your protest. You’re there to support the people under attack...except when the police approach. That’s when you move up and in front of the Black protesters to protect them with your body and your privilege.

I’ve worked fast food for three chains, as a dishwasher in a Chinese restaurant, as a day laborer and as an assembly line worker...you don’t need to explain “working class” to me.

Helping kill people with a clear conscience is nothing to brag about.

So since we learn math in seventh grade we never need to learn math again? We learn U.S. History in fifth and eighth grade so we’re all done with it?
