I’m sure most people have done at least one stupid thing in their lives that could have ended up going horribly wrong. Maybe it was running a stop sign while you were fumbling for the french fries you dropped in your lap. We don’t remember those events because we weren’t unlucky at the same time.

Update:

Yep, like this:

Thing is, they’re not criminals until after the trial. Cops and their apologists forget this important detail.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Look a Denmark, Norway, Sweden. We can care about each other too.

Yeah, but a Doctor or lawyer or business owner shouldn’t be the “bottom rung” by any sane meaning of the term.

It isn’t about what they deserve. We deserve a racist-free military and racist-free police departments.

“Because we deal with the bottom rung of society does not give us an excuse to do whatever we want, and that’s what we’re doing and we’re not being held accountable.”

“There are worse places to get adhesives and I’m sure if you ask enough ER and urgent care nurses, you’ll hear about them! :-D”

Yep. I laughed, but I’m done.  I’d help her if I could.

A former student of mine has shaved her head a could of times. She’s beautiful with or without hair. A brown bald head doesn’t look anything like a bald pasty white head.

Yes, except our military is made up of people, social creatures with culture and history and personal preferences. If allowing women and Black men a hair style that fits their culture, history and preference allows us to attract and retain higher caliber soldiers and sailors, I’ll take that deal.

Alexander the Great began the army grooming obsesion. Apparently he thought beards and long hair gave an opponent something to hang on to in close combat. I gotta agree. Swinging swords in a crowd wearing a handle on your head sounds like a distinct disadvantage. These days, short hair, braids in a bun, locs in a bun,…

“Army finally concedes that Black women are people.”

“Look at the history of America and all that it has wrought—the underfunded schools, the wealth gap, the unfair criminal justice system...Look at all of it.”

We had a team here, but they weren’t immediately available. Local cop couldn’t wait.

Not in El Cajon either.

Now, some good news:

1. Get rid of qualified immunity.

I can hope things are changing. Chiefs of police are losing jobs now. That’s why this skidmark was fired so quickly...his chief didn’t want to go down too! When a simple Google search is certain to bring up some nasty shit, I’d be googling every prospective hire to make sure I wasn’t going to get hit with the shit too.
