What?

Cops usually carry guns where I live (outside of the U.S.) but they shoot people at an astronomically lower rate. They’re still racist and routinely harass people with revenue-generating citations and invasions of personal space / rights, but at least they don’t murder people. That’s a U.S. specialty.

Where does it say a white woman was “rushing at them”? Your bias is showing.

The killing of non-criminals and non-suspects by cops should trigger outrage in everyone, every time. The institutionalized racism in our police (and other ‘public’ services) should as well. Our shocking failures in education, healthcare, and other universal civic institutions should also.

It was the negligent discharge of his firearm that led to the charges because he blasted someone (who was far enough away from the vehicle that the driver could open the door to get out without bumping the person) with no provocation who turned out to be an unarmed woman who had been the actual caller and was in no…

In the long run, the future of long term America is doomed, hillbillies and all.

The people saying “he was just violently shoved to the ground, from behind, by an unknown assailant. What’s the big deal?” are crazy. No one who’s ever been assaulted like that, regardless of the races / genders / whatever of everyone involved, reacts in a calm and deliberate manner. You send a dude flying like that,…

The video shows the dude standing outside of the car and talking / yelling at the woman when the other dudes comes from his side and violently shoves him to the ground.

I may be mistaken but I don’t think large corporations and hiring undocumented immigrants. Farms, landscapers, cleaners, nannies, etc. typically hire them because it helps them operate with lower margins.

It may shock you to learn this, but some read this article as a commentary on the state of our politics in general. Not every story involving ‘politics’ has to be a partisan hit piece that covers the subject like a football game. If you’re so triggered by reading something that might be a little critical of your…

Well said.

I’ve dealt with cops in several countries. Have been ‘targeted’ by cops before because of my race. Have called them (as a victim), been harrassed by them (for associating with someone they thought was a ticket scalper, but was in fact just my friend handing out tickets to the friends in our group), have been…

I’ve had a couple friends who did the Birthright deal. One of them seemed fairly normal, until she got onto the topic of her Birthright trip. Once that got started the conversation was basically a long (and clearly propaganda-based) monologue about Israel’s superiority and how their militarism and occupation of…

No one ‘looks good’ in this situation. However, it very clearly looks like someone physically struggled with the police, was carrying a weapon, and made to reach for it while several cops were pointing guns at him after a struggle. This doesn’t make the cops ‘look good’ but it certainly isn’t something we should be…

I like Papa John’s.

Just another reason to revile the ‘royal family’ bullshit - along with all the other disgusting aspects, they represent the ongoing repression of women’s right to an opinion in matters that concern them.

I’m interested to see whether or not his is reposted on Lifehacker Australia... and if so, how that will jive with the current situation in which people are leveraging their retirement accounts to pay for down payments, or getting interest-only loans on investment properties by using the book value of their previous…

One time, some neighbors got upset when I was lighting fireworks. So I apologized, and stopped. Saved them for the next day and lit them at my friend’s house.

Hollywood casts an attractive young female star instead of an obscure fat middle-aged male (or trans, or whatever) actor and you feign surprise. Interesting.

You're so edgy and cool!
