“man, I really pissed people off recently. I know what I’ll do to fix it! I’ll be in a woody allen film!”
I just took over the church next door with a Hypno. Now I feel kind of weird.
It’s a pity she had to mix the respectability politics in there. That kind of ruined it for me. We shouldn’t have to be perfect examples of citizenry to expect good/fair treatment.
Becoming even a cop of the lowest rank requires three years of training and the equivalent of an associate’s degree in my country. Consequently, American cops kill 38 times the amount of citizens per capita each year than our cops do.
So this week, by tomorrow, we’ll have one cop fired for posting a video, and zero cops fired for shooting black men in scenarios escalated solely by the police involved.

Damn. That’s amazing. That needs to be on T-shirts and bumper stickers and stuff. Seriously. I would love that to be a trending phrase.
And in answer to your headline, yes, I’m afraid you will. It breaks my heart that a part of me is grateful that my son inherited his father’s light skin tone instead of my own.
I think he’s just saying that this victim is beyond reproach. In most of the previous incidents, the victims had a criminal record. I’m not saying that excuses anything. It absolutely does not. But, in this instance there are NONE of the other factors that people bring up as to why it is really the victim’s fault and…
He was one of the good ones? Even if he had a record as long as my arm he STILL shouldn’t have been shot!
Comment from my bestie on my outraged FB post this morning:
No record, no mugshot, no criminal past, legally permitted weapon, complete cooperation, all on video.
And now you know how women have felt for decades when they play video games.
I wouldn’t know, I picked the girl avatar because the male one looked like a trashy Kingdom Hearts reject. No thanks.
