ohhh they do, they do

She’s dead and he still feels the need to basically call her a liar. What I want to know is why no one has asked him to explain he buddy Jean’s participation in the event? or their subsequent harassment of her? was he “falsely accused” of that as well? I feel bad for his daughters, but fuck if I’m not absolutely…

I don’t trust the character of someone who apparently feels no guilt about his part in a night that led to someone’s suffering and suicide. I can’t imagine doing anything that led to such an outcome and then not feeling guilty about it, whether my actions were deplorable or completely innocuous.

Yes to both.

I’ve had fellow liberals use this exact “under contract” comment which felt very strange, given our similar opinions on Trump in general.

Some folks have brought up the idea that Miss Universe is strictly about looks and it’s in her contract not to gain weight in the year she’s crowned and so it’s like dishonoring every other contract, etc.

but but...THE UNWARRANTED CONFIDENCE!! THE ABILITY TO WALK DOWN THE STREET WITHOUT FEELING ON DISPLAY!

Starred for “petulant whiteness.”

nope. don’t want.

not just their looks! god, imagine being raised as a white guy?

No one’s as irrationally confident in their looks as fat white dudes. Like, they’re always the loudest critics of other people’s looks, particularly women’s.

“A neutral online persona”

Except the other officer here knew it wasn’t a gun and was going to restrain him with a non-lethal option. So to the non-shooting officer it didn’t look like a gun. Regardless of your unskilled opinion of the photo police protocol is not “Shoot anyone holding their arms in a shooting stance”. That’s not on any book…

That’s not a “photo”, it’s a still taken from an actual video of the entire incident.

Yes.... but no. You have to adjust for population size. There are a LOT more white people than black, so there SHOULD be more white people shot than black. There are, but not by the difference in population size. As a result, an unarmed black man is FIVE TIMES more likely to be shot than an unarmed white man.

I guess I can see how that might look like a “shooting stance,” but I’ve seen many people with special needs/mental health issues take that same stance when handing over something they think they aren’t supposed to have...they hand it over like an offering to prove they’re doing the right thing.

This reaction is exactly why they released a still frame instead of the entire video.

That isn’t a photo. It’s a still from a video, which means it does not tell you whether he was in a stance or moving his hands together up above his head. It does not tell you why one officer shot him as another tased him. It does not show if any efforts were made to deesculate the situation or why a police officer…

So how come cops always seems to shot and kill the black man without a weapon but the white guy who shot up an elementary school is taken into custody without incidence? Cops seems to inherently see black men as constant threats. I guess maybe they identify with angry white men so they feel more comfortable handling…

I believe the word you are looking for is Tazer.
