Maybe victims are more likely to report these crimes where they would not have before (because they know people are listening and believing them, finally). Maybe this isn’t information we have yet.

Even if only 200 are typically reported (as other comments are saying), how do reported incidents typically compare to total incidents and has that ratio changed? Maybe victims are more likely to report these crimes where they would not have before (because they know people are listening and believing them, finally).…

So how do the other nearly 50% of the stats break down? Think they might be related to all the riots and white people being beaten im the streets?

So, I’ve been Black for a while now and I gotta agree with the mouth breathers on one issue-racism predates Trump (think about the world Trump’s dad lived in), the difference is the whites who don’t want to be lumped in with the racists. Whites who could ignore racism or would have been isolated from it now read about…

How much of an uptick is this?

Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery. Malcolm X

How does that compare to a typical 10-day span? Does the article say? Close to 900 sounds like a lot, but I don’t have anything to compare it to to see if it’s worse than usual.

900 reports in 10 days is a pretty catchy headline, but without knowing how this compares to the average, how are we supposed to draw any conclusions from this data?

I would make you a $1000 bet right now that, aside from accidents or what will most likely be individual officers overreacting unlawfully (both of which will result in appropriate condemnation and prosecution, if warranted), that there will be no organized, targeted, intentional killings of protesters by police in…

I’m sorry, it is total BS. I have a college degree and worked hard to get where I am today. Paying someone $15/hour to flip burgers, cook french fries, push cash register buttons, or make a sandwich is ridiculous.

I like how rural white that want manufacturing jobs to return are delusional, but people who want $15 an hour for unskilled labor are righteous.

“My morals and ethical obligation to my patients will not permit me to work for such a person”

Is this considered courageous? To leave something noble because you’re afraid that the new regime will make things worse? I’d assume that the courageous thing would be to stay and help ensure that within your means you keep things as normal as possible.

tl;dr I’m gonna fuck over veterans who desperately need help with PTSD because principles or some lofty shit like that.

Every part of this sanctimonious scree makes me want to punch a wall. Why on earth did you publish this garbage?

It matters. It suggest for one thing that the mother has no faith in the narrative as it stands, and that she has a weird sort of proxy fixation. “Fatemah” should be concerned with the daughter’s welfare, not photographing passing atrocities.

When the going gets tough, quit!

In related news, there is going to be an opening for a psychologist at a VA medical center in Nevada come January...

This is stupid. What does this honestly accomplish? She preaches how great these veterans are, how much she loves her job, how proud she is, and how they need help. Yet she is quiting. Her actions will not accomplish anything but hurt those she says she wants to help....

So, you worked there for two months and now you are leaving. And HamNo earns his $12/article for writing about it. What a huge story this is!
