I’m astounded by how calm and firm Rakeyia Scott manages to stay throughout the whole ordeal - it’s astounding that Keith’s own wife stays calmer than a group of flapping police that are meant to be able to control their emotions. The woman deserves a fucking medal.

Greetings fellow dogness person!

Contralto hi-five!

Why thank you, I wish I could claim responsibility for that phrase, but that one’s a stolen one!

I’m not give the Mail the traffic, but I’ve been told that the article accuses Gigi of “unmodel-like behaviour”, - seriously, is she just meant to go limp and let him do what he wants to her? The reporting has really boiled my piss.

The bravery from that guy really stood out to me as well, especially when he went into the scrum as one person was floored - I presume to act as credible witness given that a person completely surrounded by police is otherwise susceptible to whatever narrative the police choose to run with. He must *really* want to do…

I was just about to mention the Blind on what very much appears to be covered here...

This has to be the only time a woman’s breasts NOT being censored has offended me.

Surely The Weeknd got a hairct?

their terrifically long (and flexible) stingers are a modified sex organ that’s now capable of delivering a solid half-hour of excruciating pain

Good. They’re acting as judge and jury and sentencing Burke to no doubt endless harrassment and threats from the general public - something he’s probably already had a lot of. The police at the time couldn’t press charges with what they had, if there was so little evidence there is certainly not enough to state they…

Oh very much this! The problematic wording has different connotations when you consider the intended audience of a tabloid rag and Britain’s adherence to observation of class. Privileged people turning out to be absolute scum is very soothing to most tabloid readers, it reassures them that being normal, honest,…

Yup, I’ve never driven an automatic (and probably never will if I can’t get a year clear of seizures, le sigh) and they’re actually slightly harder to get than a manual car (my mum has an automatic only licence, so I’ve experienced her exasperation many a time).

I really would have thought so as well!

The boot style ones look like my dream summer shoes - I have to wear boots at all times because my ankles dislocate at the drop of a hat (yay EDS...). Cool feet with ankle support? FETCH THE MOP!

I’m sorry that black Americans have to live under a shadow where they can pop out for a pint of milk and end up dead because of a trigger happy police person.

Troll now with 100% extra free dismiss.

Dammit, I wish I’d seen your post before attempting politeness to it!

Hmm. That’s an interesting twist in the tale. I mean, there’s still probably a racial profiling issue going on there, but it definitely is something that makes the officer’s motivation somewhat more complex.

I’m not imagining that this is happening with increasing regularity, am I? It seems like the time between these incidents where an unarmed POC is slain with little or no possibility that they had given the officers that shot them reason to do so is getting shorter, and shorter.
