There was a mistrial for Michael Slager (who shot Walter Scott and was filmed planting the taser afterwards) in one of the first trials, and one of the jurors was interviewed later who specifically said, “I will never vote to convict a cop, ever.”

So he follows a guy around who is clearly doing his job, accuses him criminal activity, then says the guy posed a danger to HIM and that he’s innocent.

LOL. That reply ain’t coming.

There was no urgency to find evidence or to convict the officers because the skin of the defendant was Black. If the defendant was white - in particular a white girl - they would have not only been found guilty but I’m sure that the Bell family would have received more than just compensation for these actions. For any…

It is relevant because who else has time to waste other than white people who always assuredly can do so by making other POC lives miserable, the American White Way.

Two days after the seizure, on June 10, a juvenile court judge determined that there was probable cause to detain Bell for unlawfully carrying a gun and fleeing from officers. The court conducted a second hearing on June 22 and ordered Bell’s continued detention until a trial in August. The record does not show what…

Yeah this looks like at least one COProphagia sufferer on the jury to me as well. As for what evidence, perhaps this from the Appeals Court Opinion:

I hope that whatever her next chapter is, it brings her peace and joy.

Miss Condi needs to move on.

Man, do I feel for Meghan Markle here. The British press shit on everything she does while Kate Middleton gets glowing reviews just for showing up somewhere (I think the tabloids dote on her more just to make it clear how much they hate Markle), and her dad has no idea what “consent” is and seems to think he can force…

>TRIGGERED<

Trump seems to have boiled the Right’s ethos down to “never admit fault”, “never admit defeat”, “always attack”, and above all else “trigger the libs”. This mentality has become more important than any single policy stance, any fact, more important than life itself. Because this specific topic has become a “thing”…

Shit’s crazy. Like 75% of eligible people are vaccinated. As the population of unvaccinated gets smaller and smaller, they are going to get louder, angrier, and more violent. And everything they do will just convince themselves of the righteousness of their quest.

I am going to look at the bigger picture here, his body wasn’t even dead for an hour before the Fox News, Anti Vaccine, this doesn’t work crowd began their shit. Here let me help you all before I tell you to go fuck yourselves:

This. I hate when people wait for the “big” election to vote. Right now, they’re ALL big. Hell, local school council might be the biggest ones of all, seeing as how the loudmouths vying for those positions now are all Q-Anon, anti-vax, fake CRT boogymen chasing loons. And those people eventually become city reps,…

Here’s a handy tip: If they have an (R) after their name, assume they’re a MAGA infiltrator. 

Are you kidding? Soon they will have in history books that these untamed savages just showed up on the shores of this new world with signs that read “Will Work For Free & Be More Than Willing to Subject Ourselves To The Whims of our White Racist Overlords For Centuries To Follow.” I mean someone needed to say out loud…

The Department of Education needs to fulfill its mission and impose a minimum uniform education standard on all of the nation’s schools. This should have been done 150 years ago.

The book sales must really be lagging if she’s bringing up all kinds of old shit trying to drum up interest.

It is an interesting reminder re: RBG, who became memefied by the Left and made into something of a loveable mascot and now something of a secular saint, that while she was reliably liberal, she wasn’t batting a thousand across the board.
