Thank you for all of this. I’m so sorry for your loss. She seemed like a wonderful woman from your posts.

I’m sorry for your loss as well. These deaths are all tragedies, and it’s not Justine’s fault she’ll get treated differently. It sounds like she’d hate the idea too.

The BCA will absolutely leak anything negative about a white person to protect a cop. They did it in a Mankato police killing earlier this year where they leaked the toxicity report on the victim - a white man who was a school teacher.

Predictions:

Every other damned thing in the world is being digitized, why not electronic gun holsters? The strap doesn’t unlock unless the body cam is running.

Oh, I agree. Whenever I am talking to other white people about Black Lives Matter, I always end with the following: the other reason it’s important is because it’s only a matter of time before they start shooting random white people, too.

The officer in the passenger seat pulled his gun and shot Damond through the driver’s side door, sources said.

Yeah, I really fucking hate that this is true, but I reckon this kind of incident involving a white blonde lady might finally prompt better cop screening and firearms training.

Incidentally, anyone know if this is has been on the rise lately or if it’s just been in the news more over the last five years? I remember

The shooting of a white Australian is likely to provoke a very different public and police response than the many, many killings of unarmed black Americans by police in the last few years.

Wait, so she was talking to the officer in the driver’s seat, and the officer in the passenger’s seat saw fit to shoot her THROUGH THE DOOR (i.e. he/she had to fire a shot basically AT their partner)?

If you see something, say something.

If you are a skittish, nervous, risk-adverse person, do not become a police officer.

“Insufficient interest”.

the fuck they care about boring? fucking irons and dogs and shit

This is the second time I’ve had to post this pic this week.

Amen. As bell hooks said, we need more stories that show the transformation of white people into antiracists.

This is really one of those golden opportunities for me. I mean, what if I call and we really hit it off? I’m just saying what if MY call is the ONE CALL he answers out of thousands and we vibe. I feel like we would vibe, me and Jimmy Butler the professional basketball star. It would probably start slow. Like he’d

I actually liked the first one! My husband downloaded it and was like “you LOVE Kathryn Hahn” and he was right. I love Kathryn Hahn. Sometimes movies like this are fun. I mean, Troop Beverly Hills probably had crummy reviews too, but I will watch that shit all day.

“All Day” by Liza Jessie Peterson was an interesting look into the lives of the kids that are held on Rikers (Ms. Peterson taught High School classes there) that will tear you up.
