“Dobb Knobbin’” made me LOL at my desk
Veterans get preference when police forces are hiring. It makes sense in a way because the federal government has already invested in getting them trained in weapons and all kinds of other things. Problem is even the worst neighborhoods in America are not active war zones, but that must be a hard mentality to shake if…
A witness, named Jaccbot Hinds, told the New York Daily News that the cops emerged from an unmarked vehicle and fired off their guns without warning. “They just hopped out of the car,” said Hinds. “It’s almost like they did a hit. They didn’t say please. They didn’t say put your hands up, nothing.”
And I would rather they wear their bulletproof gear even if it’s *whine* hot and heavy than kill people who weren’t threatening them because they’re afraid of being shot. That way nobody dies for nothing.
Bullies who are given training that tells them that they are in constant danger for their lives and therefore should treat every encounter as potentially fatal, I should add.
It isn’t that cops think that anything looks like a gun. It is just that cops think that anything a black man is holding looks like a gun.
At some point we’re going to need to make cops choose between valuing their own lives above anyone else’s, and getting paid hazard pay. The job isn’t actually dangerous if the default response is to kill anyone who looks remotely threatening, and so perhaps cops should be paid like private security guards.
I just need a quick reminder, they took Dylan Roof, James Holmes, and Aaron Cruz alive right? I can’t really remember if these 3 mass shooters were taken alive.
Crossing my fingers that a rogue yearbook staffer puts her photo back in the yearbook right before the pages go to the publisher (as a former yearbook staffer in high school, sticking it to the administration is a cause near and dear to my heart).
Six minutes and 20 seconds: it took only about the length of a TV news mini-segment for 19-year-old to murder 17…
Police in Sacramento, Calif., shot and killed an unarmed black man in his own backyard Sunday night after mistaking…
But, on the bright side, we’ve managed to make #metoo about putting women on the spot and make them uncomfortable in fun new ways. It was the natural endgame.
This makes paying 60% of my income to live in beautiful Sonoma County worth it. We had a sheriff who amid wildfires took ICE to task publicly. Our police force has been very vocal with the community that they will not follow B.S. orders and undocumented folks should not live in fear of reporting crimes or seeking…
So, I have never been able to get through more than five minutes of this show, but I’m full on addicted to all the recaps. The thing I found most truly unbelievable about what I read went down Monday, was that there was footage of Becca and Arie playing chess. That dude does NOT know how to play chess. There’s just no…
Sessions said of the laws on Wednesday. Calling them “harmful,” “unjust,” and “unconstitutional,”
Speaking to a room of law enforcement officials at the California Peace Officer’s Association in Sacramento,…
