These men are heroes.

Look at them, if we had a dead driver this situation would instead be an anti police circle jerk over on the Root.

I’m not talking about coersion; I’m talking about moves that dudes think look sexy but are just lame. The way the article described Aziz’s moves themselves was specifically to humiliate him and make him seem awkward and immature. Dudes are often awkward and immature. That’s a large reason why they don’t know a lot…

She wasn’t a minor...she is an adult. At what age would you give her full agency for her behavior?

She didn’t say no until the very end, though. At which point he stopped trying. And, yes, he was pressuring her into sex the whole time, not coercing her into sex. People seem to not realize that coercion involves force or threats.

Every time she expressed hesitation or said she wasn’t comfortable with something, he stopped. She doesn’t try to leave until the end and he doesn’t stop her. Instead he calls her an Uber. Also, she’s a grown adult too and doesn’t seem like she was forced into anything. Being inconsiderate is not the same thing as…

I think much of her recollection of the night was helped along by her friends. Until she told them what had happened, she had never even considered his behavior to be assault. She wanted him to stroke her hair FFS. She wanted romance, he wanted sex. I don’t know that I see this as revenge on her part and i believe…

This is how you make young white women look like infants. She was 23 years old. She had graduated from college, could legally vote, legally get married, join the military, drink alcohol, marry someone 50 years older than her. She is an adult. This reminds of me when media refers to Don Jr., Kushner and Ivanka as…

What power imbalance? She isn’t in his industry, he has no control over her. If she had left on her own accord after dinner, nothing bad would happen to her.

Looking into the story as well, I thought the same thing, but didn’t want to be the first person to voice that thought. I’ll always give the benefit of the doubt, but the story made it come off like petty airing of dirt rather than actually pointing at predatory behavior.

There was some sleaziness to his plays, but nothing that seemed outside the Tom Haverford playbook of overreaching. Certainly nothing that constitutes coercion.

Everyone keeps mentioning that he was jamming his fingers down her throat and then elsewhere, then the throat, then elsewhere... etc etc.

The story reads to me like a groupie dissatisfied she was treated like a groupie.

Maybe she just wants someone to tell her she’s wight for a change.

Thanks to that brave police officer, this fucktard didn’t get to run anybody over.

We should wait til a reckless asshole actually injures or kills somebody to stop them?

Sorry, but NO

We’ve had assholes run people over here deliberately - that psycho who ran people over in Times Square just on the other side of that…

You guys are so annoying. Just get over it. Nothing is more futile than directing from the comments. We’re all on our phones more than ever, and no one is going to stop because some old people were whining online. It’s a pointless and obnoxious crusade.

You’re right. Why don’t cops just let crimes continue to completion and just find the person when they get home? Just get a good snapshot of an identifying mark and use the database later!

Instead they insert themselves into the situation like they’re some sort of protector of the public trust or something...

I am no fan of the NYPD or their evil union. But the cops are in the right on this one. That officer was correct to try to stop that AMG. Turn yourself in, perp. You will not want these cops to find you on the streets. You treated my city and my police very badly.

I thought Lincoln stopped black dudes from getting owned.

It also requires competency. In what reality do you think that Manning offers that?
