I’m sorry, but I think the officer didn’t have much choice. She had a knife in her hand. She was lunging to stab the girl in pink. That is not a taser situation. Tasers do not instantly stop people, and they do not always work.

He’s getting $179m not just for quitting. He’s getting $179m despite running the company he was responsible for straight into the ground. And, oh, by the way, he’ll move right on to another high-paid executive job where he will proceed to run that company straight into the ground.

Why didn’t anyone in the crowd try to intervene and deescalate this situation. After all she was just a kid.  People know what dialing 911 in this day and age can lead to. If you really want to defund the police you first have to stop calling them. When their call volume drops you have data that shows you don’t need…

Nearly every initial press account of this incident- which was based on the secondhand accounts of family members- was completely contradicted by the bodycam footage. Heres a picture of the dead girl about to plunge a six inch knife into the woman in pink

Interestingly, AV Club gave this episode of Bob and David an “A”.

The sketch used blackface knowingly as an attempt to punch up, skewering both white privilege and police brutality. There was no racial stereotyping, and people of color weren’t the butt of the joke. Its akin to Tropic Thunder, and it is 100% fine. 

Well the video is marked as private so I can’t quite judge the sketch, but it appears as though the point was, honestly, exactly in line with the times going by the description: Being believed to be black automatically provokes police to violence, and being white gives you a ton of leeway. But I can’t see it so who…

As long as Bernie pays his taxes and treats employees like people, then I don’t care how many houses he has. Being a socialist does not mean having to live like a monk.

Thank you Elizabeth Warren, it was a beautiful performance; it was poetry; it was calypso music. On a certain level you stopped & frisked his candidacy much like he did to us on the streets of Brooklyn. Props to you!

Anybody talking about “likability” in the context of an actual white supremacist can log right off, personally

I don’t even have to see the autoplay videos because I’ve fixed my browser. But I just locked my work computer and a notification is on the screensaver about the thing playing, with an option to pause.

Deadspin’s bosses, turn this ridiculous shit off, it’s not making you money and it’s pissing off all your readers…

The question was what would he tell his black son to do in the case he was pulled over. This article pretends it’s his general response to racial injustice in America. I challenge someone here to answer this question in a meaningfully better way, considering that it is you giving advice to your black son.

I agree, that’s a tricky headline.  

That’s exactly how this reads. Not cool.

As a white man I do not feel outraged, just confused.

The headline and the last paragraph feel way incongruent with the rest of this article. 

The fuck is up with that headline?

He’s a ‘disgraced US senator’? Fuck that shit. What happened to him was the only disgrace.

The problem is, it has generally gotten to the point where the average voter IS that dumb. Look at the vocabulary Mango Mussolini uses, and how effective it is riling up not just his base, but the people his base hates. I don't think Idiocracy is a strong enough term, anymore.

Nah. Use the nickname that gets under his skin. Etmm, shell. It's fine. It's an apt name. Moscow Mitch can continue to carry it. He's fucking our election security and our national security, so he can just wear it.
