Because sometimes people don’t report crimes to the police, as you already know. (Especially if you are reading The Root which often writes about how crimes against minorities are not taken seriously.)

Why do company HR departments investigate claims that can be classified as assault under state law? I have never, ever seen anyone question this. What happens when she says her coworker groped her breasts? HR handles it, of course. It is only colleges and rape that get this question. Not even when college handles…

An attorney friend of mine described Reno 911 as obviously a farce and not realistic, yet clearly made by people who knew a lot about law enforcement. I found that description... ominous. There was some truth to all that farce.

I predict nothing will change. Look at history, both recent and old, if you don’t believe me.

It turns out the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is a state agency. It is not under the mayor. The mayor appoints the chief of police, but the BCA apparently handles cases like this.

A criminal defense attorney friend of mine in Wisconsin gave me some statistics back circa 2002-2003. I don’t remember the exact numbers, but I remember the gist. Something like over 80% of Wisconsin judges were former prosecutors and over two thirds had never, ever defended a single criminal case. Almost half had no…

In a comment to the Post, Abigail Klem, Ivanka Trump’s brand’s president blamed the company’s worker exploitation problem on its size.

Not familiar with Duke specifically, but if adjunct faculty at my previous institution are any indication (where I served as a student representative on a committee for non-tenure track faculty), the cost will be very small (on the order of $3/student/year, based on the ~$28/student/year to cover salary and benefits…

Wow, a whole $150 per affected resident? That is sure to cover health costs. [/sarcasm]

I got screwed on that, too - because my state refused to expand Medicaid for no good reason (even after the state had to start paying 10%, it would cost the state less to expand Medicaid than to refuse the expansion). I 100% blame the Republicans for that tax hit that ate my entire refund and then some.

So, the idea is this:

It was unclear if Jefferson considered it a celebratory feast or was just being polite to a diplomat. For Clinton and onward it was explicitly a celebratory feast. That is all I know.

They don’t care about fetuses, either. They oppose Zika prevention funding: a disease which can cause lifelong debilitating illnesses in fetuses and embryos. They cut prenatal care funding in state after state (Texas’ maternal death rate has skyrocketed after their “protecting women’s health” bills that…

folks in your state who so desperately need mentak health care

Dan Patrick has been a disaster. All he seems to care about is generating new talking points for his radio show. A lot of important stuff is not being done and he is trying to force a special session to get his bathroom bill and state mandates strangling local governments (i.e., the property tax bill).

Surprisingly, it is lower for Latinas that whites. From the Texas DHS report on maternal mortality and morbidity:

No, I grew up in the 1980's. He is about to turn 18 (or became 18 recently, I cannot remember all my teenage coworkers’ milestones) and has no idea how hated he is by some reliably voting demographics, how dangerous what he suggested would have been for a gay teenage boy or how radically the US has changed since the…

Yes, I did mostly bypass the gendered part mostly because I saw no indication of it personally or in any data-based analysis.

Texas. But it could be a lot of places. The surveys were all over the nation.

You are making it far too complicated. It was willful partisan stupidity and racism.
