I agree with this in general. We are allowing the police to shift the risk onto the public while giving them kudos for “putting their lives on the line.”

I think we set the bar too low for what constitutes an action requiring lethal force. Even if this young man pulled the fake weapon on police, I would prefer officers risk their own safety in an effort to confirm the weapon in question is real before opening fire. That’s literally the entire reason the police force…

You should read the third paragraph again. Very carefully.

It means that people can legally walk around with fucking guns.

If you can’t determine the impact that open carry would have on how law enforcement engages with the public, then this conversation is a mountain too high to climb.

*ALLEGEDLY pulled the gun.

It matters if the police are lying about the child pulling out the bb gun.

Remember this is an open carry state.

I’m a Scandinavian and in Northern Europe it’s been common for over a century to do rooms in all white so it’s beyond a trend for us. I’ve lived in the US for almost a decade but I still gravitate towards the all-white. It looks clean, makes any color pop and never goes out of fashion in my mind. I will never get the…

The way I see it, Bernie Sanders supporters have two choices:

Well, it is pretty awful. But the primaries are over, this is the situation we’re in now, and not voting for Clinton to make some kind of point would be suicidally stupid.

And there it is. It is no longer about Sanders, if it ever was. It's just about your precious unsustainable imaginary future and not the hard god damn work it's going to take to get there. Privilege plain and simple, what will it hurt if Trump gets elected? They won't feel any pain from his insanity.

We hear a lot about “personal responsibility” when it comes to rape victims as well. Somehow, rapists never have a responsibility not to rape, but rape victims are always entirely responsible for avoiding getting themselves raped. And drunk rapists aren’t responsible for their actions because of the alcohol, but drunk…

2016 America: Where a 12-year old boy is shot and killed by the police for playing with a toy and it’s his fault because he should have “known” that people would see him as a threat, while a full-grown adult who rapes an unconscious woman and tries to flee should only have to endure a couple months of jail because…

I agree. Why should these articles be address to women. Men need the education

20 Minutes. My rapist took only about 15. That was >40 years ago, and I’ve never forgotten. These rapists think they are blameless. It only took 20 minutes, why is the rest of my life in ruins. BECAUSE THE REST OF MINE IS RUINED. POS

I believe he’s already said multiple times that he isn’t running as a third party candidate because his main goal short of a nomination is to keep Trump from winning.

Judge: “there is no tangible evidence, dna, smoking gun, just the testimony of the women”.

The ‘just’ in that sentence really gets me. Like it’s so inconsequential that three different women on three separate occasions had these experiences.

I am so gutted.
