There’s nothing wrong in learning your rights, even if you have nothing to hide, and particularly when it comes to the fact that the police may leverage the fact most people don’t know their rights to their advantage. Then there’s the fact that some cops also don’t know law very well and over exert their authority in…

I’ve been saying the same thing about Leticia Wright in Black Panther 2. I get the impression that racists/misogynists are laying the ground work that she’s an anti-vaxxer so they can bash the film if she becomes the new Black Panther.

Breonna Taylor was sleeping, you ghoulish fuck.

Thing is police might be there for reasons beyond your control. Like they are investigating a break in at a neighbor and want to know if you heard or saw anything. I live in an apartment complex and one night someone took a blowtorch to the coin operated laundry to get the money. Cops were asking everybody if they saw…

To add.

That’s weird, locked doors didn’t seem to be too much of a problem when police murdered Amir Locke and Breonna Taylor…

Police make mistakes all. of. the. time.  And they never have to pay for them.  Ever.  

There was an armed officer there. The school resource officer. He had a gun and reportedly did not exchange fire with the shooter as he entered the building, although even state law enforcement officials are apparently unsure why. And a library a couple blocks away could hear the gunshots from inside the school, so…

They must have been waiting for a good guy with a gun to show up.

Nick, I can give you a firsthand example of why that won’t always work. Police had a reason to knock on my door that I had no power to prevent; they found a dead infant a few streets over in the bushes.

In ye olden days, they were trained to secure the scene and wait for backup and negotiators, assuming that people with guns in places like this were most often a hostage type situation. Supposedly, Columbine changed this strategy to a more active “find and confront the shooter” strategy, as there, hundreds of cops…

It shouldn’t be unreasonable to say that the cops on the scene should’ve risked their lives to save the lives of children, but apparently that’s a radical idea these days.

When Philando Castile was shot, I started hearing-as a defense, “The cops just want to get home safely at night”, to which....I’m sorry, that’s not the job you signed up for.  You do have to risk your life, that’s part of your job.  I don’t mean to be cold-hearted, but I don’t know where or why we got the notion that…

Every single cop in America could burn to death slowly and I would bring the marshmallows.

Whatever you do, do not say “I hope you brought a warrant and a jackhammer, because the new concrete in my basement is reinforced and you ain’t getting those bodies out of there with just a sledgehammer.”

It is kind of disgusting, well, very disgusting how the NFL capitalizes on the goodwill of military returns and the “exhilaration” of seeing a plane fly over a stadium. Especially since the former are planned months beforehand and the latter are kind of blase once you’ve seen one. Also, for a bunch of alleged military…

The irony of your aunt’s statement - “I know people disagree, but it’s my choice, and if you don’t like it, too bad.” Huh, how could that mindset apply in other areas....?

Ah yes, rape, that famously easy crime to report and successfully prosecute in a timely and trauma-free manner. 

Please stop referring to Republicans as the Taliban.

Stop the American Taliban that is the republican party. Their nightmare of a theocratic autocracy is coming true.
