Some 15 year olds have baby faces. This is a pic supplied by the family. I’m sure people are scouring social media as we speak looking for pictures to make the victim look like a gang member. Jordan Edwards sounds like a common name, I’m sure any minute pics of 35 year old Jordan Edwards will be used to defame the…

Ummmm not even the cops are claiming they were shot at...

Oof, that’s unfortunate. I can see how she thought it was innocent since she was following up on his use of the term. She was clearly trying to just make banter and didn’t mean it in an aggressive way, but that doesn’t justify using the word at all. Gotta be better than that.

No arrests of anyone else in the car indicates that this is a transparent sham excuse, and this cop has no excuse for killing this child.

Yeah, we need to stop the hero worship of cops. Not every cop is a hero, plenty are just violent scum. Or jumpy cowards. Or racist. Or collaborators with the violent, jumpy, cowardly, racist scum. Three of the five bullies in my high school class became cops, which looks like a pattern. And Trump isn’t helping.

Your strawman isn’t subtle, and neither is your racism. Go away.

Um you know when racists read black, gun and violence they can’t wait to dog whistle their hatred and pretend they’re getting away with something.

???

It would depend why he was killed.

Actually, I love it. I read most of the posts, and I agree with most, and thus don’t comment. I hold those with whom I am aligned politically to a higher standard than, say, the neanderthals over at Breitbart. We are better than them. You seem to extrapolate from my comments on a small number of posts to make a larger…

So that’s three titles. How many more before he has them all? Six? Twelve? Forty-five?

Look I know we’re talking about the Browns here but surely they didn’t bring just one lightning cable

—Chad, honey? Maybe you shouldn’t watch the draft if it makes you feel sad.

Only too late did Chad realize he’d slipped the roofie into the wrong glass of soda.

Say what you will, but that orangutan is a huge improvement in Indy. He surely wouldn’t trade a first for Trent Richardson.

If you looked up “stupid take” on Google, and then clicked Images, a screenshot of your comment here would be there.

Speaking as a white person who was given a name that white people have been giving their same-gender-as-me children for literally hundreds of years, and which at least half the people I encounter can’t correctly pronounce?

Because many white people like to dilute MLK’s message to make it all sunshine an rainbows, just so they can get on a high horse when quoting him.

Do you realize how desperate and media illiterate you seem questioning The Root’s credibility here when this isn’t even their reporting? This is, very obviously, a piece of aggregation based based on a WaPo story. Based on a publicly available lawsuit. And an interview vetted under the terms of a settlement agreement…

This is why I’m so tired of people claiming that discussions about and/or confronting racism will perpetuate it, and the only way to end it is to stop talking about it. Jasmine was expected to just ignore her potential teammates racist comments in order to ensure they had good “chemistry”. Her being quiet would have…
