Just curious, since you’re calling bullshit on this being a coincidence, how do you envision the scenario where this was a planned hit? The chase started 8 blocks away...are you saying they saw where this uncle was driving, knew exactly where he was going to be crossing that street, and then planned this chase to go…

I think there may be some idea that a strict no-chase policy turns high-speed getaways into a get-out-of-jail-free card. That’s been a bit of a problem in the Boston area, where dickheads are treating roads, sidewalks, parks, and even the fucking zoo as their personal ATV rally courses and the cops just ignore it (I…

There is a troll in your replies, just dismiss them. They aren’t even consistent in their bullshit, picking a single point out of your comment, misrepresenting it it so they can strawman it, and ignoring everything else you said. Just use the the dismiss function on it.

I get what you're saying but I think the news has to say 'alleged' until there's a conviction. But yeah, the Wild Wild West shit has to stop. Firearms and fast cars aren't the answer to every problem, whatever the movies might have taught us. I swear some cops think they're in an 80s action film.

Catch them later when you see them walking to the store to buy cigarettes. Trouble is not only are there a bunch of Judge Dredd wannabes and adrenaline junkies on the force, but cops are all about who “gets the collar” and hypercompetitive too. It ain’t enough that a suspect will eventually be caught, they think that…

Car chases are fucking stupid. Unless there’s straight up a hostage in the car or the perpetrator is spraying passers-by with gunfire or whatever, let them go. You have witnesses, you have footage, you have the license, you have other cars you can post up all over the place, you have what you need, you will find them.…

Yet another example of why hot pursuits are dumb as hell.

“NBC News reports that Minneapolis police said in a statement that the suspect officers were pursuing was alleged to have been involved in multiple robberies.”

Well, well, well, who’da thunk it? John the Zero actually provided something of use? Will wonders never cease? Lemme pull up to muh fainting couch.

Damn, it's been four full years since Obama left office and I'm still waiting for the signal to jihad some white people.

Use it well. I stole it from Jaun in the hopes that the irony might register. 🙄

I love that phrase: “>> this tactic is intellectually dishonest” and with your permission, will use it often!

Michael, I need to run you a check each and every time you put out a Clapback so I can properly show my appreciation for the education I’ve once again received. Bravo! Bravissimo! 

Fellow cracker here. Well, the rate of suicide and other deaths of despair among us is increasing exponentially all the time, so that part of the project is well underway. All the non-white people can sit back and watch us destroy ourselves. Except that we won’t be able to just kill ourselves quietly. We are gonna…

Donny’s red dunce cap posse always requires a boogeyman, they have no good ideas and their policies are tired and moronic so they have to scream about what’s hiding behind your trash can out back ready to pounce. Who can forget the national terror when MS-13 was coming for us or the grip of Sharia Law was fixing to…

• It’s the inability to accept that white privilege exists but believing that some people are “underprivileged.”

White person here. “Chris” is a fuckin’ moron. I read The Root every day precisely BECAUSE its articles make me realize how limited my perspective can be. Getting butthurt over someone else telling you how shit is just shows how fragile your own ego is. I don’t know everything. I barely know ANYTHING. I’m glad to…

Yet another wonderful Mailbag.

No one, but no one, can bring home an article like Michael Harriott. Every final sentence in a Harriott piece is like a Tyson right uppercut.
