1988: Damning report on a highly reputable news outlet

His writing is eloquent and nuanced, and does a really good job of telling exactly how he felt during and after his experience with the show. Larter’s response, when it came, is deep-dish bullshit: centring HER feelings of being “heartbroken”, and offering the smarmy non-apology of being sorry for what she MAY have…

I also did the math. $1.5m in 2 years is NOT a lot of drugs.

It’s just a coincidence that she was fine discussing intimate scenes with a white co-star, even being open to improvising, and left a Black lead entirely out of the (shouted) discussion of how disrespected she felt about being asked to show bare shoulders in a scene with her character’s husband. 

1000 pounds of weed is astonishing? Cops are either dumb or lying. It’s a lot, sure, but that’s a bold statement.

Inappropriate yes, but racist?  

After “Heroes” became a success, our scripts came with a warning of our immediate dismissal, should any material ever be disclosed. “REMEMBER … WE’RE A FAMILY AND A FAMILY IS ONLY AS STRONG AS THE SECRETS WE KEEP” each script read.

I would like to know how that video can give “an inaccurate picture of what happened during the subject search warrant”. That’s gibberish. Where’s the “inaccuracy”? When you look at the video, do you see anything that didn’t happen during the raid?

He clearly didn’t follow load strapping 101:

If you didn’t learn to keep a metal coffee can on the stove top when cooking for the left over grease/fat, you had a poor teacher.

She is literally being asked to get the hell out of Dodge, just for telling people to wear a piece of fabric on their face when in public. Wow.

I don’t know any of the people involved, but my guess is these women might rest easier in peace if we all got a little more outraged at a system that allows this person get a four-month prison sentence (“rough” or otherwise) and now have to cope with some sadness.

To each his own.  I want to make stories like this not…

I didn’t vote for Lightfoot, but I don’t begrudge her, either She’s seems just as mediocre as the rest. However, I do take issue with this BS. She used to head up the Police Board and was definitely an insider, so even though she may not have been privy to this specific incident, she knew that stupid fuckshit like…

Welcome to the Machine, Mayor Lightfoot. Understand now that you are siding with the police over your constituents, and understand as well that no matter what you do to protect the police, they will never, ever, EVER get your back, and they will throw you under the bus the first chance they get.

So, it is illegal to have aftermarket exhaust, tinted windows, euro headlights, etc. (Varies depending on jurisdiction). Yet, this trend of ever bugger truck / SUV is fine?

You mean the doctors and nurses who ram their patients’ doors in and handcuff them?

It’s impressive that after all that insanity, the (concurrent, thus max 84 mo) sentence is the same as a common car loan term these days.

In ANY other career, a screwup of this magnitude would have everyone involved fired. Defund the police.
