Let's assume that Brown did punch or attack the cop. Hell, let's go full-0ut Fox News and assume that Brown had just committed a crime and was feeling aggressive toward cops in general, and decided for some bizarre reason that the best way to not get picked up on the theft charges stemming from the recently committed…

I imagine there are a lot of good stories in mental health, as there are in my field, which is special education.

Not super related except for the puppy/job part:

This is actually my dad's story but it's a family favorite that always gets trotted out at holidays and parties.

oh i have another one!

My boss sat the entire company down one morning in the boardroom for a very important meeting.

Because the use of the vernacular was very appropriate in this context.

"Unfortunate?" Oh honey. No, no, no, no.

It should never have gotten as far as it did. Once the problem was spotted months management should have dealt with it without pulling readers into it. An open letter should NEVER have been necessary. How this was handled was disrespectful to the staff and your readers.

Back to the greys, I go! What all-over fuckery.

I'm all for bringing back the greys, with one condition:

Time to bust out a new burner name: TheonGreycommentJoy.

I don't know. It's only Tuesday. So I'm hopeful but also so scared about what's to come.

I strongly disagree. As a black man living in America, this is about ALL of us. Those of us that decry tragedy, and those of us who are oblivious.

The woman was forced to watch her friend get beaten, then she got beaten, stabbed, sexually assaulted, threatened with further rape, tortured, and the only reason she's alive is because he decided to go look for a…

Black people don't ever call the police, you'll notice that every time the police are involved it's because either they were patrolling around looking for someone to mess with or they got called in by someone else. We learned our lesson a long time ago and it's no secret that most of us look at any interaction with…

It must be terrible for black parents to have to tell their children "Even if you're unarmed, even if you're well-behaved, even if you do everything right, there is still a chance that a white police officer will murder you in the street with your hands up."

The context is that he was unarmed and had his hands in the air. The context is that police murder a black person every 28 hours in the US. The context is hundreds of years of dehumanization of black people: lynchings, slavery, you name it. The context is the rights that we are supposedly afforded by the Constitution,…

Someone wrote a piece for the Good Men Project called "It Takes a Village to Raise these Rapists". It was a great read about how it's not just personal failure or parental failure, it's an entire community that has failed by teaching young men that they are invincible to consequences because they can run fast or throw…
