You can't say for sure whether he was mentally ill or not.

So having your hands up and saying why are you shooting me I don't have a gun isn't cooperating? A man already on the ground and restrained isn't cooperating by repeatedly trying to tell the cops he is literally dying? A 12 year old sat on the swings in a park with a toy is at fault for somehow not knowing the…

Ew, what is this, Trolls-Only Saturday? The responses you've been getting here are fucking nauseating.

... How does this tweet call that into question?

No one is denying that sparky. They were also police officers who knew fully well getting shot is an occupational hazard, whereas getting murdered by the police for existing isn't an occupational hazard for black Americans despite what bigots would have you believe.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: "If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?"

I think this man was mentally ill. He didn't kill those police officers for the cause. He killed them because he wanted to be known. If you check out his Facebook page you'll see a status where he clearly has suicidal ideation. You'l also see some statuses that are misogynistic in nature (which explains why he…

So wait, Jezebel won't cover ANY of the violence against protesters over the past few weeks. Not the sound cannons, the beatings, the batons, the needless arrests, the pepper spray, the tear gas, none of it. But now you're going to cover the killings and expect your coverage to be taken seriously? The mounting…

Make a run for the bayou!

See this is where, I believe, we make a critical mistake. Because it is distasteful to us (rightfully so) we decide that it should be brushed under the rug. In my opinion, we SHOULD be making a huge deal of the 75th anniversary. We should be releasing DVDs of this movie with commentary by professors of history and by…

Not gonna lie - I fucking love this movie. I'm black, and come from a long line of black women who love it despite the blatant racism. I think it must be the dresses.

Well, where am I supposed to wear my new dress now?

Cops set up shop along the street to my office. They know they can catch speeders because the traffic leading up to my work is often very dense. (Much like you, dwarf) So, people will tap the gas and get an extra 10mph of speed going (usually more) to make it into work. Unsurprisingly, said people when caught will be…

Stop committing crimes, and stop confronting police officers.

So in other words, know your place.

LMFAO.. what? this is so profoundly stupid:

It's not that nothing is being done to improve the situation, you just don't care enough about the situation to know what's being done.

not all white people are racist. Not all black people are thugs.

"in the end, ask yourself why the cops were on these situations to begin with. What crime was committed. Did the black person cooperate or did they start going on about bring oppressed by the white man. Did they instigate a physical response based on their demeanor or actions."

That argument perpetuates exactly the…

This is like expecting applause every time you successfully wipe your ass. Set the bar a little higher bub.
