Deterrance is all I could hope for at this point. If cops know they could go to jail and lose everything, they might be slower to shoot unarmed motorists, special needs aides, etc etc etc etc.

Ugh why do we keep giving bigoted, incompetent idiots guns? Surely there must be some way to evaluate whether you’re giving a gun to a bigoted, incompetent person. (Spoken as someone who would like to see no one given guns but recognizes that will never happen in this nation’s law enforcement.)

How about when the reporter in the chopper calls him a “thang”, like he’s a fucking vase, and that he“looks like a bad dude”, “...he’s on something” (I can tell from up here in a helicopter). Pretty sure we wouldn’t hear that about just any old pink Tom, Dick or Harry.

‘“They treated [Crutcher] like a criminal,” asserted Benjamin Crump, one of the family’s lawyers. “They treated him like a suspect. They did not treat him like somebody who needed help. Instead of giving him a hand, they gave him bullets.”’

Yeah looking at the photos just made me relive my high school years. And all the dances I attended in faux satin. Eh, hard pass on the 2000's please.

and he used to be so shy! so happy to see he’s started to come out of his shell.

Good for Super Diego, but isn’t that an inbreeding risk? 40% of the hooded tortoise species are half-siblings.

Those hardbacks on the shelf behind her all leaning to the right are giving me the itches. DON’T YOU KNOW THAT BREAKS THE BINDING? STAND THOSE BOOKS UP STRAIGHT, GIRL.

I’m wearing hairy pants right now and by that I mean I haven’t shaved my legs in weeks or put on pants yet today
