Sheriff Clarke, like Sheriff Joe, is one of those “tough on crime” types who would happily tear up the Constitution if it meant he could dispense some real frontier justice on the “bad guys” he is so desperate to punish.

The reason no one mentions the dead man’s crimes is that they are irrelevant to the way he was treated while in custody. 

Yup, that sure sounds like her!

In the strictest fairness, Pratt didn’t grow up sick rich—just “average.” However, he was never, to my knowledge, poor, and he certainly isn’t struggling presently, so he can just shut his trap.

I think the other issue is hat when people talke about working class or blue collar, the perception is that these are hardworking, deserving white people which leaves out the issue of POCs can and do also belong to those economic classes, but they are never represented. I am not sure if Pratt thought this through.

This is true. When I was younger, we had a valiant judge on the California Supreme Court, Rose Bird, who did her best to overturn death penalty cases before her. She was removed by the voters who were scandalised at her anti-death penalty stance. I believe that no other judge in California has ever been removed by the…

They went from a conservative Democratic government to a conservative Republican government since then. Don’t ever let someone tell you that both parties are the same.

Agreed. DeVos’s naive ignorance isn’t nearly as bad as Sessions’s willful hate.

Ostebnsibly and publicly, they give a different reason for why they want to keep them than the reason many surmise, but...

Devos is an idiot who has been hamstrung by ESSA. She’s awful, but I am hopeful that she won’t get very much done that wasn’t about to get done anyway (sad trombone). She *has* succeeded in splitting the “reform” movement into factions and revealing the horrible base longings, which is sort of useful.

Most police chiefs disagree with Sessions about consent decrees. They allow these chiefs to make changes they otherwise would be almost certainly not be able to make to clean up their forces because of the strength of police union presidents absent the decrees. A chief may not care about police brutality (or even…

Yes. So much to unpack.

Jeff Sessions is basically the only thing that Breitbart readers are happy about from the Trump administration. That should tell you how bad he is.

Jefferson Bureaugard Sessions III is worse than Betsy DeVos.

There’s so much to unpack here. Have you noticed that it’s harmful federal intrusion when trying to protect civil right but if a state legalizes pot that state is over stepping?

Wow. Hitler is really seeing a rise in popularity during passover.

No, we didn’t. Republicans did. Just them. Just them.

I’m not mitigating the trauma, all I’m saying it’s unlikely to be a student shooter. How and why would be easy access to guns, and male entitlement.

Glad someone had said this. So bored of all the bootlicking corporations get in ‘progressive’ spaces

Also, and I promise i don’t mean this in a snarky way, Modcloth finding new models on Instagram would pretty much be the most on-brand thing ever.
