I suppose that’s true. I figured him saying it on Graham Norton of all places would be a dead giveaway!

There are a lot of people who don’t recognize sarcasm, particularly not in print. And I’m glad I’m not one of them!

I heard he owned a hoodie

Fox News will find the one photo of him on Facebook making up a silly ‘gang hand sign’, get Andrew Napolitano to declare him a thug, and chalk it up to the unfortunate state of fatherless black youth these days.

I’m a vet with PTSD and that doesn’t give me a pass to murder somebody’s child.

I haven’t seen the interview but assumed that was the case, I honestly can’t understand people who don’t recognize this as a joke even in print. For what it’s worth, I know someone who worked as an extra on one of his films and they said he was super nice and funny and was actually friendly to the extras which is…

I heard that he is a former vet reportedly with PTSD - should he be on the beat at all without lots of counseling?

I watched the original interview and the article leaves out that all of this was said in a very light-hearted and facetious manner. He wasn’t seriously complaining about not being recognized. He was joking about it. I have fairly neutral opinions regarding Bacon but the article sort of misrepresents the interview.

As soon as I read he was a veteran, I knew that they would use PTSD as a defense. You just confirmed it.

Classic “I didn’t know I could get in trouble fot it” face

Those are just details... what really matters is that the kid probably was rude to someone at some point in his life and was aggressively retreating away from the officer towards a group of nuns/puppies. Probably.

The police officer’s parents are already in the media trying to spin him as a “good father” and a “family man”, never mind that he’s divorced and has two children born within 12 days of each other by two different women.

I think that someone willing to fire a rifle into a moving car is not likely to be feeling bad about killing a person, only that he experienced an unexpected consequence for it.

I wish his obvious remorse (he looks like he’s been crying) was for his victim instead of his own predicament.

Wait til their constituents find out they are not longer covered and that big bad scary Obamacare was literally saving their lives.

The House of Representatives—including a congressman who supposedly represents me—celebrated after passing a bill that condemns to death thousands ore more people with treatable illnesses.

What I think is so nice about it is that it’s still so uplifting, regardless of (or maybe made more impressive due to) the trauma.

they have their own magazine, apparently...

Goop, which sells pricey packs of supplements and other wellness-enhancing items on its website, relies heavily on the romanticization of the East for much of its advice—an approach that has been used “for a really long time” by plenty of other snake-oil salesmen.

I met someone who is “following” some sort of guru she learned about through Gwenyth Paltrow. She is the only person I’ve ever heard say something the effect that she “trusts anything Gwenyth Paltrow recommends.” I guess Paltrow featured this guy on her site or in a book or something. Anyway, this guru basically…
