Also: he probably didn’t have his ID on him while sitting in his yard. He probably would have to go inside to get it. Then he would walk back outside, wallet in hand. The police will see the wallet, scream, “He’s charging at us with a gun!” and shoot.

And when you think the number of zeroes on the number you sue for is excessive,  add another zero. 

F$@K YOU to all the people that whine “He should have just shown His ID” we do not live in a police state( yet) when a person is relaxing in their yard and anyone can just come up and say I want to see your ID. That is NOT acceptable! His children learned a lesson. And another Fu@k you to the people who dont…

Sue. Sue for so much that your children have their college paid for and you have a nice retirement. 

Okay this is for Bill.

I’m not a courtroom lawyer but I’m 99% sure cops don’t have the jurisdiction to make sure someone is a really a lawyer in court. That’s the court’s job and only the court’s job. The cop is there for security and to bring criminal defendants in and out of custody. This cop should 100% be fired but I’m sure he won’t be.

I’m sure this is not who she is.

Rich people: “Everything should be earned on merit! But legacy admissions are different because that impacts my family.”

I watched all 7.5 hours of the hearing. I proceeded to go home and again I watched the full 7.5 hours of the hearing. Of all the cringe worthy moments, this entire episode was the worst. It went from OH MY GOD YES!!!! to OMG NO!!!! faster than The Leafs are going to blow a 3rd period lead in game 7 against the Bruins…

I mean I know it just sounds crazy that a group of predominantly White men and women who are given almost completely unchecked authority, very little effective training, guns, and no significant consequences for bad behavior might act in ways that are not always in the best interests of black folks.

Really?.. May I ask what made you come to that farfetched conclusion?

I know this is probably hyperbole, and I may be overreacting to one small incident, but it sure seems to me that black folks don’t get treated fairly by the police.  

You’re going to have to draw me a map, because I tried drawing that parallelogram you were describing and it’s basically impossible not to hit the blackest parts of the country.

Y’all, keep in mind that the check was $1,000 for THREE WEEKS of pay. A nigga can’t even make over $300 a week without raising suspicion. 

The father of a friend of mine was a manager at an auto supplier in MI. He made serious money in the 80's. Same thing happened to him. He was doing a legitimate transaction and the bank acted funny about it. He withdrew ecery penny on the spot and took it to the small black owned bank literally across the street. He…

You think it pisses people off to know you spent $55 dollars for something worth 2 bucks and that warns them you’re trash?

No one gives a fuck why Germans supported Hitler. They give a fuck about all of the damage that Hitler and his Nazi party did with the support of the German people.

Does that mean they are irredeemable? That they are forever lost to those of us agitating for more justice, racial and otherwise? But it definitely means they have to do the kind of soul-searching they have yet to commit to.

This is gospel, all of it.
