Please do not let the trash trolls out of the greys even if you think you have the wittiest retort in the history of wit.

Thank you. This is my town. Police accountability is the work we have done for many years, which JoAnn and others have led tirelessly, fiercely and strategically through many, many tragedies.

She’s so great. Sadly her erudition and empathy will go flying over hardcore right wingers, but it’s still great to hear her speak the truth. I hate Trump, but Pence is worse. Trump is a narcissist who is easily manipulated. Pence uses religion as a battering ram to deny the people who don’t share his beliefs their…

Right on, Ellen P. STFU, Ellen D.

Mike Pence is a backwards asswipe in a JC Penney suit.

Her pain was painful to watch. She’s absolutely right and the facts of violence against LGBTQ or any minority group member is still rising. I know that ignorance and particularly the ignorant practice of religion play into this but I still just don’t get it.  Same for the so-called “right to life” single issue…

I’m an old white chick who hasn’t left the house in a while, and even I know the kids don’t say that anymore. :)

Schrodinger’s Douchebag. Say something “edgy” (read:offensive), and if people don’t react the way you expect, claim it’s just a joke.

This shitheel troll showed up earlier this week. He’s also hijacked a legit guy’s user name. Good on you for not letting him out.

Speaker Nancy P is a Baltimorian too :-)

First off Michael Harriot, you bring me life every time you write.

‘Let’s go to arbitration. Let’s fight the good fight because even if we lose it, we send a very strong message that this is just not acceptable. That you don’t get to sit in roll call and make racist comments and you don’t get a payday on top of your city-paid retirement.’

Yes. Because it means the city didnt just reward a racist fuck, but the qwhite likely white jury pool decided to do so. Then that’s on them (the citizens who are represented by the jury) to pay for it, as they would anyway if the police just rolled over.
But having him just get paid for being a racist fuck. No. No in…

Well, as an Oregonian, ya gotta remember, technically black folk weren’t even allowed to live in the state longer than a year. I mean you could but a public flogging was involved.

I mean, Portland plays the progressive game pretty well but as a white dude, it often seems like it’s more just virtue signaling than…

even though Hearst himself testified that he did not see a gun before he fired...

Wow! That’s some serious white fragility on display there. I’m surprised it hasn’t devolved into froth-mouthed yelling of racial slurs.

Get it on the record! Always a disinfecting move.

Lewis defended himself by saying it was unfortunate that his comment about shooting black people “is being colored as a racial thing.”

“Hardesty simply read every officer’s account of Lewis’ racist joke.”
