So what, he’ll go to the next town over and get hired there. Charge them, arrest them, and try them before a jury of people who didn’t hire them to do exactly what they did.

In his letter, Police Chief Robert Schroeder said Hankison “displayed an extreme indifference to the value of human life when you wantonly and blindly fired ten (10) rounds into the apartment of Breonna Taylor,” and that Hankison shot Taylor without confirming she was a threat to his life (which she wasn’t, as she was…

What about the people who authorized this raid? The man they wanted was already in custody.  How many people signed off on this? Every single one should be fired, and while I'd love to see charges, I'm not sure if there are specific charges prosecutors could bring. This is a complicated situation because a lot more…

This is bare ass minimum and the amount of time it’s taken is a slap in the face to her family.

“Why they continue targeting service workers who aren’t even paid a living wage to do this eludes me.”

Traditional pencils would actually be really problematic in space - you don’t want anything wooden that could catch fire, and graphite dust conducts electricity, which is also a definite faux-pas. Early space flights used mechanical pencils, but small broken pieces or graphite dust can float around and get into the…

I’d give anything to have seen her response and/or expression. NASA: the organization that spent millions to invent an ink pen that works in space. (The Russians just used a pencil)

I have a “friend” who did just that. I had a thread talking about the police, and in he comes with some bullshit “but what about black on black crime? Eleventy billion people murdered in Chicago last week!” When I asked him what did any of that to do with police accountability, he lost his mind, and accused me of…

Do you even get handed the credit card to swipe? Even before social distancing, every coffee place including Starbucks I’ve ever been to has a thing where you put the card in the reader yourself. I’m not sure the cashier could see the logo on your card without craning way the hell over and looking.

People got so mad at me when I replied to this story by asking if we were certain the police weren’t lying like every other time someone supposedly victimizes the police. Suffice it to say, if you try to rub their face in this, they’ll complain about pettiness or something and try to change the subject before they…

Yeah, that’s a hilarious addition to me because the Shake Shake thing was immediately called out as people realized it was impossible to determine the customers were cops in advance, so the payment method was mentioned here early on to head that off at the pass.

It’s bullshit, of course, but that won’t stop cops from…

In my experience you don’t hand your card over to people at Starbucks anymore (including Target locations) you swipe it yourself. So that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense either unless he was dancing around and flashing his card in their face. 

So many things wrong here. 1) From the moment of ordering to completion the person who took the order and payment would have had to somehow indicate to the person making drinks that it was for a cop. Depending on how busy they are that’s not something that’s going to happen. That being said, 2) Kiosks are normally not…

Breaking: Police officers in NYC that claimed Shake Shack employees tried to poison them never actually got sick.

Uhh... don’t think we’ve ever supported a statue honoring having your ass hanging out of your pants.  So I fail to see the connection she was trying to draw.

Almost - it is false equivalence in support of willful ignorance about race in America and its impact, especially on people of color.

Christ. I have a “friend” who posted some meme asking why people are offended by Confederate statues but not people who wear their pants low. A picture of a black man with his underwear showing was juxtaposed against a picture of some statue.

This is sad...and it makes me happy.

This is what I was waiting for — Trump’s distraction from his failed Tulsa rally. So sad.
