I’m law enforcement adjacent so I see nearly on a daily basis what *some* police have to go through. Do they have it rough....sometimes....yes.

Jesus fucking Christ, any cop that cannot deal with a nine year old girl without violence really needs to stop being a cop. Also, fuck them all. Dear cops, DIAF.

While I normally count myself among those who say “no, don’t literally defund the police, we should just invest in stuff besides the police so they don’t have to get called”... it’s hard to argue with a literal reading of “defund the police” when it looks like half the department has come out in force to detain a 9

“I don’t see that as who we are as a department”

This is happening all over the country. New death records being set but yeah, let all go back to gathering in large groups because that’s working so well now. (looking at you selfish assholes who kept gathering in large groups this whole time)

Then let’s talk about hazard pay, Madam Mayor. You’re putting their lives on the line, let’s make sure they’re well taken care of and not hustling for pencils and PPE. Maybe help the kids with that stuff too since you’re so concerned about the wealth gap.

You know, most teachers don’t teach very well or can develop strong relationships with their students that can in turn help the teacher do more when they know that at any point they can be infected with something that if it doesn’t kill them or their families and friends or medically bankrupt them can fuck them and

Police unions. That's why. They've got way too much power.

and stripped of any pensions as well...

“It seems to me like they furnished them a house to live in. They furnished them clothes to put on their back. They furnished them food to put on their table and all they had to do was fucking work. And now we give ‘em all those things and don’t have to fucking work,” Allmond says.

White people, racist, in America? YOU DON'T SAY?!!!

The funny thing is - this is Louisiana! While racism is in the DNA, it is also the preeminent state for Black folk “passing” to get through society. I would bet if they took DNA samples from some of the buried, they would have a significant number of them with African DNA. White folks run from Ancestry.com like

I am so glad they buried their loved one elsewhere.

I adore Mother/Grandma Tyson. Had this been a meal, I’d have said, “You put your foot in this!” Thank you for this wonderful article. My heart is full.

Rest in Peaceful Power, Ms Tyson. You gave the world so much and we are so, so grateful. Thank you.

I’m down to the last of my 50 paper masks and I only have a few cloth ones. I’m sourcing some N95s or KN95s tonight. But I’m diligent with the hand sanitizer: I use it on my leather gloves as soon as I get in the car and swipe my keys with it before I close the car door too (and it’s single digit cold here). I swipe

Yep. I use KN95 masks when I go outside, which is every 2 weeks. I work at home. Ain’t playing with this. Haven’t seen family or friends in months. Only go to the doctor or the supermarket. Everything else, mail order.

From the same people who circlejerk endlessly over THE TROOPS but couldn't give a shit about individual soldiers and veterans? Surely you jest!

Years of Black Lives Matter protests and somehow we never managed to kill a single cop.

Blue Lives don’t matter to Blue Lives Matter.
