They are, like, Apex Examples of people whom the term “white fragility” was created to describe.

It happens all the time with people who are intellectually disinterested but want to sound smarter than they are, not just cops. I knew the head of an agency once who was like this - she wanted to sound like she knew all the cutting edge buzzwords, but she didn’t understand them and couldn’t be bothered to learn. So…

Makes it a better metaphor. Bad cops go after vulnerable white people, too, just ask the poor, mentally, ill or queer people.

It’s a very cop thing to do.

I think I’m also kind of stunned that this went down during transgender awareness training. If these yokels couldn’t handle a little parsing of garden-variety racism or sexism with any kind of empathy or analytical skill, I can’t imagine how the department thought their lead topic training was going to go.

He stated that many good cops are “afraid” to be speak up b/c they will lose their jobs and the ability to provide for their families.

“I started my own business with a small loan of a million dollars.

Easy, that’s what you give a person who’s been poisoned!

“I racially and sexistly slurred”

I have no trouble believing that this guy also talks like this.

Ooh Lawd, I was in a “lively debate” with a friend of a relative-in-law. He’s a cop. He, bravely albeit naively, decided to defend his “brothers in blue” to some relatives. I told him that if “Dale the Good Cop” chooses to ignore the indescretions of bad cops, then Dale isn’t a good cop. He stated that many good cops…

What does “anecdotal” really mean anyway?

I personally have never met a slave, therefore slavery doesn’t exist and never did.

“Most people that I know have never accused the police of violence. So I guess I don’t get where that statistic comes from.”

Let’s be honest, does anyone actually expect Moore to lose?

Ugh I HATE HIM. And I half hate myself for the fact that he got under my skin the same way my little brother used to; by being a sore fucking “winner” and never shutting his goddamn mouth.

I miss the days when ‘unprecedented’ could mean something good. Now it’s always followed by how our government is ramping up speed on the race to the bottom.

It’s weird to think how insane the phrase ‘President Trump tweets support to pedophile cowboy’ would have sounded not so long ago. How far we’ve come...

The culmination of 50+ years of racism and failed economic policies, and the GOP can be easily summed up as: boastful rapist endorses credibly-accused child molester.
