Excellent Quote from an MSN Article:

Rubber bullets can kill too. It's a projectile and depending on the range and where it hits, the damage can be fatal. Guns with blanks can kill too. What is your fucking point?

There are plenty of despicable statements coming from the police though.

Real rioters will cause damage, protesters will make a little noise and ask for justice. A fairly significant difference.

Rubber bullets will kill you too: http://news.discovery.com/tech/can-rubbe…

Rubber bullets can kill too. They are less lethal not non lethal. And a launched gas grenade to the head will kill you as quick as a baseball bat or billyclub.

Yes, I'm sorry, that's such a misleading headline because as we all know, the police just gently toss the rubber bullets at you then don't ACTUALLY FIRE THEM OUT OF GUNS. FFS.

Hands down, the most vile and despicable thing that I've seen on Twitter today.

So let me get this straight: law enforcement doesn't dare fight Clive Bundy and his thugs, but unarmed protesters and journalists get the full armed brigade treatment.

The astounding realization that the FPD trying to kick out the media has resulted in this massive barrage of photos, videos, tweets, posts, stories, etc. is so amazing to me. What are you thinking, FPD? The only thing I could think is that these are a bunch of old, clueless people who don't really understand the…

It's the citizens of Ferguson who are desperately attempting to get the world to see this bullshit who deserve kudos and lots more. They are facing threats of death, literally, for simply holding up cameras or tweeting or posting messages on forums.

"We've done everything we can to demonstrate a remarkable amount of restraint."

99% of my Twitter feed is talking about this. It's incredible what's happening. I am beyond words. The pictures are especially telling. The tear gas smoke, the guns trained on protesters. I wish I could post one, it's of two protesters with their backs turned that have red sniper rifle dots on their backs. (Edit -…

It's fun to subpoena the YMCA

I wanted to laugh at Jonathan Saenz getting his comeuppance, but the poor kids cancel out the humor. Hopefully they will have two caring moms tipping the balance away from one thick-skulled dad.

While my wife was pregnant with our son she faced some female academics who thought she'd never be able to finish her PhD. She'll be graduating in the next year.

YEP. I'm finishing a PhD and our advisers tell us ladies straight out that if we ever expect tenure, we can't have a kid. As someone nearing 30, I am so painfully aware that my child-bearing years, before genetic anomalies start appearing around 35, are disappearing and that when I finally do get a job, I'll have to…

The last place I worked, the top sales rep was a woman. She took some maternity leave, as you do, after several years at the company and after earning the company literally tens of millions of dollars. While she was gone, management audibly bitched and moaned about how awful she was for "abandoning" them (for three…
