I think it’s less that people don’t know you have to hold it, and more that the super slow mo replay makes it seem like he held it long enough, even though he dropped it in the same second he made the tag

I don’t have a lot of trust for these officers, but I’m pretty sure what’s on the ground in the photo that widely circulated, and what was thrown on the ground, was a black rubber glove. You see that same officer putting gloves on that are black shortly after they arrive at the body, and it makes sense that they would…

You really don’t. I think it’s creepy that the other guy knew.

This stupid (smart) joke is why I come to Deadspin.

I really think it’s just better access to information. The world gets decreasingly violent and crazy each year, we just know about all of it now

Yeah -- where’s the constitutional right to not be transparent when working in government? If conservatives really cared about constitutional rights, they’d be up in arms every time a police union threatens not to work a football game because a few players spoke out against police... that’s a naked effort to chill…

that’s in the chapter about Duke Energy, his former employer that he keeps keeping out of trouble (by intervening in law suits to prevent them from facing consequences for poisoning drinking water, for instance).

Oh, c’mon, we know more than that about Trump’s finances. A lot of good people say he donated a whole bunch of money to NAMBLA as a charter member. At least that’s what I’m hearing.

Wait... who is she supposed to get killed by in order to make her point? You don’t make any sense.

If you have to tell people you’re a “foremost civil rights activist”, you’re doing it wrong.

No. They are chasing ratings. Just like with the stupid plane. And the OJ trial and the first Gulf War. For its entire history CNN has been chasing ratings by covering too much of something. They are far too shameless to have an agenda.

at least his tax returns don’t show that he donated to NAMBLA, like some people — good people — have been saying. I dunno, you tell me.

And anyplace I’ve ever lived has required fences around pools.

Yours is an entirely irrelevant point here. Trying to argue that suicide can be committed by other means so therefore we shouldn’t include suicide deaths in statistics related to gun deaths is stupid. Someone put that argument forth, in response to which it’s relevant for me to point out that guns are among the most…

but aren’t guns known to be more successful means of suicide than almost any other method?

I read it a while back, it’s worth swinging back for.

Is a 16 y.o. male with a 15 y.o. female statutory rape in Florida? Did you actually look that up? Because that’s not the case in most states.

It seems the issue is that these sites are targeted to people smarter than you. It’s okay.

Don’t worry, no one is doubting the longevity of A.C._Greens_Virginity.

Ironic that he supports serial bankruptcy specialist Trump then, isn’t it? Guy who made a big chunk of his fortune by screwing all sorts of investors and vendors in bankruptcy.
