Police union membership dues buys you a license to kill.

“a couple Legos short of a Lego City model set”? I would say at least a few city blocks, if not entire neighbourhoods or boroughs.

Hahaha, the Cult 45 Pissmaker! Good reference to the Colt 45.

OMG!

Which Jesus? The white, blue-eyed, blonde incel of European fairy tales or the most-likely-if-there-was-such-a-historical-figure Judean - dark skin, dark eyes, dark hair?

How did this racist Flood survive decades in a public school? Is his racism recently newborn, has he managed to never display it so far or, more likely, he had expressed his racism before in jokes to his “boys” and no one who has been a member of the all white baseball team has been anti racist enough to complain…

Read the article. They already know the bullet was not from Thompson’s gun. This is the usual "armed and dangerous while carrying a wallet" BS.

How come the cops in civilized countries know how to de-escalate armed conflict? How come the even in the most racist other white countries the state sponsored rate of extra judicial killings of Black people is one tenth that in the US? How come even in the US these mf cops manage to de-escalate grown ass militarily…

It is too infuriating for my mind to take, so like others I’m going to off on avocados. Only white people would think avocados have taste.

“A driver hit and injured protesters and wasn’t charged with a crime, and in response to ...” the fearful passengers cowering in the vehicle ... Oh Rebpulicnas make me sick. Can we throw Oklahoma back into the sea?

Good for Officer Horne. I wish there had been punitive damages enough to shut down the Buffalo PD.

Oh, I don’t know. I went to grad school in Syracuse for 6 years and lived in an inner suburb of Buffalo for 8: Western NY wins the racism Olympics hands down. Western NY also has double bonus Racist Rochester (Remember Daniel Prude and the PD that pepper sprays 9 year old kids).

Buffalo is one of the most racially segregated (read, racist) cities in the US, in one of the most racist counties. When we moved there the realtor slipped us a map from a Buffalo News article which ranked the 98 Western NY school districts. #1-6 were the lily-white sidewalk-less suburban school districts ringing the…

So she Kareened through the traffic cones?

I love The Root. If you are moving to become the EIC at HuffPo, I will restart reading it, after a hiatus of 5 years.

Wait, wasn’t Letitia Wright as Shuri going to be the next Black Panther?
