That show did not receive enough attention. It was amazing.

The way salaries are kept opaque makes it so difficult to be paid fairly. This is a gender problem, but it’s also a problem that affects all workers. Wages have stayed flat across the board for a reason.

Ted Cruz also predicted a Ted Cruz presidency, so let’s not get too worked up just yet.

“Donald Trump makes Mexicans not important to people who are in Arkansas who like Mexicans, like me and my grandma and all my family,” Toby Smith, age 7, told Cotton to loud cheers from the packed auditorium. “And he’s deleting all the parks and PBS kids just to make a wall. He shouldn’t do that. He shouldn’t.”

This is fucking adorable.

Embarrassing but true story, made less so by the fact that I was on much, many pain killers. Keanu and I both had spinal surgeries on the same day. I sent him a note asking if he wanted to neck.

I didn’t even know that I had such a deep crush on Keanu Reeves until I read that interview. Now I’m off to put my first name with his last name all over my notebook!

Come the fuck on. This is a grown man starting a physical altercation with a junior high student. Are you even serious?? And from what they are saying, he was also calling a young girl a cunt. All for going to far into his driveway while walking on the sidewalk home from school???

Yeah, if only minorities would bow and scrape to white men in deference and abject acquiesce of the social ladder — even when said white men are acting like violent shitheads then everything would be hunky dory, amirite??? GTFOOHWTBH.

I can’t help but roll my eyes at the OP prefacing the comment with mentioning being Latino, like that would somehow make it a-okay to place some blame on these kids.

As an American of Mexican heritage who’s lived in LA, I didn’t see the kids as being disrespectful. They were careful, scared and doing exactly what they should’ve done-getting involved with recording this incident and following their friend to make sure they witnessed him walk away with his life.

And just get the hell over his damn lawn, yeah? I mean, it’s grass that, if you live in California, you shouldn’t even have anyway.

Absolutely. He’s a grown up. He’s a trained professional. This did not need to escalate. In fact, the moment the kid said “hey don’t talk to that girl like that!” all he had to fucking do is roll his eyes and go back in his house. His wannabe alpha macho ego is what made him lunge at the kid.

Ex cop here.

These are kids, for crying out loud. KIDS. He, as a fucking police officer who has had significant training for these types of situations, should know how to handle it without having to pull out his gun and shoot it. It was not the child’s responsibility to de-escalate shit.

If I ever saw a random man holding a child like that I would assume that he would be going to prison for assaulting a minor.

Or if the kids had been white. We’ve been working hard to change our social norms and now is the time to raise hell about our desired norms being broken. They need to be told a thousand times over that this shit is UNACCEPTABLE.

Watch the video. This is some racist fucking bullshit. He needs to be arrested...now.
