I never asked for a no-knock warrant. Never saw the need but always saw the immediate danger to myself and others. No knock warrants are dangerous. No knock warrants are necessary in the most extreme circumstances, i.e. the someone’s life is in imminent danger. Flushing drugs is not a reason for a no knock warrant.

If you are referring to yourself and the ‘o’ or ‘a’ don’t describe you, then use the ‘x’ or whatever you like.  It is a grammar issue for me, that’s all. If one says, “Please refer to me as Latinx”  I will certainly do so.  On that same note, please don’t refer to me as Latinx.  I have a problem with the word…

I don’t know if you are being facetious or not, but the testing for officers is remedial and HS level. Internally, there may be some in agencies that do not want those that possess advanced degrees because stupid.

I am still trying to learn how to pronounce latinx. (And no I won’t capitalize because fuck that word). As far as black and white, I guess it depends upon their use. Would you type “Black Italian” or “black Italian”? The first seems to designate a distinction that in our racist world would result in thinking that a…

And fuck Shawn King too...

And fuck Van Jones... 

I repeat: There will never be police reform until we as an organization realize that we do not vet, we do not test, we do not have standards. We have way too many police agencies (every little burg has one). We look for all the wrong things in a candidate. We do it all wrong.

None of this is surprising. Drew Brees is showing us who he is. He is a fair representation of the jingoist, authoritarian, military-loving society that this country has thrived upon since its creation. America showed signs of fascism before Mussolini made it a thing. The American and Sedition Act (Adams), the…

I think we are all tired.

You would think we are back in the 1950's again. I wonder what it will take for revolution and change when the late stages of capitalism come to fruition and everyone not part of the game suffers. Who will really survive? Black and Latino culture know how to survive.

I grew up hearing all the shit on Trump in the 80's.  My family, family of friends, teachers, cops, and every sane human being in the tri-state ran that fuckers name into the ground.  I still cannot believe he is the fucking president.  

Nothing new here nothing to see... Same old song and dance to justify their shit.

No one is thinking of the long term ramifications of this asshole’s presidency. He has broken every rule and ignored the Constitution. He has broken every precedent. Whoever comes after him (Biden hopefully, but who the fuck knows) will have the unpleasant job of rebuilding the damn office, rebuilding goodwill to the…

In the beginning, I was outraged that America voted for a man (Trump) that was dragged and raked by everyone one I knew while growing up (Jersey City & Canarsie).  Now I am embarrassed.  I have said many times on this site that the Southern Strategy has worked.  We are a dumber America because of it.  

I live at the tip in Brownsville. There are people out here without masks, going to South Padre Island, and generally ignoring the fact that Covid is still here. I crossed over to Matamoros, Mexico the other day. It’s a ghost town. Grocery stores, hospitals, and pharmacies only. You cannot even buy alcohol (the main…

If you are paying attention, you should be scared. You have a man in the Oval Office running the government like organized crime. Yeah, it may be a grift in Trump’s eyes; he sees nothing but dollar signs, fake adoration, and power. That is what gets him up and off in the morning. The fear comes from those that are…

When and where was it stated that he broke into someone’s home? The man was jogging. They assumed that he was an individual that was on the property of an unbuilt home.

Unless the other person has a firearm or other weapon (and according to the article, Mr. Arbery had none) then those two were not violently attacked. They were attacking. You have a firearm; you are the aggressor. You are chasing someone that is jogging. I repeat you are the aggressor. If you are the aggressor; then…

I see. Not like these schools are concerned about student athletes; so, why would they leave. There is no financial incentive for them to leave. It’s of a mutual benefit. The students are fucked.

Can someone explain to me the hold the NCAA has over these colleges.  Is there a legal statute that governs this process.  Is it a general agreement between the schools?  I mean, what would happen if these schools said, “Nah, I’m out” and go independent?  I am so ignorant on this process.
