If this project is well built and runs then $27k is a great price.

I heard about this happening to a friend of a friend after the sale of his 69 Z/28 Camaro. Pulled over for speeding on the way home and the cash was confiscated because of " drug residue " on the money that keyed up the drug dog. Funny thing is the guy is a devout member of the LDS Church and clean as a whistle! He…

I'm a white guy. As a kid, I was stopped and frisked by the police under suspicion that I had a weapon on me (I lived in an upper-middle class suburb of Cleveland). My D.A.R.E officer smoked cigarettes. I was cited 3 weeks before my 21st birthday for "possession of alcohol" when a friend who was 21 handed me an…

2007: $2.6 billion

So can someone please explain to me how the Police are nothing more than the largest street gang? They use threats of violence to force people to do what they want or to take their property.

I'm a graduate student and this issue is one of the reasons why I have chosen to do all of my classes online.

BRILLIANT. That image is pure brilliance. Every sponsor has to get the DV meme treatment. Money is the only organ where the NFL and its sponsors feel pain.

sadly, it would be cheaper for them to replace their police-car fleet with MRAPs than buying new police cars.

Depends on the state and the situation. They were in California and CA has some pretty good statutes protecting people from being forced to identify oneself. The onus is on the police to prove they have reasonable suspicion in CA.

I believe there was a CA court case about it where the judge ruled that being able to ask…

Agreed that they might have had reason to ask for the IDs when they first arrived, but they asked for the man's- he produced it and explained they were married, he was not cuffed or put in a squad car. So at that point they either believed him and both should have been free to go, or they thought he was lying and the…

There's some idiots over at Gawker trying to defend the cops, but they're getting their asses handed to them hard. :)

Even if she had shown her ID, they still probably wouldn't have believed her/put her in handcuffs.

I don't think we're regressing. I think it has always been this bad, and was even worse in the past. The difference is that in 2014, incidents like this blow up on the internet. This isn't a top story in traditional news outlets, and never would have been in the past, but blogs and social media mean this incident will…

Seriously, all the folks who think that the issue stems from Watts' refusal to give her ID rather than the police officers accusing a black woman of "criminal" activity because she dared to be romantic in public can fuck off.

It doesn't feel like regressing to me, because this shit has been going on for well over a century. It's just that social media makes it easier to document now.

Add it to the list of things I have to worry about doing as a black female:

Happened to me in NYC. The only thing that shut down the questioning was the fact that they suddenly noticed that I was carrying a massive fucking bag with my laptop and about 4 books (seems an inconvenient thing to carry around while working). A massive bag that it took 10 minutes (or what felt like 10 minutes) to…

As awful as it is, this is probably progress. More people are becoming aware of something that they weren't aware of before. This harassment of POC is nothing new.

Beyond infuriating and the picture is just utterly heartbreaking. I can't imagine the anger and shame she felt and it makes me sick to my stomach. We should be past this degrading, racist shit as a country and as a civilization. I know the calendar says it's 2014 but lately it feels like 1814 instead.

Unfuckingbelievable. That photo is heartbreaking. Why does it feel like we are regressing on race relations?
