So we need to mention, in the story of police in Minnesota killing a quiet, nerdy cafeteria worker, that some nutjob in Dallas shot cops? Mmm-kay.

And the killers and shooters of these cops, if found, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law - and will most likely be convicted. The same cannot be said when the killer is a cop. And these cops will not have their pasts searched for something to show that “they were no angels.” What makes cops killing…

It’s funny that you mention the media denying them attention as you bemoan the lack of coverage on another topic entirely. You are part of the problem.

Hi hi!

You “had” to find out about breaking news from a major international news agency? I’m sorry, I think your outrageometer is broken.

A couple of people have pointed out to you that Gawker is covering it now; I always find it helpful to check several sites — including the back pages, which have scooped the MP more than once — before coming to the conclusion that there is “no coverage” of a given event.

Cops started this war. If they don’t want to die maybe they shouldn’t kill Black people for no fucking reason. Maybe they should show up and renounce these events. Maybe they should fucking try to understand the communities they’re supposed to protect instead of suppressing them by literally killing them off.

The difference is the killers of those police officers will be convicted.

I mean, right. He was basically making a joke, which I realize in retrospect wasn't clear at all.

Did that response sound clever when you were thinking of it?

This piece was pretty annoying. I’m a female and I enjoyed the episode, as well as the previous two. Please don’t use Jezebel as a podium to whine about things you don’t understand due to lack of interest. My unsolicited advice: If you don’t care, don’t write about it.

“In cases where innocent individuals are shot by police officers”

Just no. Yes, police is super violent in this country, and the country in general is a bit paranoid. But Black people suffer from systematic violence and oppression, and this is clear in the way they are policed. So none of that now.

The department’s spokesperson Cpl. L’Jean McKneelytold The Advocate that officers were usually given “a day or so to go home and think about it” before being interviewed.

“Why didn’t you post sooner??”

Manager account spotted.

You’ve been very lucky with your bosses if this doesn’t ring true to you.

This is not about politics. This is about equal consequences for racist behavior. If this was an Asian, Mexican, Caucasian or whoever saying the same exact words as Jesse Williams did, I would be against it and petitioned them to be fired if they did not suffer the same consequences as others have suffered for their…

I too have a feminist cat.

I’ve thought about this and realized that it can be both. I believe he thinks his daughter is an exceptional woman (and not just the whole “if she wasn’t my daughter I’d...” bit of effluvia). I believe he encouraged her. Because she’s his. And that alone makes her exceptional by virtue of those yugely great genes. But…
