The most effective solution to this problem is, sadly, one that is deeply unpopular on both sides: pay police officers better. With better pay, better qualified applicants will be attracted to the occupation. We could get more officers with degrees. Officers with bad histories wouldn’t just get rehired in the next…

As much as I hate to ever justify anything the ochre blob does, presidents can and do endorse other candidates for office. Presidents of both parties have done it basically forever. You may recall Obama’s endorsement of Clinton last year.

He will lose, and lose badly. It’s a red district. Voters in these districts will forgive anything to vote Republican, up to and including recorded violent assaults on reporters. This guy has zero chance.

We’ll stop insulting them with our oh-so hurtful words when they stop actively persecuting us. Fair deal?

The world is not the right place for your bigotry. I wish you would leave your business outside of this planet.

He will never be convicted. In America, money and fame can buy you out of the consequences for any crime.

What she needs is to be locked up where she can’t hurt anyone else.

Unfortunately, it’s equally likely that there are one or two holdouts pushing for a guilty verdict while everyone else is fully committed to acquitting him.

Did they provide any hints on a release date?

He is too wealthy and famous to go to jail in America. He will never be convicted. This is the Michael Jackson trial all over again.

Was anything regarding a release day on this even hinted at? 2018?

If the evidence presented against MJ was brought against any random nobody, they’d have been convicted. He was a serial child molester.

For a random nobody, it would be. Not for someone as rich and famous as Cosby, though. He’s going to walk.

He’s going to be found not guilty. He’s too rich and famous to be convicted. The rich and famous don’t go to prison in America. See OJ and Michael Jackson.

It is now. That’s the scariest part of all this. It’s normal now.

That’s why I added the “while in prison” qualifier. Unless we’re talking about life sentences, removal is an inherently temporary benefit.

Hey, I liked Plok. It was bizarre, in a good way.

Criminal punishment is supposed to serve two purposes: rehabilitation and removal (from society). Our system is terrible at rehabilitation, but the removal part works pretty well. Incarcerated criminals rarely commit crimes against non-prisoners while in prison. The idea is to protect others from them for the duration…
