“Calling the police is the epitome of escalation, and calling the police on black people for noncrimes is a step away from asking for a tax-funded beatdown, if not an execution.”

Because he fucking wanted to? What more reason than that does he need?

I’m glad you saw that too.

He is very oddly shaped. I would not be surprised to learn that he is an alien.

Respect due, Captain Dickson, you fought the good fight, died a true American hero

That is the laugh of a kid who knows the system is fucked, knows he’s getting locked up for no reason, and knows the actual cop who committed the actual murder got off free.

Homosexuality is an innate trait, not a learned behavior or environmental imposition. It is also not a 100%/0% thing, everything has scales of strength when it comes to the human condition. Forcing anyone to be “one” or “the other” is going to be traumatic for the person experiencing it.

Same here! I grew up in the hood, but when I tell people I’ve had a calm, and rather sheltered, and middle class lifestyle, they give me all kinds of disbelieving looks. My mom might have been poor but all 10 of her sisters and brothers were middle class, so I grew up middle class kinda by osmosis. I was supported and…

I hear you. I grew up in the projects in the Bronx and people swear I grew up in the suburbs just because of some arbitrary ideas they have on the behavior people from the projects are meant to display. I was called “white sounding” or “oreo” exactly two times in my life by someone from the hood and trust that person…

When I saw this the first time around on Monday, I only had one sentiment:

Taking things right out of the Medellin playbook. Help the poor, since the government won’t, and they won’t snitch.

It must be cases like this, where a judge has to channel King Solomon.

Definitely compelled to see this now.

I love Michelle’s portrait...the pose, the dress, the way everything pops off that blue background. It’s excellent, and I feel like it catches her energy so well. I just wish the face looked a little more recognizably like her.

Thank you! But contrarians have to contrary. Pretty sure Damon sat at home agonizing over what angle to take on this and came up with this flaccidity...you know, because he damn near went pro and all. The mother was completely out of line. The son’s subsequent statement that his mom was just kidding smacks of damage…

Stop bringing race into this. She acted an ass and was properly criticized for it. End of story.  

If people don’t want it, that’s fine, but this shit needs to stop:

Yes, I can’t wrap my head around how it would feel to have your life snatched away by injustice, incompetence and racist undercurrents. I might go insane.
