There is so much noise (instead of sound) that surrounds this case. It makes me wonder if Jussie may have wanted to cover up a domestic altercation / abuse situation. When Jussie was hospitalized, he had injuries to his face and a broken rib. Many of us who have been abused have been tempted to concoct a story to…

Thank you. This is my town. Police accountability is the work we have done for many years, which JoAnn and others have led tirelessly, fiercely and strategically through many, many tragedies.

for those struggling to define “cultural appropriation,” this seems a helpful example to ponder.

...exactly.  Which makes every single one of them who did not insist on taking this down complicit in leaving it up. If they truly “investigated” this, they’d find everyone employed there to be guilty.  And until this kind of thing is broadly disciplined, it will continue with the same frequency (i.e., daily,…
