I am chastised and ashamed.

That’s who these people are. It’s like the Kern County Sheriff (proud holders of highest police murder rate in the country) telling his deputies it’s better to kill someone than to shoot them and have them survive, because if they die the county only has to pay the family once instead of being on the hook for medical…

Oh yeah. Is that why Kalief Browder was at Rikers for 3 years without a hearing? because he refused to follow a judge’s order?

Not because delaying trial indefinitely is a shitty tactic the court uses to force guilty plea out of someone?

Damn, good thing you’re here to whitesplain this shit.

Buddy, these defendants are not going to turn out to be rich dirtbags. They’re going to be poor, probably poc, who have been screwed by an incompetent and underfunded public defender system.

But if he has to keep feeding them, how will he ever afford his beach house?

“they want [deadly force] to be something you can do if you feel like it.”

That is utterly terrifying, and precisely true.

Yep. David Simon showed this with The Wire. People who think they’re going to “change the system from within” are kidding themselves. The system resists reform attempts.

Van is definitely biracial, but she also fees more like a caricature than a real person (and she’s gotten worse). Pretty much all of her episodes have been about her functioning as an accessory to Earn or being affected by something he’s done. Just because they commented on it doesn’t mean they’ve fixed it. (The one…

Her work looks decent. I could go as far as to say some of it looks really good. But it will be a cold day in hell before I let Rachel Dolezal put her hands in my hair

It’s all to reinforce that same narrative, but it’s supposed to be invisible to all of us; we’re not meant to see how that imagery is manipulated.

Oh, trust, they’re protecting and serving their community. And when you get to use your weapon with impunity, it’s one of the safest jobs.

That’s ok, I heard @bluelivesmtr is run by a black guy in Nigeria who’s getting rich selling desecrated American flags back to Americans.

Getting more black people in the PD won’t help. The system itself is corrupt. The policies are racist and the culture is that lives of police are worth more than the people they should be protecting. Pick a story about an cop who tries to buck the system. The system always fights back and eliminates the problem.

Any…

These fools don’t understand that use of deadly force should always be the last resort. Their resistance is just further evidence of that: they want it to be something you can do if you feel like it, since that’s where the current law sits. This really reminds me of that thing that’s been said about equality:“When…

Donald Glover doesn’t black women so, luck with that.

It wasn’t just that; it was also intended to reinforce a specific narrative. They weren’t going to give Denzel a Best Actor Oscar for portraying a revolutionary hero of color; he was going to get it for being a corrupted thug who died. Just like he got his first Best Supporting Oscar for being a slave who died, and…

Ha ha ha. I know, I know. I respect the Queen.. she’s just not my thing. I never bad talk her cuz, talent and all that. Just not for me.

“What black thing do you not partake in?”

I think if you look up the word trifling in the dictionary, you would see a picture of Bibby.

This comment makes me think of every white basketball player at Dook; they slap the floor and clap their hands and folks fall all over themselves.
