Wait—I thought you said that every time a white man commits a violent crime of any kind (anywhere everywhere, I assume, since this event didn’t even take place in the US) it is not only covered here, but there are a million think pieces about it as well. Was that not you?

Correct. It isn’t like that at all. Not in the least. Further, Jezebel does not cover every single single homicide in Western Europe. For some strange reason, a special case was made in this instance.

“known to police” can mean just about anything – either they have a non-violent criminal history, a violence criminal history, or they just ‘act suspicious’ sometimes. The police generally can’t arrest someone for a crime they haven’t committed yet.

Want the truth? Most of the time they are just beating, assaulting, raping, imprisoning, stalking and terrorizing their wives/girlfriends. The police could give a fuck, because hey, it’s just women. But domestic violence is also something you reliably find in the background of murderers/rapists/serial rapists/serial…

Sort of hate the title of this article.

He fooled someone enough to speak at one of Bush’s Washington Press Corps banquets...

Pretty obviously staged for his show. Still fun, though.

Possibly he had aid from a Never-Trumper?

I’ve had bunnies, and I wouldn’t get one for a child that small. They chew on everything. They have seriously nasty claws.

Same. My only really negative experience was actually with a black officer, though if he were white under the same circumstances I’m not sure I would have gotten off without being harmed. I also grew up in a middle class family without any experience trying to survive the hood. But that doesn’t stop me from feeling…

If you read Sanders piece you’d realize that someone making this point like you are is the reason we are caught in this situation. The line of the piece that stands out in that respect:

the inert virtue of tolerance is the most prominent inheritance of the British empire

So this week, by tomorrow, we’ll have one cop fired for posting a video, and zero cops fired for shooting black men in scenarios escalated solely by the police involved.

Listen up, other cops. All you who keep insisting you are one of the “good ones.” Now is the time to do exactly what this Officer did; put your money where your mouth is. Use this as a chance to push for change, to call out the behavior of those “bad cops” who you say are “giving the rest of you a bad name.” It’s time…

I saw this on the news this morning (I live outside of Cleveland). First thought was:

I really, really hope she doesn’t receive any professional penalties from this.

Americans pop off about shit in other countries all the time. We have debates with one-off questions about how to “solve” Syria. And someone who’s not American can’t express their opinion about the American Empire and its cultural hegemony? Because they might not be a PhD in American Self-Importance? Fuck outta…

While Americans are talking about ensuring that black Americans’ lives matter, they still are doing shit all about the massive American military violence killing brown and black people all over the world.

It’s adorable how you, a foreigner, have no idea of the realities of Blackness in America. Black people here are not at all making any decisions to come to your country and do anything. The idea that Black people are “all equally American occupiers” is laughable to anyone who acknowledges our history and current…

It’s adorable because all of you Americans missed her really good point.

i.e. While Americans are talking about ensuring that black Americans’ lives matter, they still are doing shit all about the massive American military violence killing brown and black people all over the world.

She’s too woke for you.

African-American…
