I think the odds of Prince getting shot on stage because a cop thought his microphone was a real gun were pretty slim.

(As an aside. I kinda want to know who on earth came up with the gun shaped phone case and why? And why would anyone carry one? It seems like a good way to draw all the wrong kind of attention. Possibly even get a person killed.) 

What the owners came up with was:

I stopped following football way back when Aikman retired, so I probably have this wrong. But wasn’t the purpose of the players having a collective bargaining agreement, to prevent the owners from pulling bullshit like this “No Kneeling” shit rule? Again, I’m not an NFL follower anymore, so it’s possible I’m mistaken.

Yep. My wife decided to try to connect again with her racist mother. We met at a hibachi around christmas two or so years ago and even though we said no gifts (because what do you buy the racist that is poor and has nothing?) she bought us each a gift, and mine was a pair of those stupid sunglasses. I am not entirely…

As I have said and written and yelled about from every outlet known to man. People making false calls to police for harassment should be ticketed and fined. It’s in the law. Filing a false report is a crime. This doesn’t require re-inventing the wheel, and I promise any city council person or mayor who runs with a…

Her day off was for policing. But her racism is a full time job. 

I think the everyday average Joe doesnt realize how hard it is to actually fight until you find yourself outside the ring.

I forgot to include his full name. It’s Officer James Hunt. Badge #11442. I did a search with the city of Chicago on their web portal. Came up with one FOI search.

That’s exactly what happened to me. I wanted to be a cop for as long as I can remember growing up. My neighbors would buy me police-themed Christmas tree ornaments every year because it was all I talked about, I watched every cops-style reality show I could find, every “most exciting police chases” video, I went on a…

Also interesting that he goes out of his way to avoid condemning white nationalists, nazi’s, etc. Not that his words mean anything, because the tats say all that need to be said about what this guy is and what he stands for.

Neither one of us are racists, we have an Asian & a Italian guy that work with us! Oh my gosh guys it’s a tattoo Comrade von Ribbentrop got when he was in prison for that little putsch at the beer hall, get over yourselves. He covers them up all the time & we happen to have a negotiation day at the lake and it makes…

Except you are woefully wrong. Most tat places will cover gang tats for FREE. They let the apprentices do it. My tat person charges $150-200 an hour, and sets aside time every week to cover gang and prison tats for free.

Guy with Nazi tattoos apologizes to: wife, brother, employers, MMA fans, elite pro fighters, sponsors, etc., and points out his charity work for inmates, church-goers, physically challenged people, and youths.

He stopped being a bigot, but he kept the swastikas to remind himself. Of what it’s like to be a bigot. In case he needs to remember that, for example if he meets a black person.

Yep. Tattoo removal is too common now and covering up bad old tattoos is even easier. Change it to your wife’s name, throw up an inspirational quote or just go with some new design.

I played in a band with a white guy who had a fully black forearm - a tattoo that literally inked his whole arm from wrist to elbow, 360 degrees. I never asked... but I know that must be covering up some shit the dude wasn’t about anymore. I think that is the preferred method, not leaving it and saying, “Deal with it,…

Are we even going to feign surprise that a guy with multiple nazi tattoos got hired as a Louisiana police officer?

“My whiteness got me hired, but then my professional incompetence and personal behavior got me fired” certainly has a different ring to it, doesn’t it?!?

““I think there were a number of factors into laying me off,””
