Kim, I won’t believe it unless Kameras Kaptured it. Sorry.

I grew up in rural Minnesota. Every single 14 year old dude I knew had a gun. Plenty of them were busy with harmless activities while also owning guns. hell, most of them considered the fact that they were teenagers who owned guns as evidence that they were good moral Christian Americans. The primary difference here

I don’t mean this rudely, but so what? My point still stands, which is that if he is even actually involved in criminal activity, he stands a good chance at rehabilitation. This train isn’t derailed. He can still grow up into a great person no matter what he allegedly did, provided our society deems him worthy enough

Demographic changes won’t make any difference in the way cops interact with the public. There needs to be a top down change in our entire conception of what it means to be a police officer. Compassion and guidance first, force as an absolute last resort.

No one’s as irrationally confident in their looks as fat white dudes. Like, they’re always the loudest critics of other people’s looks, particularly women’s.

“depicting cops arresting and pepper-spraying a 15-year-old girl in Maryland after she’d refused to go to the hospital after having a minor bike collision with a vehicle”

It is interesting in that he seems to identify the problem but decides the correct course of action is the one least likely to do something to remedy the problem.

Came here to post that! I am a professional musician and we are not allowed to speak, cough, step off the carpets, clear our throats--NOTHING behind the screen of an audition. And yes, the audition bias has improved, but you know what else still sucks? When you’re actually in the orchestra and the powers that be

So his entire article translates to men are stupid chauvinists who won’t hire women if they can help it so the best thing for women to do is erase and obscure your gender so that the menfolk will give you equal consideration? Also diversity but not really?

So how come cops always seems to shot and kill the black man without a weapon but the white guy who shot up an elementary school is taken into custody without incidence? Cops seems to inherently see black men as constant threats. I guess maybe they identify with angry white men so they feel more comfortable handling

If you actually read the article, part of the problem would be that the Baltimore prosecutors seem to be very inexperienced and unreliable. That is, the cops only arrest people, the D.A. has to convict them. Part of the crisis is lack of confidence in prosecutors for the reasons described in the article, if you read

There’s an incredibly high rate of incarceration for relatively minor crimes (especially drug possession, etc.). We need to decriminalize drug use and replace that with making treatment available, for starters. There’s lots of other crimes that are too harshly punished, as well. Rape is not one of them.

For commenters who’ve asked or are wondering, SB 813 / Justice For Victims Act is not retroactive, ETA will only apply to crimes committed after 1 January 2017.

Can anyone in CA report if there is a horrible odor wafting through the air?

We have detailed product knowledge that the bloggers don’t, and extensive training

I like when people write unlikeable characters, and I like that women are finally getting to play them. However, I struggle when you fill a whole book/show with them because then I just inevitably end up rooting for something terrible to happen to all of them because they’re all too horrible/unlikeable to root for as

Cheating: The New Negotiating

When really we are seeing that old hippies are sexist. Seriously, the far left has never been a huge proponent of women’s rights. They may love the environment and be anti-war, but the women still cook, clean and raise the babies on the commune....

Everybody thinks they’re so fucking special, that their personal brand of politics matters in an election. Hey dummies; the time to subvert the status quo is all other times, not the one day you have to make a decision between shifty but highly competent and world-ending level crazy. Seeing as how the majority of

Sadly, he had no idea what to do when he reached third base
