This, I guess, is the next issue of The Atlantic, a fancy magazine for men who aspire to be on panels.

Let me make my point clearer: Would you prefer if I called you a sympathizer or a collaborator? ‘Cause this is Nazi-level bullshit and you’re being a pedant.

But again, “priority” in the memo clearly does not mean “Do these ones first”.

It keeps the unspoken promise to protect white American children from dirty foreigners.

And remember, every dollar and man hour spent deporting a mother of 4 with no criminal history or someone who called the police for help is a dollar and man hour not spent on one of the “bad hombres.”

Sorry, but I still laugh at this:

Wait... fired? Not suspended without pay? Fired?

Wait, are you saying it’s possible to fire cops?! Somebody should let Milwaukee know. It seems like every story about police misconduct there ends with “the citizen review board recommended that no further action be undertaken, and the officer has retired on disability from the stress of the situation.”

This, right here? This is good Kinja.

This quote was particularly telling: “I am almost for a loss of words for what we had to go through today for the unwarranted actions of two of my officers,” Ayers said.

...... Meanwhile, in Minnesota, a white guy is softly weeping and needing an intervention over a poster.

That’s amazing. In Georgia, you’d think they would have been promoted.

Since March, it will have been 26 years since the LA cops were recorded on video to have beaten Rodney King to a pulp. The only thing that protects your civil rights is not a gun; is not eye witnesses; and it definitively isn’t public officers sworn to uphold the US Constitution - it’s the hard threat of civil…

What also sucks is some other small town department will pick them up, and they’ll be back on the streets in no time.

So when the ex-cops finally lawyer up, I’m sure someone will call this asshole looking for help:
