The DA said he can’t make charges based on opinion, but they do it all the time. More often than not, it’s the police’s opinion that a black person is suspicious. The police officer’s account of what happened is always their opinion of what happened. It’s always the opinion of the police officer that someone presented…

He, like most Americans who graduated from high school, took A civics course. JUST ONE. I said Americans need to be BETTER educated on civics. Perhaps if he was, he’d not have made the choice to ignore a summons from the government. Nevertheless, 10 days in jail was excessive and there was no need to ruin someone’s…

Robb, I’m really curious to know when’s the last time you sacrificed your career, and potentially your life to file a lawsuit against the police? Why be mad at someone who—in your words—is looking out for their “best interest?” She could have just retired and said, “to hell with all y’all,” and rode off into the…

I teach [college level] government and politics. This country is largely ignorant when it comes to basic civics and civic duty. I’m sure all of you who responded about what a sacred duty this is, is quite educated on civics and its importance. You, like me, are an outlier. Most folks can’t even name the mayor of their…

I just LOL’d here in the office.  You are so right about that.  

Uh oh...they had to bring Lakesha out!

Very reaffirming article. I was diagnosed with a chronic illness between graduating from college and starting my career. That illness eventually led to multiple surgeries and hospitalizations that left me contemplating bankruptcy at one point before I even turned 30. I recovered from that, but then life hit in other…

Why did I think that was Bill Murray and Terry Crews with?

IMO, social justice and capitalism doesn’t really go together. 

As one who was bullied as a kid, you can’t put this on teachers. They have their hands full enough with all the crap they are dealing with. Besides that, they aren’t necessarily aware that the bullying is taking place in the first place. Kids aren’t necessarily calling each other names or hitting you in the presence…

If this is not a murder, let’s just call it what it is. Lynching is a premeditated extrajudicial killing by a group. It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged transgressor, or to intimidate a group. 

That doesn’t mean the husband couldn’t have orchestrated it.

So, I’m left wondering who is in charge...the funeral director or the executive producer of the Grammy Awards?

Michael Reynolds is officer’s name.

Punk bitch asses

...same way most cops get a pass for killing certain U.S. citizens for no other reason but fear.

I kept looking at the picture thinking it was a basketball player stuck at TSA.  Hard screen turned into just regular ole screening and I was stuck over the pickup part, especially when the pic looks like a guy stuck at a TSA security checkpoint.  Lol.
