in the state of Texas in almost 50 years.

So, if you were still wondering, this would be one reason why people run when they see the Police.

They have. They call that suspicion of resisting arrest.

it is, I thought you knew. 

How long until they formally make being black near angry police a crime?

White Systemic Racism

“My brothers in Jesus Christ our savior and Lord,” the letter begins, written in the barely legible chicken scratch preferred by white supremacists everywhere. Carothers continued:

This isn’t the first time Carothers has been charged with murder. In 1999, the teeth-deficient suspect was convicted of second-degree murder and was charged with another murder in 2011, but pleaded guilty to lesser charges

Almost everything you just said is wrong.

“Reynolds runs a security company, Reynolds Security Consulting Corp., out of Plainfield and is also a reserve officer for the town of Sheridan. He’s currently running as a Republican candidate for Hendricks County Council.”

I’m honestly as tired as the “John McCain was a terrible terrible person who no one should say nice things about” pieces as the “John McCain was last of a rare and noble breed of American statesmen” pieces.

I can’t stop laughing at that face!!!!

A person uses that kind of language that openly, with two or more other people as witnesses? Yeah that fucker drops Nbombs like a redneck spits skoal. Little piles of his verbal fucking diarrhea all over the goddamn place. You know that every motherfucker on that school board has heard him drop it, probably daily.

An illegal recording might matter if police were operating without cause and without a warrant, or if this were a criminal proceeding. It should not matter to the school board.  This kind of stalling makes me suspicious of the rest of the board.  He’s not the only racist there.

omg I thought the title was hyperbole.. it LITERALLY sounds like some plantation owner speaking about those he has enslaved

Memphis, summer 1974. My father, who’d just spent the past seven years in the Army and then clerking at the US Tax Court in DC, is a new associate at a white-shoe law firm in the old Cotton Exchange building. Dissatisfied with the arrangement of his new office, he starts to move the desk.
