Is that sarcasm? That sounds like sarcasm. It's sarcasm, right?

It's hard for people with good health care to understand just how poorly the poor, the non-English speakers, non-whites get treated. Stuff a suburban white person takes for granted often just doesn't exist for a lot of people, even with the ACA.
"The sanitary crusade of the nineteenth century is central to the violent project of empire."
"Strip away Book Amy's complexities and you're left with little more than "crazy fucking bitch.""
"The overall male-to-female ratio is 115:100 among single adults ages 25 to 34."
Right? I can't count how many times I've had a conversation just like this
Watching the video, I'd be shocked if the bruising arose from anything other than her falling to the ground. There's just not enough momentum anywhere else. And that, frankly, is her fault. She struggled, tried to run away, and fell to the ground without any help from the cop at all that I can see. He looks like…
You are absolutely wrong. You seem like you have kids. Ever tried to get a struggling 4-year old into a pair of shoes they d0n't want to wear? Kicking their feet, rolling on the ground, flailing their arms? Unless you use your weight to keep the kid still, I guarantee you can't do it.
We can play choose your own adventure! You are the cop. You don't subdue the arrestee, and instead check to see if she's ok. She (1) stumbles up and bangs her head on that car; (2) attacks him; (3) attacks someone else; (4) starts to run, slips, and FALLS DOWN HARD ON HER STOMACH, INJURING HER BABY or (5)…
What are these different procedures? I've never seen any training, anywhere, for special "subduing a pregnant person" procedures.
Would a slightly less hard shove have been ok? Say a gentle push? Or is he limited to a strongly worded rebuke? Or should he just glare stonily in the hopes that the person stops interfering on her own?
Maybe it's just me, but I'm no longer into piling into shitstorms after some kid has recognized they've done something stupid, apologized, and tried to move on without making things worse/stupider.
That's not strictly speaking true.
Now providing a right to counsel in radio interviews as well as criminal trials!
I hope whoever wrote this tweet suffers. Not violently, although being trapped in an elevator with an angry, drunk Ray Rice seems . . . appropriate.
Worse, the NFL can't reverse course even if it wants to. Rice has already been punished under the CBL, they can't punish him again.
"The incident took place in Arizona, because of course it did..."
Right.
Well, (a) You're shocked that having better facts might help your defense? You're confused about the routine advice of "Don't say anything, even if you think it'll help you, to the cops?" Are you an infant?
