Stacy Abrams and Marshawn Lynch are two of my all time favorite human beings ever. Very little relation to this article and none to each other, I just wanted to say that.

It’s always sweet to see a Kennedy or Cruz or Gohmert (the list is endless) get their asses handed to them in full public view. The tragedy for the nation is their supporters always manage to rationalize their complete failures as an own-the-libs win somehow. No doubt Kennedy’s voters are crowing about how he put that…

This is absolute TRUTH, without a doubt. You can tell from his tone of voice and his body language he expects her to be unable to respond with a cogent, assembled and considered list of things. He literally thought, she’s just saying it’s racist, etcetera, because everyone else in their party is saying so. We do this…

Those overwhelmingly white male tears are pretty tasty. But you're going to need to work on writing a better paragraph if you want to break into the literary world. 

Fuck. Off.

I’ll give you another example without even going to another country. There are professions here in the states where people work with persons with developmental disabilities, and some of those persons (the vast minority, mind) can be extremely dangerous with poor impulse control. Same for professions that deal with…

We won’t even get into somebody explaining why white people can commit mass murders with things much deadlier than a knife ALL THE TIME and somehow MANAGE TO NOT GET KILLED BY AN OFFICER but be peaceably arrested... 

“British police who are largely unarmed manage to do this all the time with knifers being their biggest problem.”

Thank you for this. Ever since the verdict it’s been like a contest, among people, including many on this site, to crush any bit of satisfaction we might let ourselves feel. The red flag for me is the “this victory isn’t justice” folks. There’s literally no reason to try and minimize this victory except need to be…

No. My premise is that shooting someone point blank and *definately* killing them is *not* the solution to a stabbing which may or may not have happened, may or may not have resulted in life threatening injury, and/or may or may not have resulted in death.

Or, as Homer said, “The blade by itself can draw a man to use it.”

I can agree that other options are available this is life there always are. In this specific scenario the officer had seconds to act. He had no time to determine who made the 911 call, whose house this is, who was in the wrong in instigating the fight and so on. All he had was seconds to determine how to stop a women…

This is nonsense.

Nope there are plenty of nonlethal training and gadgets that can stop this. Taser guns are projectile. One stab before getting her physically to the ground is much less likely to have killed any person there than shooting them. Training  for them in my opinion should be to have tactical shirts on that can take a knife…

The “stand your ground” camp should be defending her, but I doubt they will. Gee, I wonder why?

When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I am so so sick of seeing the video of that child’s murder autoplay on Facebook every time I scrolled through my newsfeed last night. I totally agree with making sure we document the police but I feel real weird about white people sharing videos of black children being murdered on fucking social media. I don’t know if…

Yeah, medicine has a long history of excluding women from research trials out of convenience (even female animals were excluded through the early aughts due to concerns that menstruation would interfere with research data).

Over half of America wanted some form of accountability, but the other part doesn’t.

Make police pensions the first stop for collecting monetary damages and you’ll see what police holding themselves accountable looks like. When that mythical bad apple ruins the whole bunch’s retirement plans because their rotten actions become too expensive to defend, they will bounce those bad apples right out of the…
