More of those "just the same" murders by police.

Quote
Nicholas Heyward was shot and killed by a police officer while playing cops and robbers with his friends in Gowanus. His last words were "We're playing."

Tamir Rice was shot and killed by a police officer while playing in a Cleveland park. The cop fired less than 2 seconds after arriving on the scene.

Tyre King was shot multiple times and killed by a police officer when they believed he matched the description for a robber in the neighborhood. He was 5ft tall and weighed less than 100 pounds. The robber being investigated had stolen $10.

Aiyana Stanley-Jones was shot and killed by a police officer when, while investigating a local shooting, they bust into her home without warning and fired within seconds. She was SLEEPING. She was SEVEN YEARS OLD. And the whole thing was getting filmed for a true crime TV show.

The Senate on Tuesday confirmed an African American man to serve as a service chief in the US military for the first time. This is General Charles Brown.

He's talking about how he feels, given this honor during these times.

Denver Police Fire Pepper Bullets at Car Carrying Pregnant Woman
Quote
‘F*ck you! You shot a car with a pregnant woman in it. With f*cking tear gas!’ — Denver police have launched an investigation after officers were filmed firing pepper bullets at a pregnant woman in a car (warning: distressing)

Not the first time that the Denver police have fired at folks who were not even remotely threatening them.

But what are the protests about?!

Fuck John Roberts

Which ruling?

Shelby v Holder

Yeah, both sides suppress the votes of marginalized communities...

 There is a true majority out there and it isn’t silent.

This current bunch of young adults see the big picture and while the GOP tries to squeeze the black vote they don’t seem to recognize the threat from non ideological young white voters.

I think the GOP knows the game is done.

Not for nothing I believe it was an interracial couple.

I can see you squirming. That double standard squeezing you is tough, isn’t it ?

That little tidbit right there is exactly why the euthanization of your whole way of life will be celebrated as a national holiday In the United States.

You get to carry on. Your culture is what will be reduced, reused, and recycled.

It was a pretty astonishing ruling even for that court.

At a minimum, they could have allowed for the loosening of the controls, while retaining the right to intervene again.

They chose not to.

COPS has been canceled. The networks have been reading posts like Bambi’s and have decided the show has had a corrosive social effect by their misrepresentation of American policing.

I told Bambi that the other day, but he had no response.

Keep marching for justice. Good things happen when, for the most part, we march for justice together.

It’s also why we have to put down the tyrannical pigs who try to replace democracy with thuggery. Republican gaslighting and abuse needs to die under the steady tramp of 400,000,000 heels.

Hannity claims trump would be better regarded as a president if someone would just kneel on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. If someone is able to conduct an empirical test, I would be willing to watch the whole thing. If trump for one moment start to seem slightly presidential instead of sadly pestilential, I will stop calling fox a lousy propaganda arm for global fascism.
