The end game is treat all citizens with respect and professionalism as a LE officer, especially after they are apprehended and subdued.. Your second sentence is killing me rolling my eyes; as if there needs to be something else said or demonstrated to convince anyone. Your mind is still wavering on whether or not the situation was totally unacceptable for society as a whole when the guy was murdered by 4 cops?

Don't really give a fuck what the guy did before. He's in handcuffs, not resisting, and gets killed. With 3 other officers as witnesses. Now if Ms Chaivin was the victim, I could halfway understand his behavior, but the other 3 officers still should have pulled him off. You wear the badge, you uphold the law, bottom line.

Shawn Kemp's voting base is increasing exponentially...

round bales changed all that...LOLz. they've been around for 30+ years. Campbell seems fucked up. Let it go, Louie, Let it go...

Some would call that planting the seeds of conversation. Maybe you and I just differ on that opinion. I'm cool with that too. As far as 'misinformation' it ain't like we don't have 453 fact checker busy bodies on staff around here. If it's bullshit, it'll get called out most of the time.

The students in Montgomery should have called in reservations at the lunch counter...

What in the actual fuck? did I miss some movie reference here?

I have never understood the Hugo hate. Seriously. It's not like he's out there antagonizing people. It was sometimes fun to discuss his topics... Well, until CR turned into what it is.

didn't like it. made it about 40 minutes into 1st episode. No funny in a military way, a Steve Carell way, in any way.

Fuck Monkeys band name or the group of officials calling an NBA game?

so my hiring decisions at work, be an advocate for diversity and engagement; my community involvement( working with youth) that's all probably worthless horseshit too. right? Just give me a thumbs-up... I'm dying for it!!! Question: if that's not where change starts, then help me the fuck out...

yeah. i knew this before I posted it. Don't care. Folks insist someone's a racist and there is no way to refute it other than sharing life experiences...then the goalposts are moved and they don't qualify...as if the scorekeepers' affirmation is the goal. Nothing ever measures up. Exclusivity has its privileges... still raised kids that view the world the right way. That's the goal.

My youngest son has been dating an African American woman for 2 years. She has even( gasp!) spent the night at our house multiple times. I'd put it at 50-50 that they end up getting married. So fucking scary...LOLz. I will admit introducing her to my mom at a family get together was more fun for me than it should have been. I'll go back to being racist white piece of shit a crap ton of y'all think I am... I get a kick out of how 'challenging' these exercises in treating people with decency is supposed to be. The real challenge is thinking about my potential grandkids and how they will be viewed by the scorekeepers. My son is pasty white and they are gonna be some cornball bruthas at heart. I pray they can overcome the racism on multiple fronts.

so a shot was taken or NOT taken at the mods in a public post? Then after 150 some odd posts, the consensus is far from the original contention. Weird.

It's a direct shot at the moderators in the thread title. Not a bitch move to put it where moderation is discussed. Threads are moved from time to time, no? Some seem to be trying to make it sound like a PM was publicized or some shit.

telling isn't it? SMDH! "You're not qualified to discuss the human condition, gotdammit." and people like you are not seeking solutions/ share opinions. You just want to bitch.

On CNN, they fucked up the 2 money shots- liftoff and the rocket engine landing on the barge. Everything was still cool, but damn... That was the first and only news coverage I've watched in months on TV.

I didn't differentiate because i said 'Presidents' You can read can't you? It applied to the conversation in general. Go fuck yourself though. peace love and happiness crybaby...

Nope. The thread is very, very relevant. But same ole people wanna debate presidential legacies. Really?

Neither are you Go be quiet. LOlz.

I am tired... of people being inclined to tell me my opinion on Presidents in a non-CR thread, a great thread, but wholly fok. What a fucking beating 24/7. Never stops.

1) Yes, although they said my headlight was out and it was not. I was leaving a watering hole back in my early 20s at Tech and I know ole copper thought he had a DUI. My cousin from out of town was with me and we both kept grinning like Pyle in Full Metal Jacket. Finally the cop asks us, "WTF." I just frankly told him, "Of all the times I've fucked up, today ain't the day. We had wings and tea and that's it." he gave me a warning. I've also been questioned in my neighborhood while walking to the mailbox because I "matched a description..." neither of these is remotely as heinous and fucked up as scenarios shared in the thread. I am completely aware of that. 2) On the car search thing, I would ask them why they wanted to search the vehicle. I have never had my vehicle tossed, although I have been asked to step out of the vehicle and they just visually checked out the inside. I lean towards saying, "Not without a warrant," but the pragmatic side of me would consider just letting them look and getting back on the road for time's sake. I say this knowing I have no weapons in the vehicle and zero drug paraphernalia. They would find a shit-ton of stuff from my work as I am on the road almost every day. FTR, I got pulled over for speeding Thursday morning. 58 in a 50, approaching, but not yet in a construction zone. DPS officer asks where I was headed and I told him- 2 neighboring towns. he asks me if I work for ( my employer) and as I had my name badge and a company logoed shirt on, as well as a crapton of point of sale in the back seat; I wanted to smart off and say something clever... but I did not. i got a warning. It's been my experience that DPS troopers are about 1000X more professional than local cops. Could be just my experience. Military cops are way the fuck nicer now when I visit post than when I was serving. Never had a real problem with them either though.

This. Wife asked which channel and I told her it didn't make a fuck. I just wanted to watch the video feeds. Kinda like football we used to watch...
