Austin cops investigated for violence, racist remarks against black teacher

They’ve known it all their lives - there are lots of them.

No, Mark misinterpreted what the cop was saying. It wasn’t “[Black people have] violent tendencies…” it was “[I have] violent tendencies. Think about that [before you argue with me]”

Why does the comment section headline still say “Dallas cops” when this happened in Austin?

Has anyone bothered to @Falcor about it? The mods don’t read every thread if they’re not called.

They changed the headline on the main article, so they’re aware of the mistake. I’m surprised the database isn’t normalized properly. If it were, you’d only have to change it in one place. Okay, maybe I’m not all that surprised.

Nah it just automatically creates the topic here, most of the time… If it needs fixing after the fact it has to be done in both places. BoingBoing and the BBS are 2 different sites.

Is it weird that I feel an obligation to not avoid jury duty because of bullshit like this?

Data normalization is for us olds that did ACID back in the day.

Document datastores are doing to data storage what OOP did to programming 25 years ago.
