Fucking snowflake “feared for his safety” against 11 year old children? No, let me correct the narrative: 74 year old racist bastard batters children for daring to have fun on a duplex driveway. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth::face_with_symbols_over_mouth::face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

wild that one of the officers actually said that at court to “prove” they’d done the right thing

Phillips claimed during the civil proceedings that he didn’t recognize Hicks’ vehicle when he pulled him over the second time. Ferreyra justified his actions by noting that “No shots were fired” during Hick’s detainment.

At the Bradley International Airport Saturday evening, D’Angelo Grilled Sandwiches ran out of bread. The employee who was working at the time of the shortage, a Black woman, told Barnett all she could do for him at that point was offer him a wrap instead, the report says. Rather than accept the circumstances, police say Barnett began cursing, making threats and throwing racial slurs at the employee.

Seems likely that the Big Mac the cops stopped to buy for him on the way to jail had bread.

Damn, at least two kinds of wrong (2 white men first, and “men” versus “negroes”). Ugh.

And “carpetbag misrule”? That would be funny if it weren’t so scurrilous.
