This asshole needs to be called out too:
“ Zimmerman is represented by Larry Klayman, a high-profile legal crusader tied to conservative causes and the founder of Judicial Watch before splitting with the activist group.”
You have to wonder if this is being funded by any libertarian tech billionaires. In either case - local businesses and restaurants should refuse to do business with him.
Sorry you can’t take a client out to lunch and no one will fix your car.
The years roll by, the parties change, but the rhetoric and hate remain the same.
How many people do you think are going to change their political outlook because they saw a Trump baby balloon or Big Structural Bailey?
How many poor people might be inspired to come out for a party that actually demonstrated real, material support for their needs?
The always excellent Michael Harriot on the impeachment of a stupid, egotistical, rally-loving, racist President. History, not current events, but as often happens in America’s white supremacist saga the two are intertwined.
Anyone who tries to pull out “but he was a product of his time!” to defend racists might want to remember that John Brown and Thaddeus Stevens were also products of their time.
“They don’t know their history, evidently,” Stark said. “That’s the only reason I can think of that they can think anything bad about it—they don’t know their history.”
After nearly 100 years, Tulsa may be closer to finally answering whether bodies of black people killed in the 1921 race massacre were dumped into mass graves after one of the worst episodes of racial violence in U.S. history.
Once again, the most racist thing you can do is to call a racist, racist. Actual racism positively pales (pun intended) in comparison to calling out racism, because, you know that affects white people, so…
You beat me to it:
People can say whatever they like about the Watchmen series; I will always be impressed by the way it sparked awareness of the race massacres that happened very frequently, not even 100 years ago.
So many “its” out there that – in a good and just world – would not need to be beat to.
No, this is not exactly “Black Lives Matter,” but consider if the gentleman here had been a black male instead of a white cop…
“In an internal email to the Aurora Police Department obtained by ABC News, Police Chief Nick Metz wrote on Friday: “I unequivocally stand by my decision regarding the involved officer.”
“I know cops are human beings. You are not perfect. You are exposed to higher levels of stress and trauma than the general public will ever truly understand,” Metz wrote.”
“Due to an inability to exclude a medical condition and absent confirmatory information, a DUI investigation was not conducted,” a statement from Aurora Police said. “No blood test was done since there was no felony committed and a blood draw could not be forced.”
I suspect these would be rather differently applied in the instance of a black man passed out drunk in his car…
The officer took responsibility for his actions so he will not be fired.
“I take responsibility for my actions, of which no physical evidence exists because of my buddies in the Blue Line Mafia, so I guess I’m responsible for nothing.”
Oh, FFS. School teachers have more dangerous and stressful jobs than LEOs. Get down off the cross and sober up.
