I believe at least one of the cops has already been fired or resigned, which is probably pretty telling.

The cop who was acting like a complete douche was fired is what I heard.

Minneapolis cop being charged with manslaughter. This seems about right to me, but if she fights this we will learn whether she followed training to have the taser and gun on opposite sides of her belt.

The lieutenant's stop was terrible. I believe I read that you can hear the cops on the audio say that he was probably minority because he went to a well lit gas station. I don't know the veracity of that. I also read that he was not told why they pulled him over and the two cops yelled conflicting orders. I also read one cop was shaking during the entire incident, and his car was searched. Since the stop was for not displaying a temporary tag, the stop was in error and the search illegal. I am going to guess this goes poorly for that department.

When the Army Lieutenant says to the office that he is afraid to exit the car, the officer's response was:

"Yeah, you should be."

The office also told the Army Lieutenant that he was "fixin to ride the lightening."


Yikes.

very different situation to me than with Wright. This one the cops are clearly in the wrong, complete a holes, escalate a situation that didn't need to be escalated, and thankfully Guiterrez has already been canned. Hope the lieutenant gets his money, he deserves every penny.

Want to know what’s happened to the “newspaper of record”?
Long read but worth it. How advocacy took over for journalism.

It didn’t begin in 2016. The paper had Krugman on staff for years before. His economic opinions misled his derper followers until the masses crushed him in his own comments section. It was so bad he shut down comments on his own bloviations.

Dems plan to add four more Justices. Well, this will be entertaining at least...

So stupid. What happens when the Republicans get control? Do they add two more to tilt the court the other way? Do they remove the four that the Democrats added?
