Mine was an addendum to yours, not a criticism of your comment.If someone uses Scripture to defend cheeto, then fuck them. Go clutch your pearls at someone else. I'm not having it.
Sorry, my Google fu is failing me at the moment.Is there more information about where this happened?
I think they are talking about Montreal.Is there more information about where this happened?
Apologies, then. It's hard to tell sometimes. Especially when the red mist starts rising.Mine was an addendum to yours, not a criticism of your comment.

New York:Is there more information about where this happened?
If you really want your mind blown ask yourself if they had ever deserved that respect or were the cops of yesteryear as brutal, racist and dishonest as the cops of today.It seriously saddens me that we've somehow gone from "testimony of a cop is worth more than that of an average citizen in court, because they're vetted and trustworthy" to "a cop better have a camera running for every move he makes, or whatever he says can pretty much be considered BS".
And I'm not saying "we should all just trust cops more again", to be clear, I'm saying "cops have seriously lost pretty much all respect and trust they had".
Because I haven't been to work in...forever, I didn't find out until yesterday morning that GR was undergoing the same sort of upheaval and violence as other large cities...heck, turns out it's even more confrontational than Detroit! But even though GR's westernmost neighbors might be among some of the most conservative-leaning in the country, at least the cops in GR aren't as insane as I keep seeing everywhere else, right?This is attempted murder:
The Ricketts family owns the Cubs. Not a chance MLB does to them what the NBA did to Donald Sterling.So there was a meeting in Omaha yesterday. Black leaders met with the mayor, the police chief, and Nebraska governor (and enormous human thumb) Pete Ricketts.
In the meeting Ricketts said, "The problem I have with you people..." and the black leaders just walked out.
He has not denied this and has issued an apology, but it speaks volumes. With racism at the very top, there will be no change at the bottom.
I'll believe it when I see it. I have no faith in the system.The Ricketts family owns the Cubs. Not a chance MLB does to them what the NBA did to Donald Sterling.
Yeah, it's not gonna happen. MLB won't even draft a Strongly Worded Tweet.I'll believe it when I see it. I have no faith in the system.
If you can, protest. If you can’t protest, donate. If you can’t donate, stay informed and call your representative.I don't know what to do guys. I don't know what to do.
It'll all depend on who's doing the investigating and checking, though.Possibly good news.
