Okay state legislators and Congressmen, demilitarize our police departments and strip away their immunity when they kill people needlessly and recklessly. Get rid of the bad apples. Retrain police how to deescalate situations and reach out to community leadership in tense situations. . Forget the "warrior’ training and escalating situations with unnecessary force. Have citizen leadership work with police to achieve this. Have zero tolerance for police brutality. Get back to the protect and serve motto that has been ignored since the 80’s.

Oh, yeah, and I want a unicorn this Christmas also. /s

Still to come: the toxicology report, and charges for the other three officers. The peaceful protests, let alone the violent ones, won’t stop until that happens.

Um, that’s not happening. Anyone that thinks the Caucasian power structure that has kept its boot on the necks of the poor and minorities is having an epiphany is deluded. Anyone that forgets their place in the hierarchy is for damn sure going to be reminded what it is, violently if necessary. Always has been so, always will be. Eden is not just over the horizon.

The incestuous relationship among DAs, cops and the original ME in this case—-each working to come up with a reason to explain away a murder—-is symptomatic. Asking the mafia to investigate organized crime would clearly be stupid, but we expect the cops’ friends and their union to assure us that they will hold them to account. How many abuses are covered up every day? We see only the tip of the iceberg.

Civil-rights leaders say they have been “disappointed and stunned” by Mark Zuckerberg’s apparent inability to understand race issues following an hour-long meeting late Monday with the Facebook founder. Color of Change President Rashad Robinson told Bloomberg News that Zuckerberg failed to show any real comprehension during their Monday call. Robinson said “the problem with my ongoing conversations with Mark, is that I feel like I spent a lot of time… explaining to him why these things are a problem, and I think he just very much lacks the ability to understand it.” The leaders took particular issue with Facebook’s decision to leave up President Trump’s incendiary comments on the George Floyd protests in which he said “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” In a joint statement, the heads of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and Color of Change said they were “disappointed and stunned by Mark’s incomprehensible explanations for allowing the Trump posts to remain up.”

Saw a report last night that he had fentynal and methamphetamines in his system. That is the reason for the “Not Guilty” verdict by the future jury. Not the cause of death, but the excuse to ignore the murder.

Just petulant. At best.

Guess the ME didn’t have time to conduct any injections of possible intoxicants before the real autopsy was conducted.

OK, that’s just super creepy. Its almost like he fidgeted with the book to get the grasp on it just right as a way to emulate his favorite fascist leader’s mannerisms. They say Mein Kampf is the only book he’s actually ever read and that he kept it close on his nightstand. He likes to profess that the Bible is so important to him but there isn’t a thing in it he can actually quote from memory out of its pages. Just another way he shows us every day what a complete fraud he is.

ETA: Today 9 states and DC are able to vote. In DC however there is a curfew for 7 pm but the polls close at 8 pm. Wonder how many will be rounded up tonight by tRump’s gestapo tactics as they try to exercise their right to vote.

Facebook is not water or oxygen. People can live without it. Why in the hell do progressives even have an account with Zuckerberg’s business? Just unsubscribe, or whatever cutting the cord would be called. I find it odd all the 50-60-70 year old people that can’t imagine their existence without Facebook. “How would I keep up with what the kids and grandkids are doing?!” Here’s a fricking idea, call them on the phone. And trade whatever the hell cute photos Brittany has of Chad and Ginger via e-mail. It’s like everyone on the goddamned planet is a 15 year old girl, always seeking attention and affirmation. Look at me, look at me!! Here’s what I had for lunch! Like my new haircut?! I got my car washed! How about these new shoes?!

Sheesh.
