Yeesh. Timothy, with all respect, it's very much NOT a good time to cry the white man tears about being put-upon. Think about this story today in the NYT: "Minneapolis police use force against black people at 7 times the rate of whites."
Just dawned on me that it has been turned from a racist, police action problem to a Union problem. How very republican.
Except that police unions are definitely a substantial part of the problem. Large unions are not immune to corruption and greed by their leadership - just look at the ol' boys club that is the UAW.
To dismiss racism and say unions are the only problem though, is definitely willful ignorance.

But let's be real...There are 40 some other teams and only two alaskan teams...the day one of us wins something big will be the day I transfer to UAA

It would be interesting to know what effect social media has had on police as well. It seems the rise in the militarization coincides with the rise of social media.

Trouble is, he should have said this yesterday, when Trump used the military to clear the space for his tough guy photo op at the church.
I'm sure between yesterday and today the Raytheon board called Esper and told him a hard rain's gonna fall and they don't want DumpStench on them.
Dump is going down in history as a comically inept combination of Mussolini, Caligula, and Orval Faubus. Nobody with a brain in their head and a shareprice to maintain is going to want his stink on them.
It can't happen. If it happens even whitey will never trust a DA again. Timothy will. But Hovey won't. And if the right loses Hovey it's over.
That's a lot pressure you've heaped on my narrow shoulders.
That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
Hung jury. All it takes is impaneling one copsucker.
Heard an argument that could made prosecuting the three others difficult. One that centered around them concentrating more on the public that was starting to amass around them only checking in here and there and seeing Chauvin had it under control. Basically "We feared for our lives", but without the fear being what the decedent would do. They were distracted.

It shows the faith I have in you.
My serious take is you stand astride the line between Republican voters (15% of the electorate) and the True Believer Base (35% of the electorate). If you fall it means the GOP is down to a third of the national vote, their effective bottom. Even they can't suppress votes that fast.
