I get what they were trying to do.

It's an attempt. Obviously they should have maybe shopped it around a little more, cuz, yeah no. But I believe it comes from a good place.

Trying is better than not trying.

This is my feeling too. I get the idea that they're trying, sloppily, but trying all the same.

Probably should have workshopped this one a bit more, but this isn't on par with the idiot punisher tie-ins.


then again, white dude here, so I don't want to be telling others how they're supposed to feel.
 
So came across a video of Mississippi cops spraying dozens of shots at a vehicle on an incredibly busy highway. The more details I found, the more angry I got.

Video was filmed from the other side of the highway and could have been shot
The guy they were chasing was a suspect in a murder
There was a baby in the car
It died from the police gunfire
Did I mention it sounded like 30-40 shots were fired?


They said the guy was shot as he exited the vehicle. That might be true, but the angle I saw doesn't seem to back that up. I guess we'll wait for body cams...

I was angry, but if they identify as trooper... I should be able to pistol whip the next one of them that says shenanigans.

Yeah the DOJ has been sitting on that. If he had been acquitted they were ready to arrest him in the court room right away on federal charges if I remember the story from a week or so ago.

I think they were ready to even if he was released at all. (Not taken straight back to jail)
 
On this day in 1985, after an armed
standoff in which shots were traded, tear gas proved ineffective, the Philidelphia PD dropped a bomb on the headquarters of MOVE, a Black liberation group. The subsequent fire could not be controlled and 61 other homes were impacted by the explosion. Eleven members of MOVE were killed in the bombing; no city officials were formally charged after the fact.

The Phili PD used a helicopter to drop a bomb consisting of C4 and Tovex TR2 onto the roof of a house used as the MOVE HQ. 61 other homes were also damaged as a result.

Many people who lived in the dozens of row homes that were destroyed -- and who had zero connection with MOVE -- have never even been properly compensated for their losses. The article linked from VOX may touch on that, I did not read it, but wanted that fact to be known. Of course most (or maybe all?) of those affected were black. But that was 1985 and we've elected people of color as president and now vice-president, so racism is no longer an issue in the US of A.
 
The MOVE bombing happened when I was in college. It was a BFD. The campus protests over that were large: thousands rather than the usual band of a dozen PCU extras.
