    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    Worst bit about that is them blocking traffic, honestly (and probably the terrible state of their gear and/or practice with it...Critiquing right-wingers setups and hypothetical proficiency with it is always a fun pasttime, no reason it can't be applied to a differing political spectrum). Would...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    One thing going conspicuously unmentioned is her status as a foster-child, despite it probably being a pretty relevant portion of the story. The foster care system is...broken, to say the least. And deals regularly with broken and maladjusted individuals (be it because of the shitty system...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    I will rag on police everyday and any day, but really the big concern here is that the cop needed to be more mindful of what's behind the target he's shooting. Because he easily might've killed the woman being attacked with a knife as saved her. Like...Cop lucked-out and ended up not hitting...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    Not even the courtesy of stenciling witty sayings onto the freshman nazi-spanking paddle. If people are gonna LARP, they can at LEAST do the courtesy of checking out the source material, dang-nabbit! Otherwise they just look...Dazed and Confused. Eh? Eh? Anybody?

    Yes. But counterpoint: Diablo sauce is amazing--and I've never seen it in bottles sold at stores anywhere. So you need someone in your friend group to jump on the intestinal hand-grenade of Taco Bell food so that the rest of you can make puppy-dog eyes at the nice people behind the counter to...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    The Wallace incident is very heavily skewed towards looking like a good shoot--unless witnesses came forward to say he didn't have a knife (since it's not that visible in publicly available video) or something, I have a hard time seeing how a complaint should be made.--An average citizen in a...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    Hmmm...You know what, if this means the somewhat eye-rolling tacticool camouflage gear gets replaced by Conan-style loinclothes--even if they're camo-loinclothes...I think I'm down for it. Militias can flex on the black-bloc by marching around with easily-exposed co--*cough*--thighs.:sneaky...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    As mentioned, the historiography on Columbus is a bit more complicated than the common revisionist picture of him as a uniquely debased and greedy dude by the standards of his time. He may have been, it's somewhat of an ongoing question for him in particular because of the...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    There is something of a massive and unjustified gap in logic herein on both sides of the aisle where the libertarian/radical-right 'starve the beast' idea is applied from the leftward perspective to police departments as a 'solution' whereas it invites horror, pushback, and mass resistance when...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    A local affiliate has a (perhaps-incomplete) listing of the various fundraising efforts out there. A lot of it is going through GoFundMe by folks it seems, which is...both probably good in terms of access but also opens up more questions as to where the money goes and potential scamming or the...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    Another angle on the incident where the man recording perfectly encapsulates the response: Supposedly, the guy was armed security for Seattle's KOMO News and he actually seized two police ARs from rioters. Which...kudos to the dude is about the only way to put it.
