I don't think they're in the same time zone.

There is a simple solution to cut out 90% of this racist unethical garbage. Next time, the fine comes out of the P.D. budget, not the insurance carrier or general fund. No paid overtime? 5-year old cruisers? No raise last year?

Once you have them by the wallet, their hearts and minds will follow.

"Suckled by Wolves" wasn't a very good movie.

it was a flag used by the military of a "country" founded on the principles of white supremacy and owning black people in chattel slavery

how can you possibly get more racist than that?

what's next, are you going to argue that the Apartheid Era South African flag doesn't represent hate and repression? Then maybe you can talk about the color scheme of the flag of Rhodesia

The media has always rewarded this at least since the days of Reagan. But Trump and his ilk like to step on landmines and destroy everything, so it's harder for the press organs to provide the same kind of cover without looking like the sycophants they are.

He is the lynchpin that holds their society together.

I grew up in a small town in SO that was settled back in the Gold Rush days, almost all from the North. After the War of Southron Treason, unreconstructed rebels moved in. "settled" is the white polite way of saying "stolen from the natives."

We're still celebrating and making fun of her a year and a half later. I'm profoundly grateful to work for an organization that doesn't tolerate racist shit.

Stradley and Reeves need to be arrested. (By the way, Stradley is on paid leave from the Police Academy.)Oregon has a couple of laws that apply to rogue police officers.(And the Portland Police Bureau is still murdering hapless black people.)
