South Carolina police object to high school reading list for creating ‘distrust of police’

The books are the problem? Really? That’s what you’re going with?
Sorry, but I’m pretty sure it’s all the shootings of unarmed people of color that is REALLY creating distrust. The differential treatment, different justice, based upon race is what creates the real divisions. Only the police can fix this problem: stop racial profiling of EVERY type. Treat all persons, citizens or not, with courtesy and respect, not fear and mistrust. If they shoot at you, you can shoot back. Otherwise, it’s your fucking job to protect EVERYONE. Even if they run away…you can’t shoot someone in the back because you can’t catch them or you’re too lazy.

Wait. How and why exactly are Green Card holders being being deported? Isn’t a Green Card the EXACT OPPOSITE of illegal immigration? Am I just confused?

Maryland shooting: at least five dead in attack on Capital Gazette newspaper – live updates

Trump has renounced the shooting and tweeted his support, but there is something telling me the “white male in his thirties” they have in custody (and aren’t identifying) is probably a Trump supporter, lashing out at “fake news”. I could be wrong, but…yeah, I’m probably not wrong. So…Who is the shooter?

Trump gets chance to reshape top court

This is REALLY bad news. Thanks to the Senate fuckery that stole Obama’s #SCOTUS nominee and gave it to Trump, this will surely push the court hard to the right. God help us if anything happens to ANY of the 4 remaining liberal justices if we hope to have ANY resemblance of balance at all in our high court. We are really really being fucked HARD folks…we just don’t know it yet.
