There is justifiable outrage at the killing of Jameson, but this was just as egregious. The officer reached for his gun, not the gate, as his first reaction. Remember Jameson, but don't forget Daisy.
Police work is hard, but we can do better.

Former President Joe Biden on Trump: "It's not just his vanity projects...putting his name on the Kennedy Center. Building an arch in his own honor. Even hiring his own pool guy to fix the reflecting pool. Whoa, what a loser."
@Acyn Amazing.
A president who claims a mystery villain carved a 350-foot scar under 24/7 surveillance?
Either release the footage.
Or admit the real damage wasn’t the pool. It was the contract.
Lieu: Trump overpaid on a no-bid contract to a pool guy who was a total amateur and messed up the Reflecting Pool, and now Trump’s fragile ego has him trying to cover this up by saying someone did a 350-foot gash in the pool. This pool has 24/7 cameras on it. So we’re in a place where the president is just lying because he can’t handle that he totally screwed up the Reflecting Pool.
A federal judge in California has issued a nationwide block against the Trump administration’s policy of making arrests at immigration courts, putting an end to a practice that garnered national attention. https://t.co/dZy293iIlY
The Obama Presidential Center is a monument to the values and ideals that define us as a nation. It was my honor to be there on Thursday for its grand opening and to reflect on President Obama’s journey to the White House.
Again, here is a video I took April 27 that appears to show workers sitting on the ground and picking at the peeling sealant on the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
"Cancelled."
Donald Trump just cancelled signing a bill that's strongly supported by Republicans and Democrats to help Americans afford a home.
Rent, home ownership, affording a place to live, all of it is a big challenge for millions of Americans.
But again, Donald Trump doesn't care.
Jamie Raskin is as thoughtful as it gets. So when he says the FBI director may be running a taxpayer funded slush fund, I listen.
Kash Patel allegedly directed over $1 million in bonuses to a small circle of loyalists and his security detail, some near $8,000 every two weeks on top of maxed out salaries.
The money moved so fast the bonus reserve ran dry. The recipients sit on his so called “Payback Squad.”
He has until June 29 to answer, and he must.
PabloReports: Does Donald Trump get to keep this Qatari jet after the presidency?
Raskin: No, he does not. You know why? Because the Constitution says he can’t do it.
Because the Constitution says that the president may not receive a present, an emolument—which means a payment, an office or title of any kind—from a king, a prince, or a foreign state without the consent of Congress.
And Congress has not consented to him keeping a $400 million jet. So it’s got to be turned over immediately to Congress for disposition.
We can either send it back to the people in Qatar, or we can keep it and do something different with it. But it doesn’t belong to the president.
You know, Abraham Lincoln, in the middle of the Civil War, wanted to keep some elephant tusks he’d gotten from the King of Siam. He never kept a present before. He wrote a letter to Congress. He said, “Can I keep this?” And Congress said, you know, you’re doing a great job, Honest Abe, and we love you, but no, you can’t keep it. Turn it over to the Department of State. That’s the right way to do it.
Every other president has come to Congress to ask whether they can keep one of these foreign gifts from a government, king, or prince. President Trump should be no different. He’s got to come to us too. And if not, we’ll just have to requisition it and confiscate it.
Fencing off the Reflecting Pool can’t keep out the truth about corruption & incompetence. PSI is digging into Trump’s campaign donors & shady (criminally past convicted) buddies with no-bid contracts. They’re profiting hugely from shoddy, costly failure.
Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in theses talks.
It is a fundamental corruption.
