regular reminder that the idea of “black on black crime” as a unique form of violence is an attempt to pathologize the general fact that violent crime happens between people in close proximity to each other, which in a segregated society means most violent crime is intra-racial.
1. Shake Shack employees not only didn't dose the shakes, but didn't know cops had ordered them in the first place.
2. The three cops never actually got sick.
3. But a Sgt and and LT escalated the story, and then the PBA tweeted out flat-out lies.

Confederates weren’t just vicious racists and traitors, they were also losers. They lost a single election and quit the country, then lost the war and pretended to surrender so they could try terrorism instead. Losers and cowards.

Protesting excessive police force is a right.
#FakeNewsMedia & #Socialist#Democrats deifying druggie & thug for political gain is wrong.
#GeorgeFloyd = armed robber (gun versus lady) + deadly cocaine, fetanyl, methamphetamine, marijuana user.
Hmmm.
Facebook has deleted the page and videos for @blackzebrapro, a Sacramento-based media company that has documented nearly every minute of the George Floyd demonstrations against police brutality.

Why should boys “man up” when they could *Hobbit up* and sit in a cosy armchair by the fireplace eating seed cakes and buttered bread and reading thick history books and slowly nodding off while a gentle summer rain patters on the windows.
1/ Local news is not doing a good job at all with this story. This thread looks at how Buffalo media is handling the Buffalo Police Department claim that the man "tripped and fell."
I’ve heard a lot of local journalists in small, non-diverse newsrooms ask with sincerity over the past few days how we can do better after this. Start by questioning the police version of things instead of just running with it. Not just during protests, but all the time.
