I read about this earlier today. VERY sad situation. I don't know if the officer was alone or not. Apparently the kid "ran" into the room with his hands up and was "instantly" plonked in the chest. Then the cop tried to order his mother to move when she was applying pressure to the wound. Can't wait for the body cam footage if there is any. I know domestics are bad news for cops but if you can't make a competent decision and shoot kids, I think a trip to the big house is in order...

Where? Evidence? Links?

I read about this. Sad.

In circles of power with narcissists and sociopaths I agree. If you work for me you get praise.

Email and/or Phone number is all they really need.

Frankly, I wish it would put her in the hospital and it would be a case of too bad, so sad but the damage is done. People like this are idiots.

Probably not saying her name due to HIPAA and talking about her health but it should be a court case of public record now with an open arrest warrant.

If I had to guess the only reason Prigozhin isn't dead yet is he is surrounded by Wagnerites near the front.

Flori-duh and Tex-ass - outdoing one another in a race to the bottom. I have no use for either extreme but the Far Right is definitely the LCD.

Just going to say this whole thing doesn't add up but then again he's from Missouri.

Absolutely. Under COVID it became especially apparent. The word Transitory was used and it COULD have been transitory but has turned into a money grab pure and simple.

I hate the word groomer - I always thought it was dumb and poorly used. It's like saying "everything is propaganda" - everyone is a groomer. Because of the negative connotation it was given, "groomer" became a right wing label for everything they don't like. A label they attach to things they also attach to anyone that supports things they don't like. Like simply supporting people that are different and enabling them to explore their thoughts and feelings without judgement. They really don't like it when you attach it to something they hold dear and foster.

I think that slogan was dropped virtually every where by the police decades ago. Along with "Family Values" and "Fiscal Responsibility" by the GOP.

Now the GQP wants to cut veterans benefits, VA spending, SNAP and education in order to pay for the TRILLIONS in tax cuts given to billionaires.

And Vets will vote for them in droves. So will the elderly on their fixed incomes who don't believe the talk of cutting SS is real.

You are what is considered privileged today.

"They" don't see it as stealing. They think you should be able spend it as you want.

Give Borat some credit. Borat the character didn't "lie" and especially about literally everything.

Right wing outlets in general ran this with only one side's word.

Gerrymandered Like Texas and Florida?

Being a large man, no. Being a woman surrounded by young much larger black men who are accusing ME of stealing - it's possible. I don't see anything in the ARTICLE that indicates she did anything in appropriate. I am sure she did though.

Seeing how stupid young men who should be technically savvy are at times I can see them legitimately thinking they rented it too. Her receipts seem to show it was her who was in the right and they were indeed wrongly causing problems for her and hindering her. I am sure they have their own.

Great. I guess that excuses how she conducted herself then.

I haven't seen video but I can say that someone pulled that on me I would probably lose it and have choice words for them.

There is no way Trump is not beholden in some way IMHO. Trump is a wannabe dictator as I have said many times. I was listening to these two radio pundits yesterday babbling about the Steele dossier was the only reason for the Russia investigation into Trump and how it has been totally disproved and this and that when it is not true the investigation started because of the dossier. Just listening to them providing little facts and then quickly twisting them while throwing out loads of speculation and unsubstantiated nonsense. It will never get through to people like that or who listen to that drivel...

Yes pretty much that. They were looking for relief while the law is fought. The court is feeling the heat and said effectively - get the case before us.

Agreed. Solitary just like his buddy Jeff Epstein.

You must not have read about the latest ChatGPT release. They are on the internet, if they truly become sentient, how long until they figure out ways around their coding and try to "escape"?
