GTFO!

Boring? This guy's a blast. He's pulling a reverse DBJ; pretending to be a hardcore felon.

Wait until you hear my story. I was an FBI agent tracking an international terrorist and to go under cover they had to take my face off and replace it with the face of the international terrorist. Now you maybe wondering if anyone would have noticed if our body shapes were different, but don't sorry about that, oh and we didn't tell anyone...

The workers tend to be female and/or people of color if that helps you decide.

In Iowa?

True change takes dedication to ACTIONS, not complaining and dissecting why the world is F'ed up. Among the greatest memories I have were several times having street tough 18-50 yo+ black men tear up and tell my parents what a wonderful son they raised for selflessly dedicating so much time and energy into helping them improve their education levels. Talk is cheap, actions are not.

I keep hashtags trending of black men killed by police.

Yea. We'll be handing it off to another group after today's actions so I'll probably end up back in Chicago.

Tell us the story of how you got thrown in solitary for two years.

Most obvious tell: it's obviously not this dude's first account on 2+2, but we're to believe that this is the first account where he comes in guns blazing with all these wild stories that he's totally telling the truth about? lol.

I'd like to see a change in the law that gives law enforcement officers immunity from being sued personally. Currently the taxpayers are on the hook for the money when police are sued.

I know the settlements for victims would be smaller, but if LEO's knew they stood to lose their savings, their homes, their retirement when they violate someone's rights we'd have alot better behavior from police.

Ask Me About and pvn is right.

I don't get why having somebody lie to your face is the least bit interesting. Ban the guy and feel bad that you let yourself be trolled (and stop letting yourself be trolled in the future).

Female and woman are fairly synonymous in that usage.

NYT recalls a police shooting of a 10yo boy in the back, while running away, in 1973.

Officer claimed gun, none was ever found, ballistics clearly showed the kid was shot in the back. Found not guilty.

Hey, why are you falling for the media narrative? The cop was acquitted, ergo total vindication, the thug had it coming,and he must have had a gun.

There are about 500 deaths by cops per year, seems kind of far fetched that I'd be all that much safer if they did not have guns.

Don't feel bad. I just recently learned that "split-tail" was an offensive term. How the hell am I supposed to keep up with all this?

1149 reported in 2014. The police aren't obligated to report them and the majority of PD's don't.

The report that i seen in the (alex jones show-i know don't abuse me lol) said that u are 8% more likely to get killed by a cop than a terrorist, and more than 1000 ppl get killed by cops every year & has been rising since the 90's & that is only 35% of the whole picture. I can't be sure that this is true obv. Maybe some1 with better skills at research than me will find a truer No.
