Re: “BREAKING: City Claims Controversial New Defense In Chasse Death, of “Excited Delirium.””
It wouldn't be especially hard to poke legal holes in this defense. After all, even if Mr. Chasse was killed by some whimsically-named pseudo-event, said event was still caused by the officers on the scene.
(i.e., had things gone well that day, he had no reasonable expectation of being jumped on by a bunch of thugs.)
Re: “Cop Union Boss: "Our Low Emotional Condition"”
You know what else will really sink your morale level? Getting stomped to death/randomly shot/strapped to a board and pepper sprayed until you suffocate by a gang of thugs who have the legal right to kill you more or less just because they panic or are feeling angry that day.
Westerman -I'd tell you to resign, but as long as I've been alive, your position has been held by some worthless fuck who hates the people who pays his and his brothers' salary. Another one every bit as bad as you will no doubt replace you one day. But still- grow the fuck up and get a little grace, pal: you're the one with the guns and no real oversight.

This is my problem: what the hell is a "come to Jesus" talk?
Re: “Collymore Post: "It's easy to have Scandinavian policies if you have Scandinavian demographics."”
Holy shit; that's the second time in two weeks I drew the ire of someone named 'Ugh' on the internets! Do you hang out over at the 'AV Club', too?
And as to that last sentence of your'n: you mean like everybody else does?
Re: “Collymore Post: "It's easy to have Scandinavian policies if you have Scandinavian demographics."”
So...Yeah, feeling guilty helps no one. And bemoaning a lack of black people misses the point.
Over on the Blue blog there, I answered the question, though: I said if we only care about getting black people to move here (since that was the way the question was phrased), we should get our crazy cowboy police force to not routinely shoot black people for no clear reason, then never face any serious sanctions because of it. That might sort of cut down any sort of image problems we have as some sort of racist prison camp, yes.
Re: “Pixies With Mullets (and Other Fabulous Sights from Disney on Ice)”
I did the load-in for this show (and am going back tomorrow for load-out), and the weirdest part was the trough full of inflatable flowers. It was like an incredibly sloppy Georgia O'Keefe painting.
