Hillary's plan allocates budget money that will go towards re-training officers to combat racial bias in the police force.

Cops and/or pigs should probably have sufficient training and less toys. The hottest of takes.

Actually feral hogs with good training is a terrifying idea, scratch the thing after cops.

What's (not) funny about this article, is that there has been a militarization of local law enforcement happening for many years, with many up and coming officers being prior military...so where is the disconnect?

Too many marines going into the police force instead of the more sane members of the military. Also, PTSD that gets glossed both by military and police in order to fill ranks. My guesses, anyway, that can probably be blasted out of the water.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I do not get along with the police but I've never in my life called them pigs just because it would reflect negatively on myself more than anything.

One of the only things I've ever really respected the police as a whole for is that they have a motorcycle gang called the Iron Pigs. I wish all police had a sense of humor about themselves like that.

Of course there are more aspects of racism, and her budget allocation plan isn't the only thing she has proposed to combat racism. My whole point is saying "lesser of two evils" seems really disingenuous to me. I am not calling Hillary the champion for people of color, but I feel like a lot of people have lost their objectivity here.

I've pointed it out in the RWM thread, but basically, Hilary Clinton has been the very literal target of 20 years of attacks perpetuated by talk radio, Fox News, and now Breitbart and other online tabloids. She and her husband were the figureheads of liberalism for the anti-left movement, because they were in the White House when the whole thing began. Bill has fallen away a bit, but Hilary keeps doing things like running for Senate, serving in high bureaucratic posts, running for President, etc.

The right is so thoroughly poisoned against "The Clintons" that even the ones who would be repulsed by Trump will vote for him anyways, because She is Evil.

Objectivity is so far gone that you might as well refer to it like paleontologists refer to the Jurassic Period.

two followups: ESPN Radio is being crybabies



and a bizarrely tone-deaf statement from ECU

“We regret the actions taken by 19 members of the East Carolina University Marching Pirates on game day October 1st felt hurtful to many in our Pirate family and disrespectful to our country. We understand and respect this is an issue where emotions are strong.

The Marching Pirates continue to be fully supportive of all the values the East Carolina University community holds dear.

We have met with the band and the members have collectively reaffirmed their commitment to the unique privilege and responsibility that comes with wearing the uniform of the Marching Pirates.

College is about learning, and it is our expectation that the members of the Marching Pirates will learn from this experience and fulfill their responsibilities. While we affirm the right of all our students to express their opinions, protests of this nature by the Marching Pirates will not be tolerated moving forward.

It is our hope that together we can move past these events and that the Marching Pirates will be part of the healing process, working as one Pirate Nation.”
