I've also heard that it's about her having sex under blankets on a reality TV show (which may or may not have occurred, because blankets). Scandalous.

Meanwhile Trump had a cameo appearance in a softcore porn.

The building was on fire and it wasn't my fault.

The article this one links to at least offers the DA's justification for not pursuing criminal charges:

quote:

Law enforcement officers are entitled to use whatever force they think is necessary to arrest somebody they reasonably believe has committed a crime, Neumann said.
He said multiple media outlets have asked whether the district attorney would seek charges against Cole, but few have asked why the office did not charge him.
“It’s because he didn’t commit a crime,” Neumann said. “I’m confident that’s what the law says. To charge him would be a violation of my role as a prosecutor.”

lovely, but I can see the logic there. Both cops involved lost their jobs, and the victim has stated he wasn't injured by what went down.

The real tragedy is having sex under blankets. If you manage to keep the blankets from falling off during sex you're having some boring sex. Miss Universe deserves better sex than that.

I don't see how they reasonably believed he had committed a crime when he showed them ID that demonstrated that he lived at that address and he was just sitting in a chair, not breaking in.

They didn't even charge him with breaking in, they charged him with resisting arrest and hitting them. They hit HIM and there was no valid arrest for him to be resisting to begin with.

It's hard to make any conclusions about the racial data without knowing the number of Hispanic whites, but it looks like Hillary's campaign is doing a good job driving up youth turnout in NC.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.

Nice to see the council took action, even though the DA unsurprisingly chose not to prosecute.

According to that DA assaulting someone is not a crime if they carry a badge. There's logic there, it's called "I'm a DA and I'm buddies with the cops why would I ever go after them." gently caress that DA, I wish the DoJ had the manpower and resources to destroy every last person like them.

I compared those to the actual demographics for the state and they're pretty close, I don't think you can make many conclusions based on that data.

Usually in this kind of case the goal is to see the police officers responsible fired. Both officers have already resigned is the problem. Going forward it's unclear what the former-officers could be charged with, or what punishment sought.

Given racial disparities in voting patterns wouldn't registration matching population demographics represent an uptick in minority voting populations?

That was my thought too. In past elections the turnout by Hispanic voters has always been lower than what Democrats would have wished (quick google search says in 2012 whites voted 64%, blacks 68%, hispanics 48%). If registration is mirroring actual demographics, that's a fantastic sign.

He isn't angry, he is calm! Probably one of the calmest, and lots of people, smart people, the smartest people, have said how calm he is. You wouldn't even believe how calm he is about this, way calmer than Crooked Hillary.

I don't know about that, but if you have to take to twitter to claim you won and the spin is the only reason anyone thinks otherwise, I'll go ahead and say you didn't win it.
