Chicago mayor plots changes to police policy after deadly shootings 

Chicago police will get new equipment and training to help them defuse tense situations and use the least amount of lethal force necessary, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said on Wednesday, seeking to soothe tensions in the city after weeks of protests over fatal police shootings.

Emanuel said at a news conference. “Just because you are trained that you can use force, doesn’t mean you should.”

Remembering S. Korean sex slaves after deal 

People hold portraits of late World War II “comfort women” in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, South Korea. The rally, which has been held every Wednesday since 1992, was the first since the countries reached what they consider a final settlement over Korean women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military.

Liberal Washington Post columnist: Bill Clinton is ‘fair game’ for Trump 

“In the larger scheme of things, Bill Clinton’s conduct toward women is far worse than any of the offensive things that Trump has said,” Marcus writes in her Tuesday column.
 
“Trump has smeared women because of their looks. Clinton has preyed on them, and in a workplace setting where he was by far the superior.

To fair, this could be true…

…If you believe women to be perpetual victims, with no agency of their own.

It’s beyond insulting all the way to patronizing. God, I fucking loathe women-haters like this writer. This cunt-rag is just pissed because someone got some twenty years ago and it wasn’t her. I mean, hyperbole in service of being a hater much? Clinton may have cheated on his wife but he’s not fucking Bill-Roofie-Them-All-Cosby.

Newsflash, you backwards twat, women are adults too. They are empowered to employ agency in their own lives. They have the technology to say no and walk away. Sit down, shut the fuck up, and stop implying that all women are helpless victims who are incapable of acting in their own interests when hit on.

…And blaming a wife because her partner cheated is a viewpoint that belongs in the dust-heap of history. Don’t ever claim to be someone who is anything other than an ally for men seeking to make sure women stay barefoot, pregnant, and the property of male masters with that fucking attitude, you backwards horrid gash, you.

Seriously, if you want to be that kind of useless gutter-trash, go for it. Don’t try and pull every other woman down into that simpy, servile cesspool of dependence with your pathetic ass though. Your  women-hating, cloaked-misogyny bullshit does not prevent other womens’ ability to be full, active, and in control participants of their own lives. That backwards shit is on you.

Wench.

Can’t we just hire cops to police the cops? Then they could kill the murderous ones with the mess, expense, and intrigue of a trial.

…Just like, the regular cops do, except these badge wearing gang members would only pick on their own kind.

Charges unlikely in killing of Tamir Rice by police

Nearly 400 days after a white police officer fatally shot a black 12-year-old carrying a pellet gun in an encounter captured on surveillance video, the boy’s disillusioned family believes it’s unlikely anyone will be indicted.

Grrrrrrrr

When did douchebag killers become more important than unarmed, innocent children? When did we start to refuse that the police are capable of mistakes?

Some military discharges mean no benefits after service ends 

No medical or mental health care. No subsidized college or work training. For many who leave the U.S. military with less-than-honorable discharges, including thousands who suffered injuries and anguish in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, standard veterans benefits are off limits.

SC cop wants the public to pay for his defense in his trial for the cold-blooded murder of a member of the public (Douche!)

A judge has ordered court officials to investigate whether a former South Carolina police officer charged with murder in the killing of an unarmed driver is poor enough to receive taxpayer money to help with his defense.

Tough shit, fuckwad. Need a better lawyer than most of the people you harass? Have your fascist, lying union pay for it. Loser. Piggie. Loser.

One Reason Not to Believe in Santa Claus

A visit from St. Nick nearly turns tragic.

One Reason Not to Believe in Santa Claus – The New York Times

WTF is wrong with people?! First off this supposedly religious person has the hubris to draw a direct correlation between himself and Joseph, and secondly, how strong can your weak-ass faith be if your religious foundation could so easily be toppled by a visit to Santa? And lastly, why the fuck are you having a young person who can’t hold a baby hold your newborn without standing a little closer? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Anyone who goes around calling themselves a “Christian” as if their denomination is the only kind of Christian is usually really bad at being one.
