No, No, Don't Worry. Racism is Pretty Much Over.

Looks like a Go Fund Me was set up to replace the Jackie Robinson statue that was stolen and burned and they've already surpassed their goal.

Well, as an extension of their upset over slavery ending.

So the wife asked a police officer today why they decided to go out of their way to follow and eventually pull her over instead of the guy they were already behind who had done the exact same thing (minor traffic violation).

Answer: "Guess it was his lucky day."

Hard to believe there wasn't some kind of bias at work there.

Yeah, hard not to think that in that kind of scenario.

Also when I read that, what popped into my head is in the u.s. there's a decent chance that asking that would have been used as a pretext by the cops to escalate the confrontation. Glad that was the end of the story for your wife.

Cops worldwide have cop brain, I guess.

Cops are cops, all over the world! Who says we’re fractured beyond repair?

Probably the chief of police in the other car.

That's a shame, I'm sorry to hear about it but glad it didn't escalate and she's ok.

MAGA Michigan State lawmaker declares plane load of Gonzaga basketball players landing at Detroit airport for sweet 16 tournament are "invaders".

Maddock seemed particularly annoyed that the "invaders" in question were getting a special police escort.
"Happening right now," he wrote. "Three busses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?"
