Due to directives on balance, the BBC are reporting that yes she was shot dead at close range, but in many belief systems death is not an end but a new beginning, part of a neverending cycle of change.

Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.
You support murder.

A kind of reverse Sherlock Holmes thesis, isn’t it: when we have eliminated impossible, ridiculous concepts such as “incredibly intelligent people like me and my friends were badly wrong” or “Perhaps the stupid hippies were correct” then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Brilliant here, Washington Post: it’s not that the US now has a president who just doesn’t bother pretending, and the stupid hippies were always correct. It’s that America just happened to elect a guy who behaves exactly like an imperialist demon, twice, so nobody needs to admit they were wrong.

This might sound trite or whatever but I'm serious. Every law enforcement officer should have to read, as part of their training, the Vimes sequence of Pratchett novels.
And write a thousand words bout what they took from them.
And those essays should be admissable in disciplinary hearings etc.

Hey. Remember when, back in the dim foggy past of mebbe 5 year ago when the righties insult de jour for leftists was 'statist'?
Well, there's nothing more 'statist' than the idea that cops are justified in shooting citizens in the face because they failed to comply with some obvious bullshit.

The Times was right behind Trump in his first term, cheering him on and denouncing his opponents as elitist leftist swine who hate the working man, right up until that torchlit Nazi march where that fascist killed that girl. Then it all went sotto voce. No such concerns, this time.

Frenchman fined for cracking egg on far-right leader's head
At Jordan Bardella's November book launch in the southern town of Moissac, a retired farmer stood in line and broke an egg on Bardella's head when he reached him. The same man was also sentenced in 2022 after throwing an egg at another far-right candidate, Eric Zemmour, during the presidential elections.

A career federal agent says that in 25 years, a fleeing vehicle has never justified killing its occupant, and officers should never stand in front of a running car. CBS reportedly pulled the interview, but it posted on YouTube.
