They thought he was holding a club under the covers.

But don’t you dare protest systemic racism in Amerikkka, because that would be far worse than attacking the Capitol in an attempt to try and cancel the Presidential election! /s

Again and again and again ……

Police training to serve and protect.

Show me your (BANG! BANG!) hands now!

When you write your report be sure to include that you reasonably feared he would throw his pillow at you.

While you’re down there, can you check for armed IRS agents too?

The problem with an opposing party system with no effective/enforceable means of encouraging consensus or even compromise … results in no real progress in eliminating de facto racism and de facto misogyny. Division and exclusion are not practical ways to build a better/stronger nation.

But if you’re a white wealthy person, we’ll ask you for your stolen goods….no penalty for stealing them, just give them back. Please? We’ll wait months.

Thanks, but we think you have more. Please give them to us, since they belong to us. Please? We’ll wait months.

Thanks, but we really think you have more stolen goods. Please give them back. I know your lawyers say you gave them back already, but we think they might be misleading us.

Okay, we’re coming to get our stuff. We’ve gotten a legal search warrant. We’ll visit when you’re not even there. We’ll show up during the day, not in uniform, but in polo shirts and khakis. Don’t want to make you uncomfortable, really.

Oh, here’s a boatload of serious stuff you stole. We found it all in a few hours; funny how you and your entire legal team couldn’t find it after all those months of diligently looking for them.

Tell it to Breonna Taylor’s family.

Anyone who goes along with the Dotard-as-victim fantasy is potentially beyond hope.

Sad!

I would rather have a poster of Wiggs’ dunk over Luka (now that’s a poster) or Steph nailing a 3 from the logo, but other than that, I’m very ok with this.

Don’t quote my numbers because I can’t find the reference. Possibly NPR but could have been the NYT. Some municipality showed the the cops had 90+ hours of firearm training and 2 hours of de-escaliation training. ’Nuff said…

Clay, I wish you hadn’t had to draw this ‘toon; it’s sadly accurate :-(

If the ethnicities were reversed, this story would have been ignored.
