So what's a police officer to do when someone points a rifle at you and says "I'm going to kill you".

So sad with the children there.

Baltimore again.

I notice the WP didn't link to the police report from one of her previous altercations with police. She had no plates on her car, told police she did not need any, and that the police had no right to ask her any questions. When they told her to get out of her car so it could be towed, she instead put her (then 4 y.o) son and a baby on her lap, refused to get out, and yelled at police. When they removed the children in preparation for dragging her out of the car, she told the 4yo to bite the policeman holding the child.

Charming woman, mother of the year.

The police report I read was while I was on my phone, see if I can dig it up.

“Although Black women are routinely killed, raped, and beaten by the police, their experiences are rarely foregrounded in popular understandings of police brutality,” said Kimberlé Crenshaw, director of Columbia Law School’s Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies,


I was not aware of this routine, I'm glad someone from the intersectionality and social policy studies group was able to point this out.

I guess the fact that, out of the nine women killed by police, all but two were armed and one drove at police with her vehicle, is a non factor. It must just be business as usual. Just part of the routine pointed out above.

When will these people get a clue?

My iPhone now has this news feature when you swipe right. It lists headlines to 4 new stories that I assume Apple has selected. Trending, new, important I guess.

What I have noticed that out of the 4, usually all 4 or sometimes just 2 are negative stories about Trump. Today there was this one as well with the negative Trump stories. It had the provocative head line with also a demure photo of the young mother. My immediate reaction was oh no! Not again.

Searching else where I found a less biased report to red first.

I couldn't believe some of the comments from Twitter posters about the event.

I guess I am from a different country, maybe after the election it will be mine again. I hope so.

I just checked three negative Trump stories and this one at the top. The new Trump story is about a crying baby at an event. I guess he's anti baby and anti motherhood now.
