    If innocent unarmed black men like Jean are shot, it’s because they lack firearms; if innocent black men who are armed like Castile or Sterling are shot, it’s because they had a gun. Heads, you’re dead; tails, you’re also dead.

    In this case, just a cop.

    It is an interesting quirk in our tribalism. The folks who believe we need to be armed to stand up to tyranny, tend to be aligned with folks who are very supportive of potential agents of tyranny. Like if it comes to that, those guns will be used on police and soldiers.

    Man in the Hoboken HUB sex video is Pa. cop, says lawyer for bar

    Not sure why he wasn't identified if they know who he is. Probably the bar's lawyer just looking to draw some attention
    away from the bar and hope the mayor lets them open up again. If he is a cop, can't imagine he keeps his job for long.
    Didn't watch the video but a buddy who did said it was pretty crazy.

    It's hard when there's video and you have to go up there and tell the truth and shit.

    Chicago cops reluctantly testify against 1 of their own

    Another witness, officer Joseph McElligott, was so reluctant to testify that prosecutors finally gave up trying to get him to point to Van Dyke after he was asked the routine question of whether he knew the defendant.

    At some point, some town somewhere looking to save some cash will look at this - or something like it - as unofficial industrial action. Then they'll break the union.
