Many of you have become drama-addicted doomers, and you seem to think it's important for the rest of us to join you.
Yes, things are bad. But change is within our power. Grow up. Act like sober, responsible adults in a democracy instead of cynical, all-is-lost teenagers.

The officer stepped aside and fired at arm’s length at a moving car even though DOJ policy forbids deadly force to stop a fleeing suspect when no other weapon is present. It’s the rules.

This was a tragedy that demands an independent investigation, not political spin.
We now have video footage from multiple angles that contradicts the administration’s story about the horrific Minnesota shooting. Trump himself wasn’t even aware when the NYT told him.

Law enforcement officers CANNOT use deadly force against a fleeing person fleeing unless they have a reasonable belief that the individual poses a danger to others (e.g., they know the person is armed). If in vehicle, the person must be threatening to use deadly force with the vehicle or other means

Our entire politics now is about our sundowning, failing, unpopular leader, whose powers are clearly ebbing, maniacally trying to find ways to restore his STRENGTH, POWER, and MANLINESS.
Like seizing Greenland; taking VZ’s oil; killing men in boats; terrorizing US cities; bombing other countries.

Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT:
When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success"
