me as a prosecutor: final question- what is the defendant’s zodiac sign?
the defendant: i’m a scorpio
me, giving a smug smile in victory to the defending lawyer who quietly curses and bangs his fist on the table in anger: no further questions your honor
Guy wanted me to make him a queen-size blanket.
Me: Can I get you anything else?
Customer: Yeah, a smile would be nice
Me:
A lot of people in the coming days will say, “It’s not about race,” or, “The media is trying to make it about race.”
But look at the data from Missouri’s state government: Black residents of Ferguson are twice as likely to be stopped and/or searched as white residents, and they are far more likely to be arrested. But searches of black residents are much less likely to discover contraband than searches of white residents.
Around the country, when compared to white men, African American men are much more likely to be shot by police. They are more likely to be arrested. They are more likely to be convicted. And for the same crime, African American men will on average serve 20% more time in prison than a white man.
We don’t have a race problem when it comes to policing in the U.S.? The data strongly indicates otherwise.
WAIT IS IT ACTUALLY GENUINELY A THING THAT AMERICANS DON’T HAVE KETTLES?
This is the most incredible scene in any television show ever.
the prophecy has read true
