surely more training or reform is needed so the cops will know not to beat people to death

Nah dude. You watch that shit. I'll watch it if I get called to sit on the jury. Otherwise I've seen enough.

Not yet. We've been hearing and reading and seeing and singing about police beating a black body to death while he begged for his mother, it feels like, every year for decades. Just not sure I need more videos to visualize the story, after reading some of tonight's reporting. I'll maybe read the arrest warrant and the ME report, like the others, maybe a judicial order, if something unexpected happens in court, I'll look for the video later to see if any of these piglets cry at their sentencing.
I think it's nice to see some unity in condemning police treatment toward certain men. I also think I know why for some people it's super easy, damn near convenient, to demand justice this time, otherwise I might ask what took so long? Nobody has to trip over themselves or even do one backflip for these five, just lit them up.
Makes me sad.
>Check out the message in a rough stylee The real criminals are the see-O-P You check for undercover and the one PD But just a mere Black man, them want check me Them check out me car for it shine like the sun But them jealous or them vexed cause them can't afford one
>Black people still slaves up 'til today But the Black police officer nah see it that way Him want a salary Him want it So he put on a badge and kill people for it
>My grandfather had to deal with the cops My great-grandfather dealt with the cops My great grandfather had to deal with the cops And then my great, great, great, great, when it's gonna stop?! Woop-woop, That's the sound of da police, that's the sound of the beast

Oh, thanks for the correction. Have not tried the "ceviche" place yet as it grosses out my family. Sometimes living with vegetarians sucks.

My friend tried and got stuck 1/4 of the way out. He tried swimming back but was just stuck against the current. Eventually he made it back and we quickly decided to never try that again.

Wear what you want! CT has too many ball caps and bucket hats. I'd welcome something different.

We made Stetsons here. Just tell people you're honoring Connecticut's manufacturing history.

Why the fuck does this article go out of its way to mention the square footage and Zillow estimate value of his home?

You just nailed exactly why I also drive the one day a week I have to go into my office in soho from Easton. I work 7-3 so I leave at 5am so no rush hour traffic, it takes 60-90 minutes and costs about $60 - $42 to park, $6 for the Henry Hudson toll total, and 5ish gallons of gas. If I took mnr it’s 15 min drive to the train station, an 80-90 minute train ride, 15 on the subway plus any waiting around time. Cost is $36 for round trip off peak, $6.50 to park at the station and $5.75 round trip subway. So for basically the cost of gas a week I get a seat, my own music, and the ability to stop anywhere or anytime I want/need and save myself 1-2 hours or my time.

Yo…minding your business is a religion here.
We aren’t really less friendly at heart we just don’t get in anyone’s business and don’t want them in ours. But if you ask for help, you’ll get it, and if you make friends with us, we’re usually damn loyal and helpful if you need it. We don’t offer but we come through, if that makes sense.
I’ve heard that west coast is outwardly friendly but lazy about it, and the south is nice to your face but talks crap behind your back so it’s fake nice. Here we don’t really do that, if we are friendly, we MEAN it.
