I rarely even post in the politics threads anymore. Just don't have the energy for it. Sorry if you feel like I'm stalking you in here though. I think I've responded to you on two or maybe three occasions in a 46-page thread.

I don't feel like you're stalking me, it's just you've posted a few things today that really miss the mark from what I was saying, and then attack what I didn't say. The "I'm glad to know that you think that the only racist place in the country is the "deep south"" bit was particularly bizarre.

It was moderately sarcastic in response to your comment that "St Louis County isn't in the Deep South" as if that's in any way indicative of a racist populace or lack thereof. I don't think that was bizarre or unfounded at all. If you disagree, sorry.

how else can you even respond to "st louis county isn't in the deep south," it's kind of a ridiculous statement.

The executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police criticized President Obama Thursday for his remarks about law enforcement in Ferguson, Mo.

"I would contend that discussing police tactics from Martha's Vineyard is not helpful to ultimately calming the situation," director Jim Pasco said in an interview with The Hill.



"I think what he has to do as president and as a constitutional lawyer is remember that there is a process in the United States and the process is being followed, for good or for ill, by the police and by the county and by the city and by the prosecutors’ office," Pasco added.


Oh fuck off.

Exactly. I don't know if she made it up or not, but there's plenty of evidence to back up the assertion that the place is being run by a bunch of racist idiots. Her story, while somewhat unbelievable, does seem to fit the rest of the evidence.

When the President police does it, that means that it is not illegal.

The most racist places in the US are Southern Missouri, Southern Indiana and Kansas IMO.

These cops in Ferguson are shitheads and I echo everyone who has stated that the militarization of the police is a major problem that needs significant reform.

You're right. TD actually stands for Twitter Douche.

Much different tenor to this evening so far, MHP captain and officers now in charge aren't combat clad and are interacting peacefully with the protestors

the Silver thing was hilarious. Saw a number of people telling him to just shut up and chill out when he said he was going to write up a long apology

sorry td, you're not a douche.

anyway, what got me was how the nymag thing said "he kept on writing" he wrote those tweets in the space of about two minutes. it's not like he was digging a hole for 2 hours. it was a relatively inconsequential story. people on twitter need to chill the fuck out.
