I just love this song so much!

New from Fleet Foxes. Songs with an ethereal feel often get me. This one is no exception. The Resistance Revival Chorus really make this special.

Merry Christmas in an authoritarian state (bad cops being bad)

But, seriously, enjoy your holidays and rail against this sort of police misconduct when you resume your normal day to day.

Police officer turns on body camera AFTER he shoots unarmed Black man

Happened in Columbus, Ohio. Way to circumvent accountability AGAIN!


https://twitter.com/AttorneyCrump/status/1341590352361213953



A police officer who shot and killed a Black man holding a cellphone in Ohio's capital city early Tuesday did not activate his body camera beforehand, and dash cameras on the officers' cruiser were also not activated, city officials said. Because of an automatic "look back" feature on the body camera, the shooting was captured on video but without audio, according to Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther and the city's department of public safety.

As a result, there's no way to hear what the 47-year-old man or the officer said during the interaction, Ginther said.

Am I the only one who thinks it's silly to start threads with "Am I the only one?"

I see it quite often in General Discussion.

This isn't verbatim, but I've noticed thread titles like: "Am I the only one who thinks Donald Trump is a scuzzy waste of skin?"

Why, yes! Yes, you are the only one! Thanks for asking! The rest of us have been singing Donald Trump's praises all this time but now your thread gives us reason to step back and reassess our bootlicking.

Just a little rant I had to get off my chest.
