in DU's different topic areas are amazing and some have made my blood boil. But having been here a while now, wolves in sheep's clothing comes to mind. Or rabid RW sensibilities covered by a false and thin veneer of liberalism. Very disappointing how generations of injustice have been swept away with the false indignation toward justified pent up emotions erupting after this murder and a fall, winter and so far spring full of unarmed and usually running away and/or not resisting killings of POC by the so called keepers of the peace. Not surprised at all.
