And in teeny tiny font it says "verified" to confirm its the real person. Anyone can open a twitter account using any name.

In fact I heard today somebody claim Chris used one of his own tweets that went viral. He was proud of it.

Dec 2014

of Matt Taibbi's latest book "Divide," which juxtaposes the treatment of white-collar criminals with the treatment of blacks who aren't even criminals. Many black men in urban areas are picked up by the police time after time after time for doing nothing. If the police can't find something to charge them with, they charge them with phony crimes. One guy, married with kids, was coming home from work early one morning. He stopped to talk to a neighbor when the police came by and scooped them up. They drove them around for a while, searched them for drugs, didn't find any, checked for outstanding warrants, didn't find any. So they charged them with "obstructing a sidewalk," even though it was early morning and there was no one else on the sidewalk. This happens over and over and over.

Police are the upholders of discrimination in this society. Institutional discrimination must be clamped down on, wiped out of the law enforcement field.
