that the number of people killed by police per year continues to be greatly dwarfed by the number of people that die due to things like stroke or heart attacks.

hold onto the remnants of justice, I refer to the great injustices of suppressing voter registration and the ability to cast a vote and the slow march of authoritarian rule by Republican despots.

With respect for those in law enforcement who uphold our laws and Constitution. The "bad apples" are now "rotten to the core" and if not removed from the larder, will spread the rot. imo

while rehearsing for his acting role... at first everyone thought he was joking around recreating his famous scenes from Sanford & Son.

Mind you the show was not as good as Sanford and Son but it was fairly decent from what I recall.
