    sounds like all the protocols were followed, up until the disputed event of the attorney allegedly not letting the police talk to warner. which doesn't really make sense to me. sounds to me like the cops are trying to save a little face here. 

    but if they had cause to search, they had cause. if they didn't, they didn't. doesn't matter if the attorney let them talk to him or not. if they have cause, it's not his call.

    White privilege is not worrying about cops killing your 12 year old son and then facing no charges

    I'm tired of living in a police state where citizens are murdered with impunity, while people are convinced it's the 'best country in the world' and the standard for democracy

    I'm tired of living in the richest country in the world, where we can't afford to provide basic amenities such as health care, housing, education, and food

    Yes, I'm tired of the same shit everyday

    I hear ya.  I started following social and environmental issue as far back as the early to mid 60's.  As the years went by I grew hopeful.  And then tried to remain hopeful.  And then tried clinging to hope.  And now, well, I don't know if things will ever change.  And it absolutely sucks for me to say that. 

    But I still have a glimmer of hope because I still do what makes sense no matter how things turn out.

    There's a whole lot of domestic right wing terrorists in Washington DC enjoying their white privilege right about now. 

    Good thing they weren't caught selling loose cigarettes on Staten Island, that will get you choked to death.

    You are entitled to voice your frustration, disappointment, etc. as many times as you like and you can repeat it word for word if you want because last time I looked as long as you paid your membership and obey the rules you’re good to go. And if that bothers anyone then ignore his posts. I must have missed those specific instructions when I joined or is it just normal for people around here who aren’t PJ employees to call the shots?

    no one is claiming to "call the shots". just calling out the bullshit where I see fit.

    Shouldn’t we all be happy right now? We’re all on the same page here. Things aren’t going to change overnight but there’s a lot more to hope for now then there has been in a long time. 
    Everyone stop being so cranky!

    Good call... I mean, we're experiencing the 4th largest mass casualty event in America's history (soon to be 3rd) and terrorists have stormed the nation's capitol, but people should try to be a little less cranky.

    The events in DC today are no less applicable for this thread than they are the PB thread.

    Absolutely. If I didn't know better, I'd say that maintaining white supremacy is a key function of police.
