The show was always more forward-thinking than anyone realized.

Season 4 literally has a candidate campaigning on building a wall to keep out Mexicans over a year before Trump becomes a thing.

"I don't know what that means a community college," @realDonaldTrump says in Ohio. "Call it vocational and technical. People know what that means. They don't know what a community college means."


Our President somehow doesnt know what Community College is.

Kentucky is approaching a teacher's strike, a la West Virginia. The government is in the process of gutting teacher pension and forcing their careers to extend by 10 years.

It took two years, but finally an admission of wrongdoing by this police department


I don't see anything about him being charged with any sort of crime, though, so we've still got a long ways to go before justice is actually served.

The officers had been responding to a call from a homeless man who said Sterling showed him a weapon after he approached Sterling for money.


Not to justify this sort of behavior, but I can think of a number of gun owners that would gladly flash their weapon if someone they were nervous around approached them asking for something, as a deterrant. That's assuming this actually happened, and that the homeless man was even talking about Sterling to begin with.

If a white man had the police called on them for that, not only do I doubt that the situation would have ended lethally, but even if it had, the policeman responsible would've been behind bars faster than you can say "police brutality"

It's pure hypocrisy - the same people that say everyone should own a gun for self-defense are the same people that justify police brutality towards black people by "he had a gun".

"Our police officers are held to a higher standard," the chief said. "Fear cannot be a driver for an officer's response to every incident. Unreasonable fear in an officer is dangerous."


And yet we hold police to a lower standard in this country - all in the name of "doing their job".

As arbiters of the law, policemen should be held twice as responsible. Any theft, excessive force, grievous injury, or unjustified killing should be met with an increased penalty, not a slap on the wrist. People who uphold the law should not be above it.

And yes, the police should absolutely be scared of killing someone because that is not a decision that should be made lightly. And yet it's made all too lightly, all too callously, and all too often abused in the name of "upholding the peace" - by destroying it.

Absolutely I agree as long as the bolded word above is met.

As long as there is no reasonable justification, a cop should be penalized to the fullest extent possible as there is no excuse for them to not be aware of the laws.

Republicans don't want what he wants though . The Trump bill only got 39 votes. The only bills that got over 50 votes were DACA for border security type deals. Trump wants to throw in crazy limits on legal immigration, which is why he can't make a deal.
