Like They Said
Jul. 22nd, 2016 09:13 amI tried to watch Trump's acceptance speech last night. I got maybe five minutes in, to the point where he would wave his magic wand on Inauguration Day and Make It All Better, when, in the interests of not damaging my TV screen, I shut off the device. Herewith, I'll point you at a pair of articles and just say "like they said."
Like they said - Jim Hines on the latest stupid police shooting. At some point (well in the past) one has to stop calling these random accidents and consider them a pattern.
Also like they said - the real costs of the practice of the investigatory vehicle stop, the vehicular equivalent of the stop-and-frisk. This is where a cop pulls you over for little or no reason and engages in a fishing expedition to see if they can charge you with something. It's a modestly kinder version of the Gestapo "papers please" drill.
