[…] /SB, Abeque, and all the indigenous peoples: Thanks for posting your concerns. I knew very little about this pipeline. However I did more reading and what I have read really concerns me. […]

[…] Zen Lill, Helena, et al: This write interested me. Although we will never know what was truly said when thugs with guns shoot black men because unfortunately they appear to shoot to kill, leaving the cop and his/her fellow officers as the only ones able to give an account of the story. […]

Helena, nor much offends me, I manage to keep on my big girl panties regardless of what goes on here. But thank you for saying that. & Yes in those moments I thought I’m maybe going to die young today bc I made a dumb move that got her suspicious of what I may have been digging for in the glove box?? And I couldn’t really blame her, it’s a known sketchy area.

I guess not much has changed in 40 years and that’s just wrong when an attorney would say something like that in 2016.

Vanessa, true enough though training is great on the right emotional temperament to begin with, apparently we’ve been recruiting a lot of the wrong temperament.

Carlos, I’ve been to Hanoi Hilton, they display the jumpsuit mccain was wearing when captured. Other than that I’m amazed anyone made it out of there alive.

/SB I’ve read what you’ve posted before and I’ll watch this video too, I’m just not fully up to speed in all of it to comment further yet but I’m glad you are putting here to educate me and everyone else on this.

I’m glad the blog is finally addressing the Dakota pipeline protest. I posted about this in the past and even asked Michelle if she would cover it. I know she’s very busy but perhaps now she might ? in the meantime this video explains what it’s all about – what’s behind the largest gathering of Native Americans in 100 years.

Zen Lill#22, I hope I didn’t offend you that was not my intention. I’m sorry you had to experience that kind of terror. I have been there and I don’t wish it one. I was arrested for attempted assault upon a police officer.

I was allowed to accept a plea bargain in which I had to agree not to testify against the officers who murdered my brother to get the assault charges dropped.

My family and our white lawyer told me to because the said that regardless of my testimony, no white cop would be convicted on the word of a “nigger.” He smiled and said I’m sorry that’s just the way it is.

I guess 40 plus years later nothing has changed.
