This pence guy looks pretty solid.
Polls are looking a bit better as well again. The trump train is back on track to crush crooked Hillary in November.

Not if we assume that they selected the best applicant every time, regardless of race, that diversity for the sake of diversity has no value and that public perception is unimportant. But even then it's a stunningly poor PR move.

Did you see the picture? Look at the picture. That is a stunningly non-diverse group of people. I am not accusing them of racism or anything, but the complete lack of effort to diversify is obvious. And as Kwark said, at the very least, a PR disaster.

This is what happens when you assume public outrage will enable over-aggressive verdicts. They should have played it safe, got someone's head on a somewhat platter and declared victory.

Or you can work to get a police force that is actually responsible for its actions so that you don't have people dying while being transported chained up in a police van with no one being responsible.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

It was ruled a homicide, but somehow no one is responsible. Can't imagine why there's so little faith in the "justice" system.

to nitpick: legally, the word homicide does not imply a killer is criminally at fault, it just means someone killed someone

executions are homicides

If we don't have enough power to convict at least one person of homicide, how much ability do you think they have to create change/reform? The police are (sadly) invincible here. There needs to be direct legislation to tackle this. Systematically, police accountability is extremely lacking. They aren't going to change that willingly. Going to need to rip it from them.

I don't really know what you're trying to say about gay or military women here. I haven't found the 'most military women are lesbos' stereotype to be true in my experience.

Fraternization and unprofessional relationships (such as those between a superior and a subordinate) are strictly prohibited in any case.

Yeah, someone killed him while he was in police custody and it appears it's not criminal. Again, can't imagine why people don't trust that system.

I completely agree, it ties into the whole 'Police are not accountable' issue that is a systematic problem in the US.

I am saying that most women i met when i was in the military were self declared gay, not that i thought they were boyish and gay. And your experience may differ, that's why i said in my experience in the first place.

About the second point, and i don't know how it is on the US army,, since you can ask to move to a different unit so you are not in direct subordination, which is what she did and here it is fine (same for marriages), and i doubt the US army is less progressive in that regard.

You doubt the US army is less progressive?

Haven't followed the Gray case closely, interested in general info about it though, if anyone watched parts of the trials/has seen good analyses of it. Did the prosecution do a good job? or was it inept? Did it seem like the problem was getting past the reasonable doubt point?
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.

Not only is this morally reprehensible on all levels, but I'm pretty sure this is highly illegal. I bet none of this mob is held responsible for this shit either.
