"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Sounds like they've actually got a prosecutor, unlike on the Mke Brown deal.

God, they're going to show the video now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am reminded of the hats I wore every day in the winter....as far as the corner of my street. It is not that hard to get over on your parents!

I used to cheerfully take the lunches my mother made me, which generally consisted of jerky and other prepackaged food, and then trade them for other kids' sandwiches.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

My god. Glad he was indicted, but damn. Damn.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Going back to the far less exciting change your name/change your email conversation - can't they let someone have two email addresses and make the new one the default? We already kind of have two listed if you look someone up in Contacts - FirstNameLastInitial@Company.com and FirstNameLastInitial@apps.Company.com, so why not FirstNameNewLastInitial@Company.com also?

The ERP username, maybe they can't change, but that's harder to decipher anyway and if it was linked to the new email address it would be less confusing.

I mean, we have so many Jennifers, if you can't tell which one you are talking about by last initial/name (some of them get full names in their email addresses because they share initials) it really can be a mess sending stuff to the wrong people.

Our prosecutor is actually a total asshole. I think he's spinning the indictment hard to place all blame on this one rogue cop to prevent rioting. Which I think is actually the truth, in this case, but I have no faith in the fundamental honesty of Deters. What's expedient just happened to be true, this time.

He's a bag of dicks.

That video is pretty bad. The cop straight up shot the driver in the head when he refused to get out of the car. He told the driver to take his seatbelt off and then literally shot him in the head 2 seconds later.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Reading all this at once was an adrenaline kick. I'm honestly surprised there was an indictment, even more so that they're treating him like a murderer and not rallying around to "protect their own".

Let's hope the video being as damning as it seems like it must be will lead to a swift conviction. And even more than that,this will be the beginning of the end of all these damn unjustified shootings, or at least a significant reduction.

May this be true.

May there not be riots.

How have we not reached the point where even people like this realize that they are most likely being videoed? I mean, how do police not know by now that you can pretty much count on there being someone around with a camera phone, even if you don't have dashboard cameras rolling.

The video in this case is in fact the police officer's body cam. So he was wearing the video.

I don't think I want to watch it.
