The FedEx thing has always annoyed me when people report on the logo. It’s not some brilliant design, it’s exactly what you get when an “E” and an “x” are next to each other.
Ana’s reaction regarding the monitor or screen, and the position of the camera in the first minute really annoyed me. Her body language seemed to indicate→(“Cant you guys do anything right?”) Cenk’s reaction was really good. I think it is that kind of reaction that would make people working under him feel comfortable, if things weren’t going well. A real leader.
The shooting is almost identical to the Robbie Tolan incident in 2008. Also a black guy in his own driveway at 2AM, except Robbie died and the cop got acquitted. Happened very close to where I live.
Perhaps the police officer had kicked the knife away, instead of the kid?
What was up in the beginning? It looked like Cenk was thinking “Meh, shit happens! :)” while Ana got mad. O.o
Check out Arby’s logo: it’s a dick. With balls. A dick with balls. And Arby’s writen across.
It’s weird and i’m usually against tabloid type stories but I simply must have more Sydney Leathers coverage. I need 24/7 interviews with Sydney Leathers. I just am enjoying detesting her so very much.
The link for the video download is broken on the main archive page. Seems to work from this page though.
thank you so much for the link to the articles !
Regardless of the context, there is ZERO justification for taking 9 shots at somebody. One shot is fine if there is an imminent threat, maybe two, but any more and your objective to clearly to kill the victim, not protect yourself. A police officer who shoots somebody three or more times should be prosecuted for murder.
If I’m ever in legal trouble I’m coming to Cenk
Why do american cops arrive on the scene with their guns out for a theft?
Why indeed?
