This is Why You Should Always Videotape the Police

"I now have a policy to film every police officer that stops to avoid being brutally beaten and arrested for no reason." Cheers Nates Vlogs! This is how its done. If you choose to record the police you can reduce the risk of terrible legal consequences and video loss by understanding your state’s laws and carefully…

Hilarious and all kinds of messed up.

Angry Humanist vs White Privilege and Media Bias

White privilege allows a killer to be "humanized" after a rampage. The flip side? Gun downed unarmed black people get the villain treatment. In court, white privilege has the media and the judge asking, "What did society do wrong? Why have we failed this person"? In contrast, the dead black victim is put on trial and the world asks, "Why couldn't he/she just conform? What was the thug doing before they go shot, probably something bad, right? When and if they gun me down in the streets, I wonder what my media treatment will be? I'm almost certain that "angry", the favorite word of those who disagree with me, will be in large bold letters on my Main Stream Media obituary. I'll be buried in so many hateful words and stereotypes you could hold my funeral right where I fell. In both life and death, I'll be labeled a menace, and the headlines will tell the world, "Good Riddance."

Much Ado About Looting

The complaints about looting always seem to take center stage after the death of an unarmed black person at the hands of "law" enforcement. Strange how a Quiktrip matters more than a child executed in the street. Michael Brown is gone forever. There's no bringing him back. That Quiktrip doesn't breathe, it doesn't eat, and it had no potential to be anything more than a fill-up station that sells high calorie garbage, cigarettes, overpriced water, and fountain drinks. So pardon me while I continue grieving for yet another senseless loss of life at the hands of a racist fraternity of gun-wielding lunatics and not for a damned petrol station.

"If talking back to police were sufficient to justify being shot and killed, not only I but more whites than are willing to admit it, would be pushing up dandelions by now. Time to tell our stories. Of law-breaking, of blatant disrespect for authority, of straight-up criminal behavior that would have landed our black and brown brothers and sisters in jail (or the grave) long ago. #FacingPrivilege"
