Now, children, raise your hands if you can imagine Black protesters being welcomed at Das Kapital by cops the way that they welcomed Trump's White supporters today. Keep holding 'em up, while I count. That's what I thought. I might be wrong about this. But I'm not. Source: Politico, January 6, 2021

Two more Pigs self-immolate. That’s two less blights on the profession.
The day is just full of good news, isn't it? And whadda surprise: one of the porkers is from Alabama. But don't blame me, I'm just the piano player. This is reported by Fox News of all things, on Nov. 6, 2020. (If that rag reports it, you know it's disreputable conduct.) The Fox article …

Texas sheriff and county attorney indicted for destroying, concealing evidence in homicide by cop
It's only an indictment, people. And it's Texas. And Javier Ambler, the man killed by sheriff's deputies, was Black. So no worries: the sheriff and the county lawyer will surely be found innocent of all charges. After the November election. The collaboration in the cover-up involved two county government offices working together to protect cops. …
