Cops having to deal with many bad people on a daily basis, in a country of 330 million, will inevitably lead to a few outrageous cases. Similarly writing code inevitably leads to b…

Ignoring for a moment that the position the police had George in is standard for restraining a person and that George may have died from underlying heart conditions... Without the …

That video is a 5 second long anecdote. Regardless, the woman was probably told to move and was refusing. When you disobey riot police in a riot situation that's what happens and I…

Genuine unprovoked and unnecessary police brutality incidents are incredibly rare (relative to all police interactions) and hardly an epidemic. When someone is breaking the law and…

I actually am trending towards the view that once a social network reaches a certain size, all users must register their real identities with the network owner to maintain their ac…

I'm sorry but you're just completely wrong. The police kill far more unarmed whites than blacks each year. And all of these incidents, whether the victims are black or white, are o…

While it may be tempting to jump to a racial interpretation of the arrest, it appears that the CNN reporters were just standing in the wrong place and in the chaos of the moment we…

What is far more disturbing than a reporter ignoring police orders and facing the repercussions is that a city is burning from mindless violence, this violence encouraged by a medi…

Staying focused on the actual details of the tweet that spurred this order, Twitter's response highlights the problems inherent with content moderation. There are hundreds of docum…
