Today's cop shooting of an unarmed black man - who, for a change, survived - is Charles Kinsey, a therapist caregiver at a home for mentally disabled adults. He was talking to a severely autistic man who had run away from said home when the cops showed up and barricaded themselves behind a car.

Mr. Kinsey, being no fool, lied down and put his hands in the air. He is FLAT ON HIS BACK and telling the pigs involved who he was, what his job was, what was going on, and that the man next to him is not armed, that what's in his hands is a toy truck. And he's also trying - verbally - to calm down his charge.

So they shoot Mr. Kinsey, then run up, flip him over, and handcuff him with three sets of handcuffs.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT TAKE FOR THIS SHIT TO START TO MATTER?

Trump wants to purge the civil service, following the steps of pretty much every would-be dictator and strongman leader.
