I am squeamish. *very*. To give you an idea of how much, the pukey icon on here sometimes makes me feel a little nauseous. Tonight, I had dinner with one of my besties, a once staunch Republican, turned independent thanks to yours truly, and Dick Cheney, and then Democratic, thanks to yours truly, President Obama and Mitt Romney.
The daughter of a BPD detective, we met while in college working at the same bar. We are both Daddy's girls. Our mothers are equal amounts of cray cray. We bonded instantly over this. I was her maid of honor. I also helped her through the divorce. We held each other's hands through losing both of our Dads. Anyhoo, she is now an Assistant State's Attorney, and certainly on the right side of the aisle regarding crime. (lock 'em all up, they're criminals, and by "them", she does not just mean black people. She means *everyone*)
So we're at dinner and she's all, "If they don't obey command, blah, blah, blah" and I'm all, "If command is, 'DROP THE GUN' but you're only holding a cell phone, there is no way to 'obey command' at all, blah, blah, blah" and she's all, "they can be a threat to the po po blah blah blah" and I'm all, "they know what to say on the camera, like when they are beating a person upside his head and saying things like, "stop reaching for my gun" and the person is not doing anything other than getting an ass whooping blah blah blah" and she's all, "They don't do that" and I'm all "Yes they do, and they have done that, and most times, they are doing this to black people" and she's all, "Prove it" and I know this happens, but I am all squeamish.
So any help any of you can give would be greatly appreciated.
