"By all accounts, Brown was One Of The Good Ones. But laying all this out, explaining all the ways in which he didn't deserve to die like a dog in the street, is in itself disgraceful. Arguing whether Brown was a good kid or not is functionally arguing over whether he specifically deserved to die, a way of acknowledging that some black men ought to be executed."

We've been indoctrinated to the militarization of our police forces. It's become a fact of life here in America. We criticize those who fail to act accordingly.

Priorities, mate. You are what you eat, that's the foundation for me. Never miss a chance to sleep. Work is the biggest drain. It's unreasonable.
