    Require non-white references if the community has a significant non-white population.

    Someone at ABC7 has a sense of humor calling abuse by the LAPD "shocking."

    Welcome to the force. Your training officer has 18 complaints against him. And you’ll catch a murder charge the first week on the job thanks to him.

    Shaq and Chuck being highly charitable in saying Drew Brees made a mistake. Kenny and Ernie not quite there.

    Brees is a liked and respected guy and I think a lot of his NFL peers let his retrograde opinions slide because they respect him. Then he went over the line and they reacted accordingly. He promptly apologized. IMO he gets to do that.

    About those government claims that it didn’t use CS or riot rounds Monday night at Lafayette Park … sometimes journalism involves picking up debris on the ground and reading it.

    The armed robbery thing is made up bullshit that Candace Owens put out.

    What's wrong with you?

    I timed my pregame bathroom runs to coincide with someone butchering the anthem.

    Wait … did he intend to say “no person of color has been killed by police”?

    Michael-
    Brees does not have the best judgment with these things.

    He popped off in a similar awareness-lacking way years back when the team was punished for the bounties.

    As Shannon Sharpe said, if a guy who grew up in locker rooms with black athletes from youth on through the NFL doesn't get it, there's not much hope of the message being understood.
