In a staggering report last month, the Department of Justice documented pervasive abuse, illegal use of force, racial bias and systemic dysfunction in the Minneapolis Police Department. City police officers engaged in brutality or made racist comments, even as a department investigator rode along in a patrol car. Complaints about police abuse were often slow-walked or dismissed without investigation.

          Ok, how about this: Would you please explain, in specific, non-sarcastic language, what you were trying to say?

          I assume you were trying to make a point, but I guess it’s possible you were just typing random words.

        You know, you have a point. Not a single person on here likes the taste of the boot. So much for diversity, I guess.
