I don't know if I can really blame officers if a guy is standing like this after reaching in his pocket.

Maybe he was just wanting to play 'pretend lightsaber battle' and was re-enacting the scene wherein Obi-Wan gives himself up for the others to 'escape'.

Here's a good article on that, written by a Muslim:

Couldn't get past the reference to "slut shaming" (Seriously)

Well, isn't the whole "modesty" thing really just slut-shaming on steroids?

I'll say this again, I don't want to stop any goof from wearing a religious headscarf (I think covering one's face is another matter) or a silly "bathing suit", but doing so is a rejection of values that most Americans embrace. I'd liken it to a confederate flag shirt. I don't want to stop anyone from wearing one, but doing so tells us where that fucker is coming from.

I know they don't but when I picture those caps you guys bought at the Trump rally I imagine confederate flags on them.

That one moment is really why I dislike her. She is reacting as if she is hearing the words for the first time when in reality they are months old and provided to the reader by her.

One story that I don't think has gotten too much attention is the police shooting of those who are mentally ill or mentally different. I guess it is hard to judge whether someone who is acting erratically is going to be violent....but coming from a family that has been touched by autism and mental illness, this worries me. What might seem dangerous to a cop might not be....the novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time deals with this issue a bit....

I think this is like the 4th time this year I've heard about the police shooting or attempting to shoot a person with a mental illness. What stands out is that in each case a loved one or a caregiver called for assistance.
