What pissed you off today?

[Martina]

I am still so pissed off about that police shooting in Dallas. I truly hope the trigger happy cop spends her next two decades in prison. She really doesn't deserve to even be here when that wonderful young man is not. I saw a pic of her in FB standing next to someone in an All Lives Matter t-shirt. That translates as I. A racist fuck, and the cops should be able to shoot whomever they like with no consequences. Well, she better fucking get consequences. A Black man can't be in his own home without a trigger happy cop shooting him him dead. I have such anger over this. I truly truly hope most of her future is spent in prison.

Many years ago in San Diego, I discovered something I'd never known about modern apartments. At about 10:30 one night I heard someone at my door. I watched the door handle turn and in walked a complete stranger, having used a key to gain access to my unit. He was stunned. I was stunned. Turned out he'd gotten off on the wrong floor (there were only 3 so WTH.) He was in the same unit on the 3rd floor.

I call the management office the next day. They only had 4 basic keys for the entire 300+ unit complex. Odds of someone else having the key to your front door was 1 in 4. It's very common in newer buildings. Apartments built prior to the 1970s or 1980s have unique locks because apparently they cared about their tenant's safety more than the convenience of having fewer keys to create.

What I can't get over is that she didn't recognize the fact that the furniture in that apartment wasn't hers. And just how did she not realize before she opened the door that she wasn't at the right apartment? And what gives her the right to shoot someone she thinks is in her apartment when she isn't in it? Stand your ground or whatever stupid interpretation each state may have doesn't apply if you're not actually in your home or on your property.

What a senseless, stupid thing to happen.

The door was not locked, and it was dark in the apartment. But outside in the lit hallway was a red doormat that she didn't have. To give her the benefit of the doubt, she was shocked. But she was by the door. She could have stepped out, run and called for help. Her first instinct was to shoot. That used to not be the way cops were trained. She's only been on the job less than five years, and this is the second person she has shot. The first was when she was on the job, and he survived. He was Latino, based on his name.

The way we train police has to change. And if there is a young officer who has shot someone, maybe retrain her or him intensively.

I think it's down to police training. I also bet you money she could tell he was Black. And I bet she is a racist piece of trash. There needs to be some fairly thorough assessment of police to see if they come in with a lot of bias. My bet is this Dallas white girl whose friends wear All Lives Matter t-shirts is a racist asshole. Black men and children are not fucking safe in this country. We need to send a message and lock this stupid trigger happy piece if shit cop up for decades. The message needs to be, you shoot an innocent person, you can kiss your freedom goodbye.

Now she says the door was ajar and that he didn't comply to her verbal commands. Bullshit. One neighbor supposedly heard knocking. Whatever. She should have backed out and called 911. I heard the grand jury could recommend more than manslaughter.

I’m pissed at my body. Today I found out it is a stage 4 cancer and they believe it has affected my liver also.

I’m ready to kick this cancer in the ass big time. I have my dukes up and ready to knock a block off
