Sotomayor, naturally, dissents.

For generations, black and brown parents have given their children “the talk”— instructing them never to run down the street; always keep your hands where they can be seen; do not even think of talking back to a stranger—all out of fear of how an officer with a gun will react to them. See, e.g., W. E. B.Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk (1903); J. Baldwin, The

Fire Next Time (1963); T. Coates, Between the World and Me (2015).

There's been a history of police brutality against 'browns'? Huh?

"The Department of Justice recently reported that in the town of Ferguson, Missouri, with a population of 21,000, 16,000 people had outstanding warrants against them. Ferguson Report, at 6, 55."

Ljl at a town with 76% of its residents having outstanding warrants against them.

"Writing only for myself, and drawing on my professional experiences, I would add that unlawful “stops” have severe consequences much greater than the inconvenience sug­ gested by the name."

Just wait til there are 5 or more of these kinds of justices on the court for the next 40+ years. Fuck, America is done here.

And the real issue is that she's starting to realize that she can't distinguish herself intellectually, so we're just going to see more of this.

Meanwhile, enjoy litigating your case against the nursing home that killed your mom (after 72-IQ Enrique accidentally swapped out her IV bag with windshield wiper fluid) in front of Arbitrator Hank Jones (who's also a partner at JonesGoldberg insurance defense firm) because of an FAA clause on the back of the emergency contact form she filled out at intake.

Also caught this line:

I do not doubt that most officers act in “good faith” and

do not set out to break the law.

Why the scare quotes around good faith? There's no citation to anything.

The officer did not suspect that Strieff had done

anything wrong. Strieff just happened to be the first

person to leave a house that the officer thought might

contain “drug activity.” App. 16–19.

Moreover, there is no indication that this unlawful stop was part of any systemic or recurrent police misconduct. To the contrary, all the evidence suggests that the stop was an isolated instance of negligence that occurred in connection with a bona fide investigation of a suspected drug house.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3260724&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310864#30750164)

The officer had a reason to be watching the house (drug sales) and went to investigate someone who left the house after a short period of time (indicative of a transaction).

Your scenario is a blatant dragnet set up with no prior evidence that criminal activity had been taking place.

what the spicy latina and other libs are pissed about is that the criminal element are frequently up to no good and often are in violation of the law and currently wanted. and it just ain't fair that a cop can look into suspicious activity and subsequently ascertain the fact that you're wanted, arrest you, and WHOOPS, uncover evidence of additional crimes (in this case drugs...which the officer suspected all along).

the majority opinion doesn't really concede that, but just says assuming it's true, it doesn't matter with the other facts of the case

Instead they merely turn from the menacing WHITE MAN, hands held straight up in a frozen pose, and run down the street like an autistic track star on fire.

Because that's just the HISTORY and CULTURE of our SOCIETY: niggers scared shitless of bourgeois white libs, submissvely pissing down their legs whenever a violent alpha xo shitlawyer on an okcupid wine bar date decides to mug and rape them in the alleyways of DC or Brooklyn.

Between the Racist World and Ta Coates

By Alfonso Dupont on July 24, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

Ta Coates is one of the great thinkers of the 21st century. Don't agree? Then you're on the wrong side of history.

Ta has written a book for the ages, chronicling such fascinating episodes as dating, doing poorly in academics because of racism, reading comic books, the racism of attractive white women he has asked out, what it was like to be in a down low relationship with Matt Yglesias for five months, cartoons, and the phenomenon known as "muhdik". Between the World and Me (a brilliant title that counterbalances the entire world with Ta Coates' genius) ranks with the Confessions of St. Augustine, if St. Augustine had done poorly in school and mostly just watched television and read comic books during his formative years. In fact St. Augustine is a rather trivial figure in Western history that you don't need to have heard of, he never even influenced society through highly praised magazine columns, and his books are very boring compared to reading about the adventures of men in colorful skin tight costumes.

During a long and rambling eighth chapter, Ta discusses his brave decision to disable comments on his blog. He shows how talking back to a highly paid media personality is an example of "punching down", employing a series of stories which usually involve noting that people who have promoted him are actually racist and did so only because they expected him to fail. There's also a moving account of how he literally wept on discovering how to turn on Microsoft Word's spelling and grammar checker.

As A.O.Scott has observed, Between Ta World and Me is "essential, like water or air", a truism you'd have to be a real hate-in-your-soul racist to deny. As a matter of fact, people who are too racist to read and enjoy this brilliantly spelled and grammar-checked volume are expected to die very soon because this book is literally essential, like water or air. An edition in which all of the book's passages are placed as dialogue between comic book heroes Black Lightning and Luke Cage is said to be in the works.

Like Ta's 14-year-old son, you may not be interested in reading through the many spelling and grammar corrected pages of this book, but even just having it on your bookshelf is important until the forthcoming graphic novel version arrives. How will they know you're not a racist otherwise? I personally enjoy reading it while enjoying water and air, two things that like this book are essential. Thus I give it the first star rating of excellence.
