    Three of the people framed by this detective pleaded guilty to crimes they did not commit. This is not extraordinary. Innocent people plead guilty all the time. The system of mass incarceration is predicated on it.

    A police officer wearing a t-shirt with a white supremacist symbol & the grim reaper holding a rifle & police badge seen in DC Superior Court is just part of a larger phenomenon of white supremacists working within police departments across the US.

    Yesterday, the president defended Nazis marching with tiki torches in Charlottesville, chanting, "Jews will not replace us" and "Blood and Soil." Today, a White man shot up a Synagogue in Poway, California, killing one person and injuring four.

    Remember how Hillary Clinton gave those paid speeches to Wall Street bankers and wouldn't release the transcripts? I guess at least Joe Biden isn't pretending to be something he's not.
