• Police “expert witness”: It was “illogical” for innocent Black teen ^[pictured] to run away from cops who nearly beat him to death. Un-fucking-believable.

• Maine cop writes letter begging colleagues not to retaliate against other officers who busted him for drunk driving. It’s sadly telling that such a plea needs to be made in the first place.

• Los Angeles voters to decide whether condoms should be required in porn films. I thought they already were.

• Ridiculously childish political squabble of the day: South Carolina Democrats upset over Gov. Haley’s proposed cheery state agency phone greeting.
