Trust does work both ways, but we have unequal parties here.
One group is the masses.  You can be more specific than that, but whatever the subset, it's still millions of people.  Random-ass people of all types, even within tiny subgroups.

The other group chose a profession to protect and serve.  They get paid to do so.  They sort of forfeit their anonymity and low expectations by choosing their career. 

And this designation of each group has more to do with the low expectations I have of "the masses" than of being especially rough on police. 
Woosh.

I mean trust between black people, white people and brown people - in general.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

Former Iowa offensive lineman James Daniels Tweeted Friday night that there are racial disparities within the Iowa football program that must be addressed.

“There are too many racial disparities in the Iowa football program,” Daniels Tweeted. “Black players have been treated unfairly for far too long.”

Carbonic maceration is without a doubt one of the cooler phrases in winemaking. It sounds like the name of an epic electronic band or the title of a great sci-fi sequel.

In reality, the term refers to a particular style of fermentation at the winery. Grapes ferment while fully intact and still in their skins, creating an unctuous wine with a low tannin count. These wines are juicy and ready to drink pretty much right when they’re bottled, unlike more conventionally produced wines which require more time to even out.


Carbon dioxide persuades the grapes to ferment and is introduced to tanks and bins to create an anaerobic climate. Whereas more traditional winemaking fermentation banks on yeast and its impact on pressed juice, this approach is full of countless mini-fermentations. Inside every grape, a tiny fermentation is sparked by CO2. Meanwhile, the weight of the fruit naturally presses some of the lower layers of clusters, creating some free run juice (part of the saignée approach).

Yeah, somewhat famed for use in Beaujolais, which incidentally is a very under appreciated wine type (for obvious reasons).  The wine lists at restaurants in Lyon are probably 60% Beaujolais for good reason.  Lyon has some excellent food.

I recall helping out at my bid's wine shop one Saturday when a lady came in asking for Zinfandel and was astonished to discover it was red.  She walked out in a huff.  I sent her to Kroger.  

I went through a zinfandel phase a couple decades ago, I tend not to buy them any more.

So the Park Police say they didn't use "tear gas" ... They used pepper balls which spray a powder that irritates the eyes and cause tears.

Thanks for the clarification.

Buffalo mayor says the 75 year old man was asking for it. He will not be firing the police Officers who shoved him to the ground and cracked his head open.

These local politicians are gutless dweebs who are afraid of losing police union support come election time.

Vox is probably the biggest garbage rag there is next to Buzzfeed. 

CNN/MSNBC/Fox are actually better than those two sites. Which should tell you just how bad they are. I’m surprised Vox and Buzzfeed are even still in business. My guess is both will go under soon.
