Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Unarmed. Lying Down. Hands Up. Care-Giver. Black. Shot By Police.


If you're still clinging to the false notion that cops do not unfairly target black citizens, please read this and watch the short video.  Time to cut the crap with the excuse-making about "All Lives Matter" and "Blue Lives Matter."  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Yet it's the black people who are disproportionately shot and killed.  Luckily, Charles Kinsey is alive, but we obviously have a deeply ingrained policing problem in this country and the right wing is in denial.

  1. The scary thing is this cop is a SWAT team guy. He said he was aiming for the autistic guy but accidently shot the care giver. Liar, pants on fire! Or a real bad shot. But we know most cops seem to hit the 'black' on the target.
