Of course that is no consolation to this week's tragedy du jour.

The WSJ story (I didn't read it but I'm assuming it was predictable) was tone deaf, but it is true that the guy being arrested is an improvement compared to the 60s. Of course, police forces themselves are still mega-racist, and to paraphrase Mr. Wolf from PF, "let's not start sucking each others dicks over this pathetic 'improvement.'"

Separate question: Why does anyone pay attention to the results in these bullshit states anymore? It's no longer true that momentum gained from the first few states means anything. I suppose it fills the gaps in a 24 hour news cycle, but come on. Everyone in the world knows Trump is going nowhere fast.
