An all-white jury (with two Black alternates) for the trial of three white St. Louis cops charged with beating their Black colleague, who was undercover as a protester.
St. Louis cops brutalized a bunch of protesters that night, but only the cops who accidentally beat up their own colleague actually got charged. stltoday.com/news/local/cri…
“let’s whoop some ass."

“it’s gonna be a lot of fun beating the hell out of these shitheads once the sun goes down and nobody can tell us apart.”

Pre-pandemic, I’d planned to cover this trial myself. But the next best thing is reading @rxpatrick’s coverage. Give him a follow.

NEW: Robert Scott Palmer’s attorney says his client wasn’t aware he was on the FBI’s Capitol wanted list until HuffPost gave him a ring.

“He certainly became aware of it, maybe during the conversation with you guys.”

#FloridaFlagJacket #SeditionHunters
huffpost.com/entry/florida-…
Palmer, his attorney said, is a “true believer” who regrets his actions on Jan. 6 and is “trying to do the right thing now.”

Palmer retained his lawyer shortly after HuffPost’s story ran.

huffpost.com/entry/florida-…
Palmer and his attorney are “are on opposite ends of the spectrum” politically (his attorney mentioned his photo with former President Obama on his office), but he described him as a "decent guy” who is “regretful and remorseful.” huffpost.com/entry/florida-…

“Stay off the clouds! They are how they are screwing with us,” the father of a woman charged in connection with the insurrection said IN A MESSAGE OVER FACEBOOK.
Not syncing the new iPhone you purchased after the insurrection to your iCloud really isn’t gonna cut it if you already left an extensive digital trail all over Facebook. extremism.gwu.edu/sites/g/files/…
Always appreciate the FBI affidavits that provide a direct link to the defendant's still-active Facebook page instead of making me seek it out.

.@jbouie on @TheWarOnCars talking about his Tern GSD ebike? That's an immediate click for me.
$4K is A LOT for a bike if you think of it as a bike. But if it replaces a second car, it’s the much more economical choice.

I haul two kids all around town and pay nothing — zero, zip, zilch, nada — on insurance/parking for an ebike that, unlike our car, is already paid off.
A cargo ebike is MUCH BETTER than a car in many situations. It opens up the city to families in a way a car never could.

I’ve second-guessed our decision to purchase a new car that we’re still paying off.

Our cargo ebike, on the other hand, is the best purchase we’ve ever made.
