Dear Director and Attorneys General On or about June 29, 2015 I found myself compelled to write to Director Comey. I was, at least in part, responding to the Director’s springtime address at Georgetown University. While I found some common ground with the Director, I took exception to his omissions...

Prodigal: adjective 1. wastefully   or   recklessly   extravagant: prodigal   expenditure. 2. giving   or   yielding   profusely;   lavish   (usually   followed   by   of   or   with ): prodigal   of   smiles;   prodigal   with   money. 3. lavishly   abundant;   profuse: nature's   prodigal   resources.

We agreed that in doing so she would risk being shot at while trying to get to that place. (I do not recall any such discussion where I was concerned.) Nowadays neither of us go out at night, at least not alone. I rarely do so at daytime either. So now, if I did not misread your article,  we have cops complaining that they can't shoot every Black that they come upon after traffic stops; for fear of the press and the public. What is the world coming to? A...
