    It’s not Twitter. It’s the board website. I have the same problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

    Miami is having some riots and shooting fireworks at the same time. Sounds like a war going on in the city.

    Nothing to see here, just the former head of the WA GOP retweeting this...

    Lady what the fuck are you talking about?

    I never said all the rioters were out of town. I said the exact opposite.

    If you open them in a new window, they should play even if you don't have a Twitter account.

    I don't think there's any way of posting a Twitter video other than linking to the tweet itself.

    It is a traditional thing to wear a black band around your badge when an officer has died but that officer was covering up his badge number to hide who he is from any film evidence.

    Or they're just stupid. NYPD has lost tens of thousands to 9/11 diseases, not to mention day-to-day casualties. It's a rare week when this population of 55,000+ isn't mourning somebody.

    SPD is saying neither of the two stolen rifles were fired but it certainly sounds like it.

    I'm disappointed and saddened that nobody refenced this song yet:

    I'm not on-scene and, if anyone is there I hope they clarify, but I see NYPD pushing people back, period. Was anyone hurt? Can anyone clarify? Thank you!

    If you haven’t seen the video of the guy with the arrow, it’s pretty hysterical. Dude pulls up in a parking lot, gets out, fumbles with his bow and arrow, says “All lives matter,” and manages to put an arrow into the leg of someone. At which point the crowd descends on him and proceeds to beat his ass.
