Captain George Brown : "If you don't wanna get raped by cops, don't get pulled over in the first place..."

In yet another case of victim-blaming, an Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer and an Oklahoma City Police officer have been accused of repeatedly raping women in recent months. Just last week, a Tulsa County sheriff's deputy was arrested for sexually assaulting a woman after responding to a 911 call. So, what did Captain George Brown have to say about all of this? What were his words of wisdom to women? He lent KJRH (and women everywhere) this piece of advice:

"He [the captain] says the best tip that he can give is to follow the law in the first place so you don't get pulled over."

There we have it. If a woman gets raped by a cop, it's really her own fault for getting pulled over in the first place. What Captain Brown is essentially saying is this:

"Girls, ladies, the women, or whatever you call yourselves anymore, look - as officers of the law, while it's our job to protect the people from law-breakers and arrest those that break the law, we aren't subject to these same kinds of rules. So, I mean, if you do 55 in a 45 and we pull you over for it - for breaking the law - then, well, we may break the law too, especially if our wives aren't giving us any back home. That's the way of the law and the law is the law, except for us. So, yeah, don't get pulled over and you won't get raped. It's as simple as that."

With that kind of logic, expect Captain Brown to utter the following words of advice at some point:

- "Mexicans, if you don't want us to try deporting you back to Mexico, then stop it with those Speedy Gonzales accents. If you don't use that accent, we won't suspect you're Mexican and try sending you back to where you belong. Capiche?"

- "Muslims, I'm not racist or whatever you want to call it, but you scare the hell out of me. I pretty much know, I mean think, or think I know, that you're all terrorists. So, if you don't want us to send you in for questioning with the FBI because we think you're with al Kiki or ISM or something or another, then cut it out with those Muslimmy outfits you got going on there. Go to the GAP or something! Geez!"

- "The blacks, you always complain that we're targeting you or something. That's not true! All you need to do is stop wearing those hoodies, baggy pants, stop putting your hands in your pockets, even if it's 20 degrees outside, and not hang around a bunch of other black kids. Also, don't dress up too nice, drive a nice car, listen to music loudly, or at all, and if you could, just don't be so dark. I guarantee, if you do all of that, we won't follow you around so much with our trigger fingers ready. Is that really too much to ask?"

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
