A comedy of errors

·

Almost ten years ago, Dave Chappelle walked away from his hit Comedy Central TV show and $50 million dollars, in part because his audience didn’t “get it.”Chappelle wanted us to laugh at racism, but too many of us were laughing with it.It’s a common problem in comedy: the artist’s intent can get lost in the space between the stage and the audience, leaving listeners to create their own meaning.

Letter to the Editor: United police States of America

Ferguson, Missouri’s police department has released its report on the Aug. 9th shooting death of teenager Michael Brown, a redacted document that American Civil Liberties Union attorney Tony Rothert says violates Missouri’s Sunshine Law by omitting key information.Brown’s death at the hands of a Ferguson police officer provoked impassioned demonstrations and debates on police brutality and the very nature of policing in the United States, leading many observers to wonder if Americans are now living in a full-fledged police state.But what is a “police state?” The phrase has become an almost commonplace feature of our conversation on police violence and militarization, a convenient way to give voice to growing fears about deteriorating civil liberties.
