Here’s the *real* reason Baby Groot is Baby Groot in “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2”Hello Giggles Rebecca Vineyard Hello Giggles December 13, 2016 Everyone is losing their minds over Baby Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2, and with good reason. Have you even SEEN his baby tree head, and his big baby tree eyes? He is the cookie-cutter version of adorable, but don’t for a second think that’s why we don’t have adult Groot in the Guardians sequel. In a post on his Facebook page, director James Gunn wrote a long post addressing the belief that Baby Groot is in the film just so Marvel can sell merchandise. “To be honest, when I was first working on the script for Vol. 2 I was planning on it being years after the first movie and for little Groot to be a grown Groot. But there was something missing.” This headline really couldn't be any more true. To be honest, when I was first working on the script for Vol. 2 I was... Nai-post ni James Gunn noong Sabado, Disyembre 10, 2016So, Gunn decided to set the story soon after the events in the first Guardians film. That made Groot young, with a lot to learn. That change of setting opened up the script, and Gunn writes that everything began to fall into place. Gunn admits he was somewhat fearful of bringing some of his ideas to Marvel. “Yes, perhaps it seems like a hole-in-one idea now, but Groot was the most popular character in the first film, and sometimes when something works studios are more than a little reluctant to change.” Luckily, Marvel was on board, and the rest is adorable, adorable history. “I knew if Baby Groot worked, the world would want Baby Groot toys and figures and plushies. But that certainly didn’t seem like a certainty when I was alone in my office conceiving of a story, and it most definitely was not the driving force of the decision.”We’re glad Gunn had a really legit reason for including Baby Groot in the film. Well, we are when our brains can form thoughts that aren’t “AWWWWWWmygosh Baby Groot is adorable!” Because, guys, the struggle is real.

In South Dakota two (2) cops got fired and, prosecuted, for planting evidence on citizens: 
That is a beautiful thing. You should be punished for breaking the law. You idiot. Police Racism is not, illegal, but it is both immoral and unethical plus it deserves sanctioning ---your career as a racist immoral White HISP, cop, does prove this point.

They did not get fired, they resigned. They were not prosecuted, but they could face criminal charges.
You truly are a misfit.

Hundreds Of Cases Under Review After Cops Resign Amid Planted Evidence ClaimDECEMBER 8, 2016 BY ASA J Hundreds of investigations are now under review following the resignation of two Iowa police officers amid accusations that they planted evidence. According to Des Moines police officials, it is believed that Senior Officers Joshua Judge and Tyson Teut planted drugs on a suspect during a January 2015 case that was then passed on to other investigators. The suspect would ultimately be arrested.It is not currently clear what the outcome of the case was, but police Sgt. Paul Parizek said at a news conference on Tuesday that the department was only informed about the incident in question on Friday as the result of a “complaint.” He did not specify who filed it. Judge and Teut reportedly resigned on Monday. The accusation could eventually lead to criminal charges and an internal investigation has already been launched – which will now be tasked with examining hundreds of cases worked on by both of the cops dating back to August 2013 when they each joined the department.“This is going to be a long, very extensive internal investigation. It’s going to be very thorough,” Parizek said at the news conference. “This is the outlier. This is not how our organization is. This is not representative of who we are.” Parizek added that no other officers have been accused of wrongdoing as a result of the allegation, and stipulated that the department will keep the Polk County Attorney’s Office updated as the investigation moves forward. Some are calling for more stringent measures however – like a Dept. of Justice and FBI probe – and say that the outcome of the investigation will have extensive implications for Des Moines. These might even include overturning the convictions of violent criminals who have been prosecuted based on the work of Judge and Teut.It is not clear what prior disciplinary history, if any, the two cops have with the police department. Both collected a salary of $73,132 when they resigned. In addition to being a cop, Judge served (and still currently serves) as a tech sergeant in a security forces squadron in the Iowa Air National Guard. A spokesperson for the Guard said that no action against Judge will be taken until the outcome of the police investigation. Along with criminal charges, both cops also face law enforcement decertification, which would prevent them from working elsewhere in Iowa as police officers.At Tuesday’s news conference, Parizek asserted that “people know they can trust us,” and maintained that if the department probe reveals any policy that might have helped facilitate the officers’ behavior, it will be reviewed and addressed.

Like I said, they should be punished.

What is Police Misconduct?
Police officers engage in misconduct when they violate the law while on the job. But, not every violation of law constitutes police misconduct; a cop who speeds even though he is not in pursuit of a suspect may have broken the law, but that infraction is not police misconduct. Police misconduct involves abuse of the power that officers hold.
Planting drugs or weapons to justify improper actions; misappropriating seized money, drugs, or goods; physically assaulting detainees, and conducting searches without proper cause all constitute police misconduct.

...false information...
Noper. I just wanted to win a, bet, that I made with seven (7) members and readers who enjoyed the recent "...I got asked to aid racism's cop..." thread I created.
I told them I would create this thread and only post the White cops' pics along with a disingenuous result, solely, to predict how you'll ruuuuun here to protect these vile cops by posting the correct chain of events. Something which you never, ever, do when I post disingenuous headlines about darkskin negros so smile for the camera, Doc!
And thanks for winning me, that bet.

So, in far fewer words, you are a liar.
You post lies about black people.
Worse, you post false information for profit.
I hope you enjoyed your 30 pieces of silver, Judas.
Unlike Judas, you don't seem to have any remorse betraying those you claim to love.

Thirty pieces of silver was the price for which Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus, according to an account in the Gospel of Matthew 26:15 in the New Testament.[1] Before the Last Supper, Judas is said to have gone to the chief priests and agreed to hand over Jesus in exchange for 30 silver coins, and to have returned the money afterwards, filled with remorse.

DEC 19, 2016 @ 07:49 PM 377 VIEWS 12 Stocks to Buy for 2017 Diamond Select Reveals The First Collectible Of Mike Colter As Luke CageLuke Y. Thompson , CONTRIBUTOR  For Marvel Studios, merchandising surrounding their Netflix shows has been as tentative as Bruce Banner trying to keep his calm--it's clear that they, or perhaps Disney, haven't been certain how to integrate the more R-rated material into their empire of toys, apparel and everything else. Adding to the hesitation, perhaps, is the fact that so many of the key characters just look like regular people who wear normal clothes. Jessica Jones has no superhero outfit; Luke Cage wore a version of his in one scene as a gag, only to dismiss it; and even Daredevil was just in black sweats for the majority of Season 1. Netflix doesn't release ratings information as such, but tracking estimates by Symphony Advanced Media suggest that "in the 32 days following the release of Luke Cage, 6.34% of "video viewers" aged 18 to 59 were watching the show in an average minute." It outperformed the first weeks of Making a Murderer and Stranger Things, though those shows went on to outperform it over the following 32 days. This was evidently enough to greenlight a second season, which has been announced.  And marketing partners appear to be gaining in confidence. At Comic-Con, Hasbro debuted action figure prototypes of Krysten Ritter's Jessica and Jon Bernthal's Punisher; today, I'm pleased to debut photos of the very first Luke Cage collectible to bear the likeness of actor Mike Colter. The PVC Diorama from Diamond Select Toys measures approximately 10 inches tall and features detailed sculpting and paint applications. You can expect to see it in comic book and other specialty stores next summer for around $45.

‘Marvel's Luke Cage’ Season 2 News: Series Nominated for 2017 NAACP Image AwardBy Diana Truong (staff@latinpost.com)First Posted: Dec 20, 2016 11:01 AM EST  Marvel's "Luke Cage" is in luck for the second time this December. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced Mike Colter as a nominee for its 2017 Image Awards for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series. This comes after news that Netflix will be renewing the superhero series for a second season.The show follows Luke Cage (played by Colter) as he navigates the gang-riddled streets of Harlem as an adolescent and develops into a superhero with extraordinary strength and unbreakable skin. Marvel's "Luke Cage" is the third series in Netflix's Marvel lineup, following "Daredevil and Jessica Jones" and preceding "Iron Fist and The Defenders". As with "Daredevil and Jessica Jones," Netflix will be renewing the show for a second season. In an interview with Vulture, Colter praises the show for promoting alternative ways of thinking about urban African-American men, "We want to show people that there are positive images to be had from black men, especially ones in hoodies."Maureen Ryan, for Variety, praises Colter for portraying "a great deal of soulfulness and intelligence" through his character, while showing "beautifully calibrated shadings of pain and rage." The show's depiction of a bulletproof superhero deadset on saving Harlem cannot come at a better time in racially charged America. Multiple unjust and fatal police intervention against the African-American community, like the Trayvon Martin case, has created an incensed racial climate in the United States. Ryan suggests that Marvel's "Luke Cage" thus provides a cathartic experience for its viewers who can identify with the emotion and complexities of the lead character.On February 11, 2017, American comedian, chef, writer, and host, Anthony Anderson, will announce the winners for the 48th NAACP Image Awards.
