Asked a worker at H&M if they had any parachute pants and she goes, 'oh, they're in the junior's section because they're for younger people.' I smiled, bought 3 pairs and walked out the door like Julia f'ing Roberts.

It’s taken courage to publicly back the blue for the last few years. This week showed us the best of them. And there are many more like Ruge, Elmstrand & Finseth. I hope part of their legacy is to make it OK to openly support law enforcement again. The good ones. They need it.

NBC will not use word ‘riot’ - only ‘protest.’ The words the media chooses are important. Which is why I will call the destructive, criminal actions, riots. The actual protesters deserve better.
