If it doesn't fit into a particular board's description, it goes in The Lounge. Derp.

Damn near everything in the news except for kim kardashian is political.

Certainly ferguson is political, the entire cops are killing us meme is explicitly political.

I think it's being shamefully politicized, for sure, on equally despicable levels from both the pro- and anti-gun lobbies, but I don't think it's a political issue at all. It's a civil issue. Whether the police have too much power, not enough power, are unfairly targeting minorities, etc are all civil issues. Now yes, politicians have been weighing in and there has been newly-proposed legislature as a result of the Ferguson shooting in particular (i.e. policemen and women wearing cameras as standard dress), but I really don't feel this is a political issue at its core. Ferguson maybe, but not this particular tragedy.
