A big part of white privilege is being able to blend in. I can go anywhere in this country at any time and not have to worry really; as long as I conform to the norm. Thinking back on my life there are many experiences I could never have had if I was black as I would not have been able to blend. “Blue” people don’t realize that they can take off their uniform and become just like the rest of us after their shift ends. They don’t have to tell anyone they’re a police officer when they’re off duty because they won’t look like one. But POC can’t take off their skin. It seems they will always have a tougher life because of the pigment that they were born with. “Blue lives matter” my ass. Fuck off with that. Cops deal with shit like that on shift. Black people have to deal with that for their entire lives.

The duty to provide public services is owed to the public at large, and, absent a special relationship between the police and an individual, no specific legal duty exists. Holding that no special relationship existed between the police and appellants in No. 79-6, Judge Hannon concluded that no specific legal duty existed. Now that this country is waking up to police brutality, it's time to use Judge Hannon's conclusion via police reform. Though I don't know what that would look like, it's certainly worth discussing.  I used to get pulled over a lot in my 20s because I was a long haired male who just happened to like tie dye and other colorful attire. These were two big no-nos in rural PA. I've been pulled over a handful of times for absolutely no reason and a handful of times for nonsense reasons. So eventually I cut my hair and started wearing plain colors and bringing my tie dye along to change in to. Problem solved. Black people can never fade out of the spotligh

That woman came up with that speech while sitting there listening to Karens? Give her a damn award. Her speech was great, especially on such short notice like that!! To the point, clear, and the conclusion was great. I just googled the girl in the video's name and found her public insta where she posted the unedited version. Idk how this sub feels about posting social media links so I won't, but it's in her recent posts. I'm just here to say the post you're replying to says it was made 11 minutes after your reply. You're a time wizard. Blue heart was an amazing touch but the Karen behind is probably bombarded by the previously much simpler words to understand that. If this doesn't boil the blood of people who have been silent, I don't know what else will.

Reminds me of the guy who made this amazing video on people not being comfortable wearing their MAGA hats. Same concept, same bs, from probably the same people who feel like they’re being oppressed and getting a tiny fraction of a taste of what others actually have to go through throughout their life. From religion to cops, white supremacist, corporate supremacy, etc. all of these groups that are losing a fraction of the 100% fealty they've had are now feeling attacked. It's amazing watching them crumble into hysterics because they can't have 100% of what they want anymore. Growing up I used to fight a lot with my dad but the second I'd start speaking my side I'd cry.

Here's a bonus from a school board meeting this week. This guy is against changing the name of high school from Robert E Lee. There's also another weird rant later on. Where I work we write the guests' name on the cup, I can actually see the ladies named Karen who look sweet and nice nearly cringe as they whisper their name. Maybe the ones who really look bitchy go by "Carol" or some other alias. American police have no defense against angry white women... sure, they do have defense against black folk with their batons and guns, but no where in their rule book do they talk about white women.

Don’t worry, it’s almost reached the critical mass where the hive mind abandons it and ruins another word by overusing it and expanding its meaning until it’s a nebulous all purpose insult and, in turn, is cast aside as well. Half the comments on here are about her using the cool Reddit word rather than the actual content of her speech, so we’re clearly not there yet tho . That video is a prime example of why the current fascist ruling class, and the republican party in general, loves the uneducated.

It's grasping at straws and is usually the last defence of someone who knows what the police have done is wrong, but they don't want to admit it. It all essentially comes down to the same thing: if you just obey the law then this would never happen (even though it still does). It takes any wrongdoing from the police and puts it back to the victim. It constitutes the breaking of several Constitutional Amendments, but no one seems to care about that part. It's infuriating to have the same people screaming about their 2A rights also screaming that the others don't matter. My moms name is Karen and only recently found out about it when she was called Corona Karen at her new job.

The really stupid thing is that his last crime is more than a decade in the past. Even if he was a criminal by all accounts it seems he turned his life around and just got unlucky with a counterfeit bill. I was once arguing with a Karen about BLM in general and I brought up Philando Castille. I was making the point that you can follow all the rules and will still be shot. For those who don't know, Castille had a legal gun in his car and did what he is supposed to do by telling the officer that he had a license to carry a weapon. Then he was immediately shot and killed. After saying all this to Karen her only response was . At this point, you probably won’t. Most people have already chosen their side and anyone still sitting in the “Blue/All Lives Matter” camp has their head stuck so far up their ass the only way to change their mind would be to call a proctologist.

At what point did those crimes become a death sentence? If someone steals a KitKat and successfully punches an officer and runs away he can't just shoot him. The police is not judge, jury and executioner. They can shoot you if they have fear of their own life or other citizens - not because he didn't comply with the request/demand/order. That argument is so stupid. Okay he has a criminal record... did the cops know that? What if he didn’t have a criminal record? Should we just go around putting everyone with a criminal record in a chokehold till they die? Soon we’ll all have records and would have to be put in chokeholds ourselves.

Who is the Einstein that thinks standing in front of the car baiting a desperate father with his kids in the car while they're getting attacked was a good idea? And then just to be casually laying on the hood while the car's moving like it's a Sunday cruise. Between the crack lady, the crazy grandpa, and the other random thugs....this place is too much. I'd have felt so threatened by all of that. It made me wonder what the outcome would be if he did run them over so he could extricate himself from the very real potential danger. Like, is it legal to use your car to defend yourself like that? Mind you I concede that he had opportunity to evade by reversing on multiple occasions & as such it’d be left up to the judge or jury to determine if his actions were legal or not. If his state or local county has stand your ground laws & he got a good lawyer, my man in the video is more than likely in his legal right. Buy it: Introvert But Willing To Discuss Social Justice

After working in 2-3 hour blocks interspersed with home cooking, walks, naps, and little tasks around the house these last few months, I'm having a hard time accepting that I'll probably have to endure 5 consecutive 8-hour days again. Seriously though I'm not ready to go back to switching between work and exhaustion with no time to focus on anything else. Even my weekends are just errands and chores. I've been taking classes, working out, cooking and I haven't been this stress free since I was a kid. I went on a glacier hike when I was in Iceland and the guide seemed genuinely shocked and thrilled that my girlfriend and I were the only two people on his tour that day and we had actually spent more than five minutes outdoors and were appropriately dressed.

Notice the knee to the neck again, and him forcing his body weight on it. Thought that wasn’t part of the training? So we can assume looking around for witnesses and cameras is not part of that training either. Note that these cops are black and white. Its a blue line thing, its ain't white against black. Its institutionalized. Half the cops in the Freddie Gray death in Baltimore were black. The CULTURE of cops has to change, and the system needs to do away with qualified immunity. That's what I've been saying. It's their culture. Why do they have so much contempt for those they're supposed to be protecting? They don't see anyone that's not a cop as anything but meat. I Knew a retired LA County Sheriff who said roughly 50% of the entire force is corrupt and some are known murderers. They’re basically a county-funded gang and it’s been that way for a long time. Buy it:  Premium Mtv Personalized Watching Since Your Year Shirt Premium Trending Shirt This Season

Toby Greene clearly eye gouges Marcus Bontempelli in Round 22, 2019, with no repercussions. Same game, Marcus Bontempelli bumps Nick Haynes high, breaking his larynx.

From my understanding there was word that a BLM protest was going to happen. Rumor started to spread that bus loads of Antifa was going to come and start riots.

To be fair and iirc, Korra had budget cuts and changed hands in animation and got tossed around a bunch of time slots by Nickelodeon, so it barely had a chance. It was even to the point that they included what was essentially a clip show episode (that tried to riff on Ember Island Players, kinda) so that they could make up a budget shortfall, if I remember correctly. That and literally every season they didn't know if it would get another season until production was over, except the fourth was of course planned to be the end once they made it there. So they had to tie up every other season good enough that people could live with that potentially being the end, not leaving much room for overarching stories through the series.

I was born and raised in a 3rd world country. I was in no way poor, but wasn't an easy life. I live and work in a big European capital now, it boggles my mind when my colleagues complain about stuff I can easily endure like overtime or missing a weekend . Whenever I complain about overtime or missing a weekend, it's not about the act of doing those things. I've only ever complained of the fact that I won't be getting compensated for that time.

Some of today’s treaded vehicles, not necessarily just tanks but oversized construction machines and armored extreme terrain vehicles, do have some gnarly novel mechanical methods to disperse pivot forces which helps them from fucking up paths. They’re expensive and complicated so they’re not too common but you see them especially in some of highly specialized multi million dollar pieces equipment that exist to be used only a few times every decade. This is an issue with most tracked heavy vehicles. I can't speak for tanks, but if you're out driving through farmland sometime, keep an eye out for where farmers would typically cross the road with their equipment. What I usually see is a stack of old car tires laying nearby; they'll toss them out on the road and drive over to prevent damage to the asphalt.

Yeah as someone who’s currently serving in the military I can say we aren’t seen as people in the eyes of our superiors. We’re just a number to them and whatever help we need is seen as weakness. They give us all these tools to help ourselves but teach us not to use them and will actually punish us if we do. Many of us learn over our contract that what our government is doing isn’t right and should not be supported. Unfortunately the ultimate price we pay while learning this truth . Didn’t serve his full term, so he can’t get any decent private security jobs, police jobs, etc. and he can’t rejoin the service even though he ironed out his issues.

The police in their report said he “tripped and fell” and yet when you see the footage the cops push him forcefully away, especially for an old man and you see him whack the back of his head against the pavement.Exactly.

He wasn't defending himself from the tazer, he was defending himself from the possibility of an egregious heart attack. Exercise is a real killer, I can show you stats, more people die from exercise each year than cops killed by firearms. Hey, he might have had one more shot from that taser, he was obviously going to overpower those two cops and murder them both since every drunk person obviously wants to murder police only to then inevitably get murdered themselves by other police. It's sad to think that you basically have to acknowledge that they probably were actually afraid of some possibility, and then reiterate that people who are so scared that they will murder are not fit to be police officers. Banning it could work well still though by allowing a judge to exclude evidence regarding a persons gender when it isn't relevant to the case.

My favorite part of their revenge game is the website they have created for each and every medium to high profile member, that contains all of the dirt they’ve compiled on them for years.

I've spoken to a number of local business owners who are first generation immigrants and most of them have stories about local city police or firefighters coming by to solicit donations to police or firefighter charity events/causes. If the business owner declined or only donated a paltry sum, police and the local fire department and other regulating agencies would suddenly take a great interest in that particular business. They could have been operating for years without anything even remotely approaching that level of scrutiny. And now they've got all these cops and inspectors looking for all possible code violations or whatever the hell they could cite and hassle the owner workers customers for.  The next time the police ask for a donation, they give generously.

Probably 30 seconds total, fob broadcasts for a while when active. Locksmith looked at the key through the tinted side window and made a spare. My buddy learned afterwards that all you had to do was grab the rear fender and shake the car and it would have unlocked.  I did this with my 93 vette a couple times.

Such a travesty...like maybe you don’t actually like meat if you don’t appreciate its flavor! This is completely anecdotal, but I wouldn't have gotten into animal rescue, had it not been for the last item. Someone among my circles who couldn't do the first two bullet points listed a couple dogs near me and I set out to try and help. To this date, I've fostered countless dogs and cats and even founded a dog rescue and it's been about 12 or 13 years now and I can pin point the exact person and what they did to help give me the

I was a freshman in HS the year Obama was inaugurated and despite not being some genius-level expert, I understood that Obama was going in and inheriting the problems of the Bush administration. How middle aged or older adults who've lived through multiple presidencies don't understand that is saddening to know. I sincerely believe that for some older generations who didn’t grow up with the internet, social media, and 24/7 news, they really lack the skill set and ability to process so much information and to tease out what is important, correct, an advertisement, or straight propaganda. Sometimes when I talk to my mom about things happening in the world she responds to only one particular bit of information over the bulk and she won't focus on much beyond that. This is exactly what the Conservatives do here in the UK too. 2008 was 12 years ago but apparently we’ve got no money cause the Labour government caused a global recession.

Quite a number of people seem to be annoyed by the final chapter in the Animorphs story. There are a lot of complaints that I let Rachel die. That I let Visser Three One live. That Cassie and Jake broke up. That Tobias seems to have been reduced to unexpressed grief. That there was no grand, final fight-to-end-all-fights. That there was no happy celebration. And everyone is mad about the cliffhanger ending. Animorphs was always a war story. Wars don’t end happily. Not ever. Often relationships that were central during war, dissolve during peace. Some people who were brave and fearless in war are unable to handle peace, feel disconnected and confused. Other times people in war make the move to peace very easily. Always people die in wars. And always people are left shattered by the loss of loved ones. That’s what happens, so that’s what I wrote. Jake and Cassie were in love during the war, and end up going their seperate ways afterward. Jake, who was so brave and capable during the war

He's a massive sports nerd, it's a given. He knows that he can offend anyone with sports but even especially non sports fans by only talking about sports. It's amazing really about masks is just so weird to me. How fragile is your ego to refuse to wear a mask because you think it makes you look weak? This shit will always be like this. People with fragile egos has occurred as far back as I can remember. Kids don't want to wear helmets cause it makes you look like a bitch. People don't wear seat belts because it's slightly uncomfortable. Riding down the freeway on your motorcycle just wearing a bandanna on your head looking too cool to protect your brain from spilling out. Yeah, I'm a bitch for grasping at the small percentage of safety to make myself feel like I have even the slightest bit of control in this shitty disaster movie of a year. Get outta here with that shit, I'm going to wear a mask, it doesn't effect you, get over it. Buy it : Strong Gi

Hes worried about a 2nd shutdown because he couldnt go to the comedy club for 2 months. His lack of ability to understand that even with mass quarantine we still have 118k deaths and if we did nothing that number would be 500k plus is astounding, baffling, and dangerous. This is hilarious to me, considering Joe had all of his guests fucking taking COVID-19 tests before he was allowing them to come onto his podcast. So apparently you're a pussy if you try to protect the people around you by wearing a mask, but not a pussy if you're so afraid of catching it yourself that you're paying a doctor to come in and administer tests on your guests. It hurts to watch it without basic information being correct. "It only affects old people". It doesn't. "It only hurts those with existing conditions." It doesn't. It's painful that something that has killed a hundred thousand people and most Americans still don't know anything about it. They still think

A few weeks ago on Instagram he posted a clip of Fauci saying that no one needs to be wearing a mask. Joe’s caption was something like “tell that to all the dorks wearing masks.” The comments were just slurping it up. A quick google search and I found that exact clip. It was Fauci being interviewed on March 6. On that day there were 44 cases in New York. Many states had 0 cases. It just shows how stupid he is and how stupid his audience is. I should say how stupid much of his audience is. I realize that many people don’t listen for the purpose of gathering accurate information. He gets great guests and many of the interviews can be interesting. I used to listen occasionally because he has some great guests but he will do a complete 180 on an issue depending on who the guest is. I also got tired of the whole shtick where he and his guests pretend every liberal has the beliefs of a 16yr old radical leftist.

What an astute conclusion too. You worked yourself into a piss your pants terror, now you're embarrassed because your macho persona and machismo are laughing at you through your own inner monologue, so you have to go over-bro to compensate for your insecurity. What's with the all or nothing? It's either everybody is gonna die or it's nothing? I never ever got the impression we were all gonna die. I listened to the experts talk about management and responsible behavior. Goddamn, who is the bitch now indeed. What really happened is he realized he wasn't at very high risk for it, so he stopped caring. He stopped caring so much that his fear of not looking manly outweighs his concern for other people, which is what the mask is for. So if you really think about it, that makes him the biggest bitch ever. He's so scared people won't think he's manly that he refuses to wear a mask whose main purpose is protecting other people. He's not even taking a risk him

Personally, the more I watch Joe Rogan , the more I realized I only come back to his show to hear what his guests have to say. It could be literally anybody having that conversation with bill burr and I would love it. I came to the same realization not too long ago. I feel myself getting more annoyed at Joe every time I listen to one of his podcasts at length. He gets some great guests on though, so I still listen. The way he switches his tone up is masterful - there's no joke in that statement and no joking tone in his voice - he's hitting Joe with the unvarnished truth there - but he's right back to cracking wise and disarming the situation moments later. Excellent point! That’s how he’s able to make his points without being diverted off of them, while at the same time not acquiescing to Rogan’s viewpoint in an attempt to satiate him. I’ve never seen someone be able to handle a conversation about a divisive issue so masterfully. That was beautiful! Buy it: Strong Girl Mas

One of my more outlandish ideas was that the X-files were secretly endorsed in order to try and find occult or other paranormal ways to fight off the aliens. I don't think it's ever directly mentioned, but I'm pretty sure that the X-files were also plausible deniability and/or a way to distract the aliens further to throw them off what the syndicate govt was doing on the side. I've watched Thomas and Friends for many years as a kid and now my 4 year old watch it also. Among many questions, are the drivers completely useless? How are they not able to prevent trains from crashing, falling off the rails, backing up too far, etc? And are they telepathic? Trains talk to one another without drivers, Sir Topham Hatt ever hearing anything? I mean Obi Wan lives as a hermit in the desert of Tatooine. The people in Mos Eisley aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed so they might not even realise. And he lives virtually isolated from every living being, with a few exceptions every no

Its just a waste, is what I'm trying to say. Writers rewriting Superman's origin but good God does it never stop for Wonder Woman. If they'd give her a few years to breathe and grow as a character instead of changing her origin which inevitably changes again, she'd be much more popular, which she deserves. And at least Superman has 2+ ongoing books even when they do decide to take his origin out for a spin in a new miniseries. At least she has her perfect costume, finally. Basically there are two groups of aliens having a war in space. Black goo aliens/hybrid humans vs the blind aliens. The black goo aliens want to invade earth and use us as biomass to grow more soldiers. The government/syndicate make a bargain for them to come back in a few decades and we will turn ourselves over peacefully. They take the governments children as collateral. This is Mulder's sister. In the mean time, the syndicate is doing its own shady stuff in attempt to block the aliens from inva

Speaking of knights, did you know that Transformers were at King Arthur’s round table? They also fought in both World Wars, the American Revolution, they killed Hitler, served the Japanese empire, etc. all along because why the fuck not? Also a Goddess named Quintessa made the Transformers, not those other aliens and not the Allspark, to fight Unicron. Who’s Unicron? Well he’s the Thanos of the Transformers universe... and he’s been Earth all along! Yep, Earth was a Transformer too. Also Cybertron, the planet they are from, is somehow still alright even though it got sucked into a literal black hole in Transformers 3 and blew . Oh yeah, about that whole “it took 100 years for Autobots to come to Earth” thing? Well not only was Optimus and the gang on Earth the whole time, they also forgot about that and didn’t come to Earth till the 80s which is still earlier than they arrived in 2007. So we have three different timepoints for Optimus’s army coming to Earth, and two different timepoint

I grew up with the Bay Transformers films, and while I’ll always have a soft spot for the first three holy shit the lore might be the worst in all of fiction. In the first film the Allspark, a cube that makes Transformers and the cause of the war, lands on Earth in the early 1900s, and it takes the Autobots and Decepticons 100 years to find Earth. Oh wait, no it doesn’t because they’ve been on Earth since at least the 1800s and never thought to look for the very thing the war was all about. Hell the Primes, basically Transformer Gods, built their Sun Eater in Egypt and were buried on the damn planet. How did they not write Earth down in any records if it was an important planet to them? Oh yeah, Transformers killed the dinosaurs too because Earth was actually being used to mine “Transformium”, which is what Transformers are made out of. Oh yeah about that, the Allspark did jack shit all along because other aliens made Transformers, so the war was pointless. And Primes are knights now,

Imagine an employer who has a policy of firing any employee known to be homosexual. The employer hosts an office holiday party and invites employees to bring their spouses. A model employee arrives and introduces a manager to Susan, the employee’s wife.Will that employee be fired? If the policy works as the employer intends, the answer depends entirely on whether the model employee is a man or a woman. To be sure, that employer’s ultimate goal might be to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. But to achieve that purpose the employer must, along the way, intentionally treat an employee worse based in part on that . I posted this elsewhere in the thread, but Gorsuch's argument is interesting in that it makes no effort to defend homosexuality other than by showing that homosexual or transgender discrimination cannot happen without sexual discrimination.
