Can someone tell me how in the FUCK this narrative was allowed to continue after we learned that this Jacob Blake fuckhead was reaching for a god damn knife after brawling with the police? And further, that he was wanted for sexual assault and was in the middle of another violent crime against a woman? This isn't even a Fentanyl Floyd situation where maybe people can misunderstand what was happening.
THE COP SHOT AN ARMED PERPETRATOR AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION PEACEFULLY
This kind of blatant manipulation of the facts is going to drive me to live off the grid, I swear to God.
Heres how it happens. Most medium to large companies, particularly those run by pussies, are in a near constant fear of being sued, especially by disgruntled employees that keep the receipts.
Companies are advised, or in attempts to be proactive, create trainings, messaging, donations et cetera that their advisors or lawyers feel will provide evidence of due dilligence should a suit be brought.
For example, a company may do mandatory sexual harassment training so if an employee is sexual harassed they can say "no no look we did everything to create a safe work environment."
They constantly are having to up the anti for themselves as maybe they hear someone else lost a suit but did do sexual harassment training so they make fridays sexual harassmemt awareness day plus the training.
These owners convince themselves that its for the greater good or "it is what it is" because it doesnt effect them personally and they think it protects their pocketbook.
Why couldnt a company just say All Lives Matter and cover all their bases? Well the media poisons the well and convinces people that it would actually raise the risk of them being sued, and most assuredly someone runs a risk assessment for them amd determines which demographics are most and least likely to sue over particular issues.
Welcome to what just happened with the sports league, notably the NHL. Literally got pressured by twitter wokedom to comply; "It is what it is. Just get it done so there isn't a firestorm and let's move on. Works out the guys get two rest days."
This sounds about right. These corporations will need to start fearing being sued from the other side before they change. Could they be sued for promoting a false narrative in the workplace that makes employees feel unsafe? I'm being half serious. This constant amplification of the media narrative is what makes people anxious and crazy.
