Heck even knock and announce in the middle of the night is not great. I once had the police hang on my door in the middle of the night. I woke up not knowing what was happening, thinking someone was trying to break in, and went downstairs with a gun and took a defensive position. When I saw someone walk past a window in a uniform I realized it was the cops, stashed the gun and answered the door.
Turns out my kids had left a car door open and the cops thought it had been broken into. They were just trying to be helpful, but I can't imagine the shit that would've gone down if they happened to see me inside holding a gun.
Going into a house in the dark when the occupants are sleeping is just a recipe for accidents.
They don't hate slavery. They hate America.
38 years old, lived in multiple regions, never heard of Juneteenth until last week.
I canceled mine 4 years ago. What do?
It suddenly hit me just how cruel these people are. Denying that an obvious problem exists precludes any attempt at a solution. They are consigning the black community to ridiculous levels of violent crime just to preserve their PC worldview.
If you ask me, this change doesn't go far enough.
"status" is an everyday reminder of social inequity.
"diff" makes minorities of every kind feel "othered".
"commit" is triggering to people in non-monogamous relationships.
"restore" and "revert" makes people think about racists trying to get back to the "good old days" of Jim Crow.
"checkout" reminds one of street harassment and objectifying women.
"switch" is insensitive toward the trans community.
"merge" is triggering to asexual persons.
"stash" harkens to the racist war on drugs.
"tag" belittles street artists and peaceful protesters.
"fetch" alludes to dogs being held in captivity against their will (and commanded by their "masters") .
"push" and "pull" reflect the physical violence inflicted on minorities and peaceful protesters by the police.
"blame" may trigger victims of sexual violence who were wearing short skirts.
"git" itself is a slur on certain classes of people.
Breonna Taylor was not shot intentionally, she was caught in a crossfire. The police raid shouldn't have happened, but her death has nothing to do with racism.
95% of Republican leaders are giant pussies, hence why Trump crushed them all in 2015.
Was about to post this exact sentence lol
Gotta rearchitect all computers to use analog signals to avoid reinforcing binary normativity.
Primary and secondary? Sounds like inequality to me...
We should all start using a "slaveholder" branch in protest.
Professional victims have always been around. All the people suddenly caving to them is making me sick.
Git doesn't have "slaves" though... "master" is just used as a synonym for "main".
Yup, they said they were sorry that officers were "injured" at one of their restaurants and were investigating.
Frankly man, most of the Juans and Abduls want to live honest, free lives too. Like, virtually all construction workers, farm laborers, hotel maids are Latino. None of that is "free shit and burning everything down". That's not to say we should just let them all in, but we don't gain anything by demonizing them.
I'm really pro police, but every defense of this shoot rests on hypotheticals - what if he did this or what if he did that. Cops can't go around shooting people based on something that might have happened or might happen later. At the time he was not a threat to anyone. He was a drunk guy running on foot, holding a taser (not a deadly weapon) that might not even have any shots left in it. They had options other than shooting the dude.
I agree fwiw. Guy was running away, nobodies' lives were being directly threatened.
At the moment those liberal governments will use their police to block everyday citizens from doing anything, and I don't think our side wants to be fighting the police. We have to wait until the police are actually defunded or have all resigned before we step in.
Forced white slavery is systemically racist against black people. Did you know slavery was invented by white people in 1619 for the sole purpose of destroying the black race? Ipso facto, slavery is a racist institution which hurts black people, even if the slaves are white and the masters black.
I'm sure CHAZ leadership has planned for all of these contingencies they seem like very rational people.
Now there's an idea to tell the left... "The only true reparation is to let a black person enslave you."
They invented the indoor outhouse.
I'm starting to think we should make CHOP a permanent fixture. Let anyone who thinks anarchy is a good idea go live there for a couple weeks.
