Right? Well said.

I’m a Bad River tribal member (though I live in Milwaukee). The tribe does have a police department, but it’s small and the Ashland County sheriff shares law enforcement duties on the reservation.

That’s what I can’t get over. His smile still has that innocent joy that kids rarely still even have at 14.

It doesn’t even seem to matter if it was a weapon. If it’s something the police an imagine might be used as a weapon, they freak the fuck out.

Can we please include people who call 911 with vague assumptions as a serious fucking problem that needs to be addressed. We’ve all had that neighbor. The nosy asshole with nothing better to do than stare out the window all day with “solutions” looking for problems.

Just like Tamir Rice.

Thank you for posting this. Most people pay no mind to another native dying. My first thought when I heard of this murder was it’s hunting season, maybe he had a knife to go help someone with their take. Then my next thought was why was an outside police force on the Rez, why didn’t Tribal police handle this, why is…

He still looks like a baby! That poor child.

Can’t apologize enough for what you experienced. Some advice about reporting - Find the highest person you feel comfortable talking to and head straight for them. Be open and make them hear you, not just listen.

Exactly. Colbert knew CK for over 20 years, Aziz Ansari refused to talk about it when asked by the Daily Beast. The only ones who spoke out before this reveal were women. Rosanne, Tig, Kirkman..

This was a bit more than ten years ago. I encountered several co-workers (all men) speaking and acting in a kind of “locker room” manner.

Love the guy saying he’d vote for Moore anyway just because he won’t vote for a Dem. this party above everything shit is how the GOP wins but it’s so sick.

Literally just said this to a friend. Some men feel they’re “one of the good ones” because they aren’t out there grabbing pussies or calling women “bitches” to their faces but if they aren’t calling out the men in their lives who are doing this, or just even telling a guy that it’s not cool to make a gross, sexist…

Any man that knows that your coworker doesn’t respect boundaries and hasn’t had a talk with him is complicit and full of shit. I’m so fed up with men allowing this shit for the sake of their bro alliance/brotherhood/patriarchy/being cowards. I’m really sorry you have to deal with this shit and it’s all on you.

It makes every other time you speak out when it’s not someone you know or who are friends with ring totally hollow and eventually become meaningless. When there’s no personal stakes for you it’s easy, when it affects you and makes you particularly uncomfortable because that person is a friend of coworker is when it is…

I cried almost all night last night because a coworker did/said 2 inappropriate things to me in the span of 2 weeks. He was someone I liked, I found harmless and nice and still don’t feel threatened by, just disgusted and humiliated. I took a mental health day today to figure out how to report him. He’s been with the…

Yes! Guys, take notes, if you were looking for a way to help, this is it. This is literally it! Speak out when it happens AND speak out even when it’s someone you know and like.

So yeah guys, if you’re like, “I don’t know what I personally can do to help!”, the thing to do is to call out men, ESPECIALLY YOUR FRIENDS AND COWORKERS AND ACQUAINTANCES when they are creeps and abusers. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances.…
