police in the US kill far more whites than POC

That was my thought. The stated goals of the protesters might in fact represent the destruction of Shea’s way of life. The two concepts are not incompatible.

“Cancel culture” seems to consist of two things: 1) people legitimately pointing out messed up behaviour that’s been going on for years and 2) people gleefully piling onto people for small slights, often without considering the possibility of change and redemption.

Why would it even matter if she was Latina? Doesn’t change the obvious reason why she suspected that this particular child had her phone.

The man was introduced  killing a bunch of his own soldiers to make some kind of point (I’m still a bit unclear about what it was). But this guy does seem to be a wannabe Darth Vader, so killing the underlings seems par for that course.

It’s kind of a corpse- based version of the eternal fires in a lot of post-apocalyptic games (or leaks, in Bioshock- how has all of Rapture not flooded by Bioshock 2?). Especially noticable in a game like State of Decay where you can go around the town for a couple of weeks and yep, that car’s still on fire.

90's? Hold on, I’mma get my Betty Davis records out....

You’re also missing the detail that most of the time, the person being accused of being in the US illegally actually isn’t there illegally, it’s just that the accuser saw a brown person and made an assumption based on nothing more than their own biases.

I had a headcanon early on that Zoe’s Rob was actually the daughter of the film’s Rob and Lisa Bonet’s Marie De Salle, living a life that eerily echoed her father’s.

Everyone has ancestors who were slaves, if you go back far enough.

Now, now, you’re forgetting that standard police training appears to include that black men are automatically armed and dangerous- having a taser meant he had two weapons. And that training also seems to include the idea that their lives are constantly being targeted. But that training also doesn’t seem to include any…

Looking at how they act when faced with non- violent protesters.... which is to say shoving them violently and generally acting in a way that can only be interpreted as “trying to start a fight”, I’d say thinking they had any plans except trying to fuck people up makes you a fucking simpleton.

That’s not really better. Their refusal to serve riot detail because the union won’t defend actions they may take while on riot duty basically screams that they planned to engage in actions that would need union protection. Better that they resigned.

I noticed a few things as well. But c’mon do we really need the full novel- length list?

I’m fine with swearing in general, but if there were to be just one possible time where the word “fuck” is allowed, “I really fucking hate racists” seems like a strong contender.

I’d settle for most of them being slapped into this century, since they also invariably have a lot of ideas we should have left behind decades ago.

Given that US cops compare their job to being in a war all the time I see no problem with it being pointed out that no, they are absolutely not.

What amuses me is that if there were some secret cabal capable of pulling this off, they clearly aren’t doing it to take control. It would require complete control to even make it work.

“his”? Van Halen is band not a person (well in terms of the band, it’s three people: Eddie, Alex and eventually Wolfgang)
