I have a large black straw hat and the largest sunglasses on the face of the earth. Also a parasol somewhere but it feels like a little much.

either thomas jefferson or abe Lincoln said the best way to endear someone to you is to ask to borrow something. this fool did all three. he asked to borrow their sanctuary, told them an embarrassing secret, and asked them to do him a favor by just not reacting to the secret.

If you’re a community leader who the police feel will have their back, I have questions for thee.

An ex (a master of manipulation) once taught me one of the most subtle ways to a get a person on your side is tell them a secret that embarrasses you or ask them to do you a small favor. I’m not sure why this works but it mostly does. That’s what they’re trying to do here. This is a total con.

I’d like to suggest a protest in a financial district instead. Shut down the thing the police are truly there to “protect and serve.”

I would have said, are you fucking kidding me?

So you’re a “community leader” and the PD comes to you with this bullshit, how do you not laugh in their face and immediately organizing which sporting event you’re goign to shut down with a protest?
This is a con.

“There’s going to be a video that’s going to come out soon, in the next couple of weeks, involving the department, and I’m going to honest with you, we’re going to need your support during the challenges,”

Meanwhile his ginger brother got better looking.

Maybe becoming a parent is what is aging him prematurely. It is something for sure because he looks at least 15 years older than his actual age.

Now you guys made the security guard upset...

He didn’t look like his father until he hit about thirty then that ugly that had missed him his whole life swerved right into his lane and settled in.

This picture is from a day or two after the last baby was born, but yeah, he’s aging a bit faster these days and I can’t believe that’s the guy I used to have a crush on.

Yeah, he really needs to shave it off and go for the Jason Statham look.

What the hell is this?!?!

No, it isn’t. Like you, I am actively involved in actual on-the-ground activism, and I volunteer to various causes beyond that. However, I also work in technology, and what you are saying is not true.

You mention that you’ll be taking a trip abroad to assist a community in Zimbabwe with a water crisis. I am glad you…

It’s really not.

Maybe. But in this case, I don’t think anyone is saying “fixing net neutrality is more important than addressing climate change”. If there is, point that person out, and I’ll say their prorities are really screwed up.

maybe you need to read up on the subject

Patience. One thing at a time. Maybe it’s not the problem you would have liked handled first, but hey, it’s something.
