    Absolutely blows my mind when this response comes up.

    It's well established the point of protest is not to force direct change, it's to draw attention to something that otherwise gets overlooked. It's supposed to inconvenience you.

    They're Climate Activists. Not to point out the fucking obvious here but literally everyone knows about Climate Change regardless of if you stand on the believer or disbeliever side. This protest was as pointless as the pepper spraying.

    I thought we were done with the believer/disbeliever dichotomy and had moved on to preventist/adaptist.

    That said, it is dumb to assert that people have to be actively annoying to everyday people to make the news. Plenty of shit makes the news that afaik has no real impact on anyone. Just game the social media beast

    I don't know, the fact we are talking about it in any context means they are getting something heard. If they just stood on the side of a road all day I guarantee this would never have made any headlines.

    Five months later, the officer has been fired.

    Dude was dumb as fuck and was actively fighting the cops the entire time. That said, the cop is fucking nuts for shooting at someone running away

    Is it even legal to shoot an unarmed suspect who’s running away?

    It's Chicago, I doubt legality will have much bearing on it.

    The comments were just the best, by the way. "He would still be alive if someone just stepped in and helped the cops". Yeah, because jumping in the middle of that is EXACTLY what the cops want. Great way to get your ass shot first.

    FBI is apparently investigating the officers.

    A Wood River, IL officer told two black Walmart shoppers that the city had an ordinance against wearing masks and proceeded to intimidate them by following them around the store with his hand on his pepper spray.

    On March 15, 2020, an officer with the Wood River Police Department tried to identify two individuals he felt were acting suspicious prior to the two entering the store. The two individuals were wearing surgical masks.

    ​The officer told the two a city ordinance prohibited the masks. A city ordinance does not exist which would prohibit the two from wearing a mask. An Illinois law does prohibit the wearing of a mask, hood, or device to conceal the identity of the wearer from a peace officer with the intent to conceal his or her identity from a peace officer in which any portion of the person’s face is hidden, concealed, or covered on any public way, public place, or property, or on any private property, without first having obtained the written permission from the owner or occupier of the property.

    ​With the current pandemic it is understandable why any person is wearing a mask to protect themselves. On March 15, 2020, not many people were wearing a mask. A review of video from the store does not reveal anyone else wearing a mask.

    Even if nobody else was wearing a mask, I can't fault them for it.

    NYPD officer caught on camera berating a man on the sidewalk. The officer repeatedly tells the man to "Shut the fuck up" and that he'll "slap the shit" out of him.

    Canada cops take down girl in full Stormtrooper costume on May the fourth


    Some gems from this

    “The "weapon" (a fucking blaster) was ultimately confirmed to be a fake firearm,”

    Lethbridge Police Services said the woman did not initially comply with the officers’ instructions to get on the ground.
    Which would be a great way to try to cover for what they did if it wasn't for the fact any idiot would be able to figure out...

    “When she was told to drop the blaster, she did,” he said. Whalen said it was also difficult to move in the $1,200 costume,

    A North Carolinian sheriff's deputy has been fired and is facing charges of trespassing and breaking and entering after leading an armed white mob to a black family's home in search of a missing girl (who was found elsewhere and was safe).

    New Hanover County District Attorney Ben David said Friday that Jordan Kita, who worked in the New Hanover Sheriff’s Office, will be charged with trespassing and breaking and entering.

    Kita led an armed group May 3 to the home of Dameon Shepard, a senior at Laney High School in Wilmington.

    The all-white group tried unsuccessfully to force its way into the home of Shepard, who is black, news outlets reported.

    Kita was looking for Lekayda Kempisty, a 15-year-old girl who was reported missing earlier that day. She was later found safe.

    In its effort to find Lekayda, Kita’s group was searching for someone named Josiah who used to live next door.
