Same. I swear I saw this a couple of months ago.What's unsettling is that I thought it had happened a long time ago, not a mere three weeks before George Floyd was murdered.

To be fair to Maitlis, her job is to ask those sort of questions as a decent proportion of the viewers will have that attitude.
It's like history books, where you read of hungry kids being deported or hung for stealing an apple, and you think 'Thank god those times are past...'The “crime” here was asking an adult to buy some tobacco for him.
Holding up a book that's been used to install and maintain social control for centuries; it figures. Heck, even Black folks look to a white man's god for guidance and solace, so effective is the brainwashing.
The “crime” here was asking an adult to buy some tobacco for him. It’s insane how something so trivial can escalate like that. What the feck is wrong with these cops?

Blasphemous. US is the land of the free-est... Bible holders...
From what you know, what is a chronological order of good movies made on 1960s black civil rights movement? I've found the below. Any others you would suggest?The Harlem Riot of 1964 lasted about a week, as did the Watts Riot of 1965. In 1967, there was the "Long Hot Summer" where there were riots in something like 150 cities across the country. Most of those lasted about a week as well. The biggest national social unrest since the Civil War though were the individual protests and riots that followed MLK Jr's assassination... each of those lasted around a week also and spread nationwide, but they were spread out over an entire month.

Yes sir it is.Mississippi Burning is a great movie.

It is, but according to the bulletin, the officer 'lost sight of the adult', so he decided to brutalize the minor instead.Funny. I thought the crime in that transaction was purchasing the controlled product for a minor. Maybe I'm wrong.

Tweet thread: I’m at a house in DC after being pepper sprayed and knocked down by the police. There are about 100 of us in a house surrounded by cops. All the neighbors on this street opened their doors and are tending to protesters. The cops corralled us on this street and sprayed us down.
Was just talking about that. Probability that one of those 70 was asymptomatic covid19 infected is quite high I'd guess? If so, many would have become infected in that gathering. Protestors trying to observe social distancing protocols all day long and then forced into extended close contact because of USA police. It could become the ground zero for a huge outbreak and the blame would be purely on Trump.Not just letting them in but letting them in during a pandemic too.
There are some good people though;
They're praying, not begging. However, instead of calling on a higher power, why don't they open a dialogue where minorities can educate them on how they can challenge and change racial bias. The Good Lord has given them the means to do it.
Twitter on Monday restricted access to a tweet posted by Rep. Matt Gaetz in which the Florida Republican called for what commenters described as extrajudicial killings of protesters.
"Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East?" Gaetz tweeted, joining Donald Trump and other Republicans in blaming anti-fascists for the violence across the country at protests over the death of George Floyd.
Floyd, an unarmed black man, died after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for eight minutes, even as Floyd said he could not breathe. Autopsies have found that Floyd died of asphyxia.
While Gaetz's tweet is still up, users have to click on it to see its contents. It's covered by a box that reads, "This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public's interest for the Tweet to remain accessible."
Democratic lawmakers called out Gaetz in response to the tweet and urged Twitter to remove it from the social media platform.
"Take the Gaetz tweet down right now @twitter. RIGHT NOW," Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) tweeted Monday night. "The survivors of mass shootings are lighting up my phone. They are scared to death this will inspire someone to start shooting into a crowd tonight. They are right."
After Twitter took action against his tweet, Gaetz said, "Their warning is my badge of honor."
"Antifa is a terrorist organization, encouraging riots that hurt Americans. Our government should hunt them down. Twitter should stop enabling them. I'll keep saying it," Gaetz said in a tweet that he pinned to the top of his profile page.
Donald Trump has demanded that the antifa movement be labeled a domestic terrorist organization.
However, as factcheck.org noted, "There is no such official federal designation for domestic terrorism organizations." Even if such a designation existed, the site said, it would be "difficult or questionable" to categorize antifa in that manner because it is not an organized group with a hierarchy and leadership.
Hopefully we all will now as nations prepare for it as a war as we do in a military sense. But yea we all had a choice to prepare.This isn’t really the thread for it but this is entirely untrue.
I agree. Racism is a learned human behaviour that subsequently becomes deeply emotional and entrenched. People in that VDO seem to be genuinely emotionally challenged, perhaps understanding their own subconscious bias for first time. Emotional moments are often the ones we remember and help people pivot into a different world view.Praying or begging doesn’t matter as the hope is what is important. It is just nice to see a bit of empathy at this time.
