I was well aware of domestic abuse and sexual assault issues before the SNES launched too.

NPR had a story on Camden, NJ and all the fired officers had to write a 50 page essay on why they were a good cop.https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/06/08/872416644/former-chief-of-reformed-camden-n-j-force-police-need-consent-of-the-peopleAnd didn't they get even more money by "defunding?"
Whatever happened to that one resetera admin who posted vile racist shit in the long distant past of 2017? Several other admins and mods covered for him and determined he was "ok"Is he staying low profile?
I'm going to bomb the Dutch because of your hostility. You've done it now, bucky.
QuoteDefund the police is such an easily manipulated phrase. I am for it 100%, but the layman thinks it means no police.Yep. That’s the problem with it the messaging people are stupid and this is like Obamacare 2.0.The underlying idea makes sense but defund doesn’t work vs even reform and rebuild police.

Politics just sucks. That’s because it’s revolved around trying not to hurt the feelings of old insecure white men from middle America. Any real change has to be subtle and over a lengthy amount of time under the current state of things.I firmly believe that if we had automatic voter registration upon turning age 18 and the ability to vote online, America would have a 37 year old Twitch streaming fundraiser as president [\b] and one of the most progressive platforms in the world.But sadly we can’t do any of that because we have to focus on making the aforementioned group of people feel good. Biden knows how to do that at least so I have hope that he could get us out of the Trump chaos.

Wouldn’t it be great if we had a president who out of habit told us to smash that like button every time they addressed the nation? Or how they wanted us to use affiliate links for G2A to help stimulate the economy? Do any of these people THINK before they vomit thought all over that hellworld of a forum?

The show shouldn’t be removed just because the BBC suddenly remembered they produced offensive shit, but the show has bad rep way before this.

One final idea: consider abolishing the police.I know what you’re thinking, “What? We need the police! They protect us!” As someone who did it for nearly a decade, I need you to understand that by and large, police protection is marginal, incidental. It’s an illusion created by decades of copaganda designed to fool you into thinking these brave men and women are holding back the barbarians at the gates.
. Man I wish we could get some verification. I shared it on my socials regardless because the recommendations are that good. I think the single most important step we can take is make cops personally financially liable for all their civil violations, everything else flows from there all the way to abolition if the city votes for it.

Yeah, that was written by an ex-cop, totally.
I understand the skepticism concerning the authenticity, but what aspect of this piece isn't already well-known information? There's nothing revelatory in this. It's interesting because it's (supposedly) written by a former copy, not because we're finding out heretofore unknown practices or ideas concerning policing.
No excuse, folks need to learn

CAMEROTA: Do you understand that the word, dismantle, or police-free also makes some people nervous, for instance? What if in the middle of night, my home is broken into? Who do I call?BENDER: Yes, I mean, hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors. And I know -- and myself, too, and I know that that comes from a place of privilege. Because for those of us for whom the system is working, I think we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality where calling the police may mean more harm is done.
I want to get some snacks and stuff for the PS5 event on Thursday but I'm shit-scared of heading out just for 'a few bits'. Wish my local shop wasn't a small-ish Sainsbury's with no one-way system and way too many people. Though I really just wish I could do something even slightly normal at this point. It's awful

Thursday's event is gonna be a really hype thing for me and I don't want to lessen its impact because of the tiny chance that the virus somehow gets through my N95 mask (or into my eyes, I dunno).
Never really enjoy the pub - grotty, dingy, disgusting places full of sleezy old men. Have fun with that one, whoever's itching for a pint.

it's just an old statue.... Not some actually significant historical piece.

On some level a discussion about the whole everything belongs in a museum needs to be had, it's the same logic used about Confederate Statues in the US which were commissioned by White Supremacist groups like Daughter's of the Confederation being of historical value because they're old.
I hope so. I believe Giant Bomb stopped working with Max (on-camera at least) back in 2014 when there was a rape allegation made against him.Unfortunately I think most places just decided to silently not cover CAH or deal with Max any more, rather than making a statement about it.I'm not sure if Patrick commented on it or not now; but I see that he did continue working with Max on a podcast until mid-2015 which was disappointing to find out.
Lincoln should be the only one to remain up everything else should be burned down even Washington
Jesus guys, tone down some of the stuff here. Holy shit, Sage. I don’t like the “let’s burn everything we get down” approach, but some of this stuff are statues that really may not been in public spaces anymore.
