It‘s almost like Poland never addressed their own anti-semitism under German occupation and used it as a shield and even forbade any discussion of Polish collaboration by law, weird.

Great article from the ABC political editor about political discourse on Twitter.

https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2019-04-24/federal-election-sees-voters-turn-on-journalists-on-twitter/10984688?pfmredir=sm

Quote
"Twitter is a peanut gallery of hyper-partisan tools," Uhlmann laments.


"Unless you conform to their biases and beat to the death the people they hate, you're obviously not doing your job."


Quote
"Engaging with most of the people on Twitter is an express train to hell. No good comes of it."


"Emotion gets the better of people and it's the social media equivalent of watching a bar room brawl."


Quote
While the hyper-partisans are alert to any perceived "bias", Uhlmann believes one side is way more offensive than the other.


"While one of the memes of the early 21st century is the rise of the aggressive right, the emergence of what I would call the "post-Christian left" is much more of a worry," he said.


"They are the moralisers-in-chief and can be absolutely vicious."

The three boys, aged 12, 13, and 14, were ordered into a police car by the six officers in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley. Each boy was driven in a separate patrol car to a swampy area in Pinkenba, Queensland. The officers threatened to throw the boys into the swampy wasteland, and referred to a place where people's fingers were cut off, in order to get them to comply with their demands. The boys were abandoned after their shoes were removed. The boys later retrieved their shoes and began to walk home. They finished the journey in a taxi paid for by a security guard they met along the way.

Police later admitted that the boys had not previously committed any crimes but were taken to deter them from committing any crimes or being a public nuisance.

Following an investigation by the Criminal Justice Commission, the Public Prosecutor laid charges against the police for deprivation of liberty. The charges were later dropped after a magistrate found the boys agreed to go with the police officers, but the police officers were put on probation for one year by the police service, not as a court sentence.
Oh, oh, oh, Mark Ellis. You've come to the wrong neighborhood with your claims of the state being a legitimate monopoly on the use of force, buddy.
