hassy actually wearing some PPE and a press tag today
I know the cat is out of the bag on this generally but it feels weird to go to this sort of thing and livestream still to me. no opportunity to blur faces if you witness something cool
ironically I feel like it is less likely they will shoot someone compared the goddamned LAPD
straight up this is why they don’t give riot cops live ammo. No fucking discipline
the crayon eaters are probably only a marginal improvement on that front though
yeah assuming it wasn’t super obviously coordinated, all hailed by one person, etc. this is true (and it’d be bad PR to go after them if it wasn’t an airtight case). fucking hasan hailed an uber or whatever like 2 blocks from the protest to go home, live on stream, the waymos were hailed early enough in the protest to be very plausibly deniable
I heard it’s because they share data with cops, but I don’t know how many people on the ground actually know that.
People said this about the burning and looted Target stores in Minneapolis in 2020. It wasn’t true, a lot of people on the ground absolutely knew about many of their horrible practices, and even those who didn’t know the specifics correctly idenitified big corporations and big tech as being big drivers/boosters of police repression and surveillance.
More generalized looting is also a thing (and I have no interest in condemning it) but there’s a reason Target went first and was targeted across neighborhoods even far from the action.
yeah its great they literally told it to say it was real and it still didn’t
just showing the progression throughout the incident
Sweden’s government has long advised against travel to Gaza
they didn’t fucking GO to Gaza. They were the subject of piracy in international waters
here we go:
then later
I might be misremembering but I thought initially it was saying white genocide is real and then they changed it to say “its complicated but its probably not genocide” or whatever wishy washy stuff but the through line was the whole time it was bringing it up at completely irrelevant times. If I can find a citation I’ll linky
1440x900 probably is more than the native resolution of that tv. If you want to find the correct max resolution you could look up the model number to find it
or just start low and work up. 640x480 is basically unusable but a very safe fallback.
Yeah, everything gets spun by the israeli side. They’re still doing the terror supporter allegations this time, just not as much in english.
I will say that if the flotilla was just random activists… no European Parliament members and less white people they would have absolutely murdered everyone on board without thinking twice
Yeah 100% I mean they tried with the last one. plausibly deniable explosions, a little jamming, and bam it just sinks. It was lucky they didn’t all die tbh. Good preparation I guess.
And in 2010… idk I assume the IOF plan was to do the same “capture the activists, arrest them, rough em up and take the ship” routine, but there was some dipshit american ex-troop who decided to put up a one man last stand and fight them and then 10 people died in the fighting. The deaths are still on the israelis really, but fuck that guy.
be arrested with all their high profile crewmembers (greta, member of euro parliament, etc) and use that to push their countries of origin to put pressure on israel. It probably won’t work but it’s better than nothing I guess. if no country/other actor is willing to push back in any way to guarantee gaza’s freedom of navigation rights I don’t see how it can work except to raise awareness of the siege.
I don’t get it, video uploaded fine, is it not working for you? clearly it worked if it was able to be reuploaded to tanketube. I had to get it under the filesize limit
it was a cordless phone and a dive bar that hadn’t changed much since the 80s
I still have one of these
I’ve yet to find one with a working payphone in the last 5-10 years, but several with non-working payphones in little booths they never bothered to rip out
Rough headline, I thought they were already arrested somehow.
A little bit (also in the central us) but its not that frequent
much more common on amtrak
windows did it already
yeah. I think demoralization, staffing levels, and shit like you describe, has done more to improve the police situation in portland/mpls than intentional reforms tbh
it also produces some negative outcomes in terms of just lawlessness, but I’m not convinced its not a net positive to just have lazy cops who won’t get off their asses since less police interaction=less harm
