Yes, I also wanted to mention the latest statement of the WH spokeswoman: normally one reads such stuff on The Onion and similar satirical websites.

But now this is the reality, FFS!

 

During the last months of the Tsar’s rule in Russia, when Rasputin ran amok, the French ambassador wrote home to his superiors: “Unfortunately, I am now forced to conclude that the Russian Empire is presently governed by lunatics.” (qoute maybe not precise)

Wonder if any diplomat now reports something similar home from Washington....

I think they’ve been writing that for a while now...
If it took them this long to figure that out, I question their abilities as a diplomat.

Did the man confront the police? Yes. Is there multiple other ways they could have handled this situation? Absolutely (a simple detainment comes to mind, or even a simple shove to the side while assisting the older man in moving). Should we hold these police accountable? Absolutely.

I can’t believe this country. We can’t even pass a anti-lynching bill in 2020.

Some of the biggest protests we’ve seen so far in the U.S. today. It seems like almost all of them have stayed peaceful. It will be interesting to see where the BLM movement goes from here.

Slowly back to home, work and/or the campus safe space, until the whole thing starts again because of the next George Floyd or Tony Timpa or whoever will be the victim of the next psycho like Chauvin.

Germany has the goal advantage (+21 to +20), and has to play the three weaker teams, so its more likely to qualify.
