The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

saw a lot of people post that but also saw additional part of the interview with her where she says they probably didn't run into each other on the job. I found it was still a helpful thing to know, though, that they were both tough guy bouncer types! When two of that type end up in confrontation, usually is not pretty.

Did you see any confrontation?
Would confrontation excuse chocking a handcuffed man to death?

Nobody here at Dag is on the police officer's side. Nobody. And nobody on white liberal twitter. You are not going to be able to straw man this one. It's going to be hard to find the straw men for you, they're not out there.
I posted Andrew Yang's comment on it yesterday on PP's thread while you were still concerned with BBQ issues as if they were life and death and as if threatening to call a cop is as important as a cop strangling an obedient suspect to death. I was following the story while you were arguing about dogs on leashes and white privilege.
Yang said it for me, it was homicide, clear and simple, I posted it yesterday here @ 7pm:

There's not a lot of evil whypipple out there supporting homicide by this cop, didja even notice? It's clearly a case of higher ups (Dem ones in this case) protecting police privilege.
When are you ever going to see that no one here at Dag is your enemy and to stop treating us as we are? You are as bad as some cops sometimes, open your eyes and see what you do.

You posted
In response, I asked if you saw a confrontation.

The video doesn't show what happened before he was subdued.
Not that it matters about the homicidal situation after he was subdued.
Wouldn't excuse it in the least how the two of them acted before. But could be a helpful lesson in learning to defuse violent cops while they are still with us.

"Wouldn't excuse it in the least how the two of them acted before. But could be a helpful lesson in learning to defuse violent cops while they are still with us."
This is important in all these cases. I want to get the full story in all it's complexity and nuance even if it doesn't change my opinion about the ending. I don't want to just jump to the easy answers.

Yeah, I wondered why there weren't huge riots over birdwatcher, dog humping, or BBQ Becky, but that's just me "whining".
by PeraclesPlease on Fri, 05/29/2020 - 4:05pm
nothing is ever gonna be solved if every grievance is thrown into a huge bag labeled "white privilege". All that does is simplistically divide further into racial tribes. Fact: lots of poor whypipple don't feel privileged, deal with that. Sometimes it gets to be just like the apocryphal Jay Gould quote: I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half Heck, Trump has basically hired the aggrieved over political correctness to feed his narcissism.

The concept of white privilege is not going away
You will have to expand your horizon to understand why the meme exists.
by rmrd0000 on Fri, 05/29/2020 - 5:26pm
You will have to expand your horizon to understand why a lot of poor white people, even far left liberal poor white people like me, don't buy into that meme
by ocean-kat on Fri, 05/29/2020 - 5:32pm
That is fine. The meme will remain.
by rmrd0000 on Fri, 05/29/2020 - 9:33pm
It may have been the homicide.
Taking a wild guess.
