The city of Philadelphia will pay $2 million to a Black woman who was pulled from a car, beaten by officers and had her toddler used for social media fodder by the police union, officials said.

Nursing aide Rickia Young was headed home in the early morning hours of Oct. 27, 2020, when she unknowingly drove into a large protest over the police killing of Walter Wallace Jr.

She tried to make a three-point turn to get away from the tense scene when officers smashed out her windows with their batons, according to her attorneys.

Young was handcuffed and separated from her teenage nephew and 2-year-old son for several hours, and no one was ever charged or cited, according to the woman’s lawyer. The hearing-impaired toddler lost his hearing aids during the tussle.

The Fraternal Order of Police, the nation’s largest police labor union, posted a Facebook picture two days later showing Young’s toddler in the arms of a Philadelphia police officer just after the incident.

i still remember watching my first kdrama and getting really confused because the subs translated oppa as brother and i was so offended that this girl not only had like four brothers but also had a weird incest-crush on one of them. 

someone: supergirl can’t like lena, she has liked boys before 

me, a bisexual:

someone: can you believe andrew garfield said he wanted spiderman to get a boyfriend, i mean he had a girlfriend in the past, he can’t be gay 

me, a bisexual:

someone: steve rogers can’t be with bucky, he dated peggy, he is obviously straight

me, a bisexual:

someone: what do you mean wonderwoman is bisexual? she had a boyfriend

me, a bisexual:

someone: this character is straight because he/she only has been with people of the opposite gender

me, a bisexual:

If you see this

You were visited by the magic kitten of rest. Reblog to have a good night’s sleep.

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

This is important hello (x)
