All Those Racist Asshats Trying To Justify Their Views Now That The Bodycam Footage Of George Floyd Getting

All those racist asshats trying to justify their views now that the bodycam footage of George Floyd getting arrested was leaked... shut the fuck up.

He complied - he put his hands on the wheel, then on his head.

He had a gun pointed in his face for no reason.

He was having a panic attack.

He was claustrophobic- and before you say shit about him already being in his own car: there is a massive difference between sitting in the front of your own car where you can see and control everything and can see a wide view of the space around you and know there's a lot of room, versus being pushed into the back of a police car with your arms behind your back, unable to move, unable to get a clear view of things, and with a giant wall of reinforced glass blocking you in the back. So shut the fuck up with that attempt at an argument or justification.

He asked to lie down so he could breathe. He asked to lie down so he could breathe.

The officers were not trying to calm him down. They didn't care.

No matter if he was resisting or complying with arrest, or if he was having a panic attack or if he was on drugs, none of that is a reason or justification for the officer to kneel on his neck for 8+ minutes. None of that is justification or a reason for the officers to ignore him pleading that he couldn't breathe, that he was being choked.

The entire time, he was begging for his life.

And if you're gonna say shit like "he said he couldn't breathe while he was still standing" - yeah, having a panic attack does that to you. It's not uncommon, and is actually common sense.

George Floyd was murdered on camera by police. That fact hasn't and will not ever change.

Please rb if u save <3

Listen, I have seen many a posts to the tune of "Hozier is a fae god!" Or "Florence is a fae god!" And I am here to tell you that neither of them are fae gods. Paramours, probably, maybe members of an Entourage, but gods? No.

You want to know who an actual fucking fae god is???

Kendrick Lamar.

The pettiness. The creativity. The persuasiveness. The accuracy. He had 110 million people across the nation today singing "a minooooor" like it was fucking nothing. This man has cast a thousand-year curse on Aubrey Graham's bloodline that cannot be undone through mortal means.

Now, THAT is some fae god level shit.

people aren’t petty or stupid for calling out ableism in the warriors series. yes, it’s a children’s book series. no, that doesn’t mean it’s immune to criticism. if anything, children’s media should be held to a higher standard because kids are impressionable, and if they’re being sent an ableist message, they lack the critical thinking skills to pick that apart and understand why it’s wrong on their own.

nobody is mad that disabled cats are being shown as having it hard. it’s warrior cats, so everybody struggles and suffers. and obviously being disabled isn’t a cakewalk. however, when these characters are consistently shown as being unhappy and downright miserable with who they are and their lot in life, to the point where their lives are devalued as being less fulfilling than abled characters, that’s an issue we really should address.

disabled people can love themselves. disabled people can be satisfied with their lives. but so much of what we are told by the media we consume tells us that they can’t be happy the way they are. they need to be “cured”. their quality of life is inherently “worse” than an abled person. it has less value. but quite plainly, that’s not true! call me an sjw but i think disabled children deserve to read books where characters like them don’t hate themselves
