Trooper tases teen on ATV. Police video reveals what happens next.

“He slowed down. We tased him, and he crashed out,” former state trooper Mark Bessner said of the Detroit encounter that killed Damon Grimes.

This is how our children are viewed. But we’re told to stop mentioning it. To them, our kids come out of the vagina full adults. 

And then when they are told that our kids are legally kids they come with this bullshit.

What did the police think would happen? They tased a 15yr old kid on a vehicle moving at 35 mph. And he died as a result. Sounds like murder to me.

Police are just out there hunting innocent black children. They aren’t even trying to hide it.

9 Days (216 Hours)

Much time has passed since the last entry. Frankly with the whirlwind of general life, entries have been back-burnered. Nonetheless, I am back. Yay!

Maintaining social media has been a challenge but has never stopped being interesting. Frantically trying to get videos and pictures of people, thinking of witty captions and posts and simply trying to not let the constant notifications get on my nerves has been wild and wonderful and dare I say…fun?

Often heard is the phrase, ‘communication is key’. This had never resonated with me so deeply until planning this event. One pivotal moment was when we had a meeting with the client’s marketing team and it was made clear that each party had their own, albeit inaccurate, understanding of what the other knew and understood. In this instance, I learnt that the client did have certain expectations of us that were not made apparent and were higher than our abilities. I also learnt that I can get intimidated by people who seem to be authority figures. Still, it was very helpful to learn what their expectations were, what their capabilities and expertise were and how we could utilise them and straighten out any issues early on. Allowing time for preparation could have improved the situation along with more open communication in both answers and questions. Nevertheless, I personally could have improved by being prepared with queries and information myself, whether or not I expected a meeting. Next time, I plan to be more prepared but also to value my contribution, even as a student. Although there are notions of being unqualified and inexperienced, there is still much value to being in my position and that should be more celebrated when working in the near future.

I also have been more aware about the value of communication in a recent lesson that I had to learn. In a different way to that described above, I had asked a colleague to carry out a task and it did not get done. Although it was not entirely my fault, I have learnt that people are likely to not do something if you do not chase them about it. I have also learnt that delegation is important and even though one person may fail, that does not mean that I should take up every task in fear that it will not get done. If a similar situation arises again in the future, I plan to share tasks among at least two people, so that they are accountable but also so that not all the pressure is laid onto one person.

I still need to work on effectively and consistently communicating, but I do believe that the more challenges that arise, the more opportunities to learn develop with them.

Oh and it is nine days until the main event. Yaaay.

The portland police bureau let this nazi murderer grab a beer before they arrested him.

they KILL black people for nothing more than being black, but this guy slashed the throats of two people and injured a third after terrorising two teenage girls, and he gets to go get a beer. not shot, not even injured. apprehended unharmed.

“The Portland Police Bureau allowed known white supremacist Jeremy Christian to drink a beer before apprehending him, he had just stabbed three people - killing two of them.

This was not as frightening as Quanice Hayes, a 17-year-old child who hadn’t hurt anyone, who was executed by “frightened” police while on his knees.

This was not as frightening as Terrell Johnson, a young man who hadn’t hurt anyone, who was running away down railroad tracks, who was shot by police because the officer “feared for his life” because he spotted an X-Acto knife.

The white supremacist is now safely under their protection, like he was at the “free speech” rally at Montavilla, like he was going to be at the white supremacist rally downtown on June 4.

#BlackLivesMatter because it is more dangerous to be black and not have harmed anyone than it is to be white and to have murdered two people on a train full of people.“ -Direct Action Alliance

Three years ago, Flint, Michigan, switched drinking water sources and that led to a public health crisis. 

The Flint water crisis began in April 2014 after the city, which was under the supervision of a state-appointed emergency manager, switched its drinking water source from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, wich draws its water from Lake Huron, to the Flint River. The more-corrosive Flint River water was not treated with proper corrosion controls and caused lead to leach from pipes into homes and businesses.

Despite the importance of this problem, it still remains unsolved…

Super disgusting! People are FUCKED UP. 

It’s racial discrimination to treat someone less polite than someone else would be treated in the same circumstances, because of race. We can’t ignore the case of blatant racism. We MUST draw public attention to such cases. We must ensure that racists are identified and socially discredited. There are no reasons or excuses for racism. It’s just disgusting.
