It’s true!

Bass Reeves was so dedicated to the law, he even arrested his own son Bennie for the murder of his wife. Bennie was sentenced to life in prison. With over 3000 arrests, 14 kills, went his entire 32 year career in law enforcement without being shot once.
He was assigned to bring in the notorious female outlaw Belle Starr. Once she got wind who was after her she turned herself into the federal court.
Reeves was one of a few Marshalls who would venture into Indian territory *oklahoma*. After the age of 67 he retired in 1907. He enjoyed his short lived retirement as a police officer in Muskogee Oklahoma, his assigned beat had 0 crime reported until he died at the age of 71 of Bright’s disease.
He was one of the true gun slingers of the west.
I would expect nothing less from a man with such a magnificent mustache
I love the story of Bass Reeves!
One of his famous tactics was, if he was captured or in danger by a criminal he was hunting down, he would ask them to read a letter from his wife before they killed him. He used their distraction to free himself and get the upper hand.
He was also a freed slave. George Reeves, his owner and reason for his surname, took Bass with him to fight in the Civil War. However, George became violently angry after Bass beat him at a card game, and Bass was forced to fight him (or kill, on some accounts) in self defense.
After running away and entering Native American territory, Bass learned how to speak the languages of the ‘Five Civilized Tribes’ (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muskogee, Seminole). This part of his life is where he mastered marksmanship. He got married and had a family after the Emancipation Proclamation was declared, and then later became a Marshal, going on the adventures listed above (and many more… Another famous criminal that Bass captured was Bob Dozier.)
He was the very first black US Marshal. May we never forget him, as history would suffer to lose such an outstanding figure.
Always, always, always reblog Bass Reeves.

Working in the ER of hospital with a large psychiatric facility, there was no night that NYPD didnt bring in an “EDP”. They agitated the situation and the person more because they arent trained to de-escalate shit or how to properly handle “EDP” calls. Imagine having an episode and next thing you know you’re surrounded by 20 agressive officers with guns drawn. Thats traumatizing on a “normal” day.
All of those things listed are bad, and you should feel bad.
Each and every one. Including when it’s in America.
Does the boot taste better when it’s privately owned
privately owned “boot” can’t throw you in prison or legally kill you for funsies
private businesses can’t legally kill you lol remember when bayer legally sold HIV positive blood and caused an aids crisis or when coke and chiquita funded death squads to attack unionised workers hëhëhë remember when nestle starved babies by giving mothers just enough powered milk that they’d stop to lactate then hiking the price lmaooo remember when cutter gave live polio to children xd remember when asbestos companies continued to operate after it was banned lmao remember when chevron dumped toxic waste into the rivers hohooohoo
Somehow this video captures the scale of whales better than any other video or photo I have ever seen.
*softly but with feeling* holy shit
Actual faith vs performative religion.
To shave your beard is a huge sacrifice for a devout Sikh. It is a sacrifice for the greater good, that many people will scoff at without understanding the amount of love it took, to give up part of your faith to serve the greater purpose of that faith. Bless them all.
it is a huge fucking thing, like. Holy shit. I have so much goddamn respect for those sikh men who have shaved their beards in order to help keep people safe.
But people who say that masks “dishonor god” somehow? they can rot in their god’s hell as far as I’m concerned, because they’re disgusting hateful people who are performing religion without any true faith or care.

“Don’t call Trump supporters nazis, it hurts their feelings.”
Yes, this is real (link to tweet). Yes, Tucker Carlson is literally repeating Nazi propaganda that aided the genocide of the Romani during the Holocaust. Yes, I am furious.
(Also, although there is a large population of Romani in Romania, they aren’t indigenous to Romania. They’re a diasporic group originally from northern India.)
Romani and Jewish have been screaming at the top of their lungs for years about neo-fascism in Europe, and Americans were totally aloof.
Then neo-fascism reared its head in America, but Roma and Jews were left out of the conversation in terms of people being impacted, because our oppression was “over.”
Now Tucker Carlson is on live TV using slurs and Nazi propaganda about Romani people, and I’m 90% most people on the left are just going to ignore it.
It’s fucking starting y'all. It’s happening again.
If you’re not Jewish or Roma PLEASE BOOST THIS.
Also, G*psy is a slur so stop saying that shit
