It had to be a joke then right? Mind u ive met some dumb coppers. One once managed to drop my licence in the gap where my window goes down and blame me for it.
Comment on How did I miss this important Australian historical event?

Haha, I saw it around when it was originally posted. It’s just so bizarre I didn’t know what to make of it. I couldn’t find an extended version or anything describing the context around it.

I think it’s because people used watermelon emoji to represent Gaza support (because of the colours) so now watermelons are antisemitic

Oh, I’m aware, it’s just bizarre even with that context. But yes, important to note for anyone not aware.
