Also, I was thinking. These are the incidents that we are getting to see. How many will occur when someone’s not rolling the whole time.
Comment on Shooting an unarmed woman who was just trying to walk home: just LAPD things

Person who took this video is an actual hero. I don’t want to imagine what could have happened to that woman without them.
Also: don’t make the mistake of looking at the replies to this on Twitter. I forgot just how bad it was, but nearly every top reply is by verified accounts trying to justify this somehow. It’s actually insane to me the complete lack of empathy these people show - past party lines and political differences, isn’t this obviously a bad thing that shouldn’t have happened?

That’s what I wanted to leave here as well.
The coloured girl immediately overcome her fear, crossed the street very aware of her surroundings and defended that shot girl.
She observed the situation, decided to put herself into danger to assist this foreigner. Such a strong and lovely human beeing 💪.
I leave her my deepest respect. Whish I could give her an hug as a thanks.

It’s a Nazi bar. Don’t expect reasonable posts from Nazi’s. There is no cross party lines with them.

I abandoned Twitter for Mastodon a few months after Musk bought Twitter. I figured I’d keep the account around to DM people who there, just in case my need to do so arose. Then I kinda forgot about it. Cut to a few months ago I sent a message to someone on a different service. I knew they were doing a project, but I politely asked them “hey, do you have the interest and time to do xyz?”
They said “I’m sorry, I’d normally love to, I’m just really busy right now and don’t have the time; you probably know I’m doing ABC myself.” And that was legit. But they added “Also, you should know I generally don’t work with people who have Twitter accounts anyway, for future reference.”
Initially I was “But wait, I don’t USE it…” But I took a few minutes to think about it. I mean, he wasn’t wrong. I DID have an account at the Nazi bar… And I don’t use it. It just lends my name to the service for no benefit to me. And that’s why I decided to download my data and delete my account. Sometimes calling people out (in a helpful way,) can be a positive.
And that, dear reader, is now me reminding you that you can delete your Twitter account and stop supporting the Nazi bar.
