I can't deal with this. It has to stop.

I just watched the footage and once again I'm blown away by the callous disregard for life. What the AF is wrong with people! 🤬

At this point, I think cops simply need to be disarmed. Period. Very few specialized cops should be armed in special circumstances. Outside that, cops need to just rely on their f-cking "de-escalation" skills alone. If they're scared, then they can call it in and get support. No more f-cking drawing weapons against unarmed civilians though. We can revisit this if and when too many cops are dying from all the many scary things they constantly need to draw their weapons for. We will then address their concerns with the same level of effort that civilian deaths are being accounted for.

The end.

Take the f-cking guns away!

Okay. Now the end.

🤬

Honest question. Is that photo actually from the event? Maybe it's all the poor quality sources I'm seeing, but I don't see the wound/blood. And he's been photographed making that hand pumping motion numerous times.

I don't doubt that he would take advantage of something like this since he brands everything he can. And it's gross. So gross.

But... is that what's actually happening here or is this misinformation?

It's terrible how companies like this can do anything they want with impunity.

This tool seemed so beneficial.

Agreed. I don't think it will go anywhere right now, but until politicians actually try to push this, it will never gain traction. With the number of voters that support it though, I'd like to think this can eventually be a winner for politicians...

This isn't the first time I've heard such good sense coming from Spain, lately. I normally don't hear much in the news headlines, but I hope I continue to. We need more vocal leaders like this challenging Western hypocrisy.

Giving it a go now. Thanks!

Curious, how does one summarize a video like this? I imagine I could make use of this quite a bit.

On one hand, kudos to figuring out how to do this. On the other hand, aren't scalpers reselling at a much higher rate in order to make profit? Aren't ticketmaster's costs already outrageous? Regardless of the outcome of this case, consumers still seem to lose...

I was wondering if you had done more. Two minutes?! Wow.

I get pretty lucky with dragonflies compared to most other critters. They are so cool. 💜

Gotta be honest, I'm normally sleepy at that time as well. Late is late.
