Five police shot during U.S. protests, Trump says he could bring in military reut.rs/2AypwZ2
These police were shot last night
Aka all Trump did, obviously, was escalate things even more
> Demonstrators set fire to a strip mall in Los Angeles, looted stores in New York City and clashed with police in St Louis, Missouri, where four officers were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
I'm sure this is what he wanted, so he can use it to justify using lethal force
> “We had to protect our headquarters building, they were throwing fireworks on officers, fireworks were exploding on officers,” he told reporters. “They had officers with gas poured on them. What is going on? How can this be? Mr Floyd was killed somewhere else and they are tearing up cities all across the country.”
Welcome to the fear black people experience in your country everyday? That is pretty fucked up, though.
But well the US Justice system also brought all this on themselves :/
At this point I can't help but wonder if these protests will ever die down

Main difference if Obama was in power is the POTUS wouldn't be actively escalating things.
Obama had 8 years in office and never addressed the issue of corruption in law enforcement, while this kind of shit was happening, so it's not like 4 more years would've made a difference.
He might actually respond with trying to enact actual change... but again, all this would've still happened. Plus, again, he had 8 years to already implement change and did nothing.

Ooh hey, first these white people try to dissuade me and a friend from going to solidarity protests with things like "black people don't need that" now they're trotting out all lives matter things
These are the same people that ganged up on me (a trans person) saying "No no no, $term isn't a slur against trans people, it's perfectly fine to use"
Well "ganged up"
Refused to listen when I said nooo it's basically considered not a good term
And that they were right and I should listen to them
(both me and the friend are white, for the record... they were trying to say solidarity isn't needed)

@TimStone a good flight simulator reconstruction popped up on my YouTube recommended: youtu.be/zO5rXxJRmf4
Essentially: flight was too high and too fast on the approach. Because they were overspeed, the landing gear did not deploy. Pilots either did not hear or ignored several master warnings about improper landing configuration, and GPWS gear and flaps warnings. The captain noticed that they weren't slowing down because the gear wasn't on the ground, and initiated a go around, but the engines struck the ground during the go-around, causing an oil and hydraulic leak.
 
Wipqozn
Wipqozn
@fredley Curse that "stars reserved for News items" rule!
 
Unionhawk
Unionhawk
I don't know if I buy landing gear deploying since the go-around procedure is set TOGA->retract flaps 1 position->upon climb call positive climb and command gear up
But it seems possible and definitely would not help maintain altitude
They did ignore "TOO LOW - GEAR" though so

@Unionhawk I guess the "good" news here is that given the actual audio it was definitely an accident, but urgh, seems like a lot of factors at play :/
As an aside, not that interference isn't commonplace in air communications, but jfc someone get Karachi Tower a better mic

Boy, that 4% is extra super delusional:
Went back and forth between the Nick Cage vs Willy Wonka "Really" meme, but I think this one more fully captures the nuance I was going for.
In unrelated bad news:
> Most Americans, more than 7 in 10, say they would get a free vaccine, with 43 percent saying they would definitely do so. Among Republicans, though, only 58 percent say they would probably or definitely get the vaccine — with a quarter saying they definitely wouldn’t.
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
Not sure if it's disturbing or encouraging that only one fourth of Republicans believe Bill Gates is trying to inject them with a microchip
 
BradC
BradC
I think the fact that one quarter of all Republicans say they definitely would not get the vaccine is the more important takeway here.
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
Right but I assume that's because they think the above
 
BradC
BradC
Perhaps the Bill Gates theory falls under "other"
 
Nzall

@BradC I'd think it'd fit the trust category
Other would probably be something like medical reasons (allergic to vaccine) or religious reasons
 
BradC

4:49 PM
@Nzall probably. A disturbing number of people are distrustful of vaccines altogether

@BradC I think i saw a video recently explaining that people tend to overestimate negative risks and how likely they are to apply to them
 
Tim Stone

Yeah, I think it could fall under all of the categories, heh

@BradC polling has actually been changing a lot on this
> NATIONAL POLL: Majority (57%) says police are more likely to use excessive force on blacks than whites. Up from 34% in 2016.
> By RACE:
87% Black (77% in 2016)
63% other minority groups (39% in 2016)
49% white (25% in 2016)
I mean it’s EXTREMELY far from reality
But still good that more people are understanding the major systemic problems in policing

Skrewdriver
Skrewdriver were an English Neo-Nazi punk band formed by Ian Stuart Donaldson in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire in 1976. Originally a non-racist punk band that was very influential to later Oi! bands, Skrewdriver changed into a white supremacist rock band after reuniting in the 1980s. Their original line-up split in January 1979 and Donaldson reformed the band with different musicians in 1982. The new version of the band played a leading role in the Rock Against Communism movement. == Career == Ian Stuart Donaldson, formerly of the cover band Tumbling Dice, formed Skrewdriver as a punk rock band...
Since I never heard of them before. Probably because I'm not a Nazi.
