POLICE BRUTALITY CASES: WALTER SCOTT MURDER & MORE

[HairOfTheDog]

The 'South' has traditionally been delineated by the Mason-Dixon line, which separates Pennsylvania from West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. During the Civil War, 'Dixie' became a nickname for the Confederacy, and its believed to have come as a reference to the Mason-Dixon line (even though Maryland and Delaware were slave states, but did not secede).

Well, that clears it right up.

Protests similar to those in the United States are underway in Israel too. Last weekend, dozens of protestors against police brutality and racism were hospitalized following clashes with the IDF in Tel Aviv. Some officers were also hospitalized.

Most of the protestors were Israelis of Somalian descent. The protests and riots began after Israeli police patrolling a minority neighborhood were filmed by a witness harassing and then beating what turned out to be a black IDF soldier who'd broken no laws and was just riding his bike.
