People don't care about his writing skills. But they sure do care if the color of your skin isn't white.

I didn't realise how bad it was over there and there were many things in your culture that I did not know they meant the things they did such as use of the word "boy" to a black man coming from an aggressive white male. It harkens back to the deep South times that still exists but has been pushed underground over the years. With the uprising of MAGA I think racists worldwide have become embolded to surface from under the rocks they were hiding. It is absolutely terrifying to watch. I notice there was not one black man or woman there on January 6 in the MAGA mob. The only blacks there were trying to protect the joint.

I remember watching it live in Australia in the morning here, with my mother sitting in her chair, it was surreal. I had had a dream about it a day or two before. Luckily I shared that dream with Little Aussie, who is not so little these days otherwise no one on this Earth would have believed me.

Do you know over here in Australia, if a police officer killed someone like the way that happened to George Flloyd it would be a big deal. The fact that the man felt he could do what he liked with this black man said a lot about what was the current climate there in your society.

He was brutalising black people before the George Floyd incident, but George Floyd meant that everything he ever did got investigated. Obviously things got worse and were heightened under the great big fat orange monster Trump.

Cops aren't well trained here, not like they are in many other places. I recall reading that a hair stylist had to undergo more training in order to be licensed than a cop had to in order to join the force. That's appalling.

I am not trained at my job at all. It is a guessing game most days. And that is the design of this place-a learn as you go and ask questions. It sucks. I'm always writing to other managers asking questions. Where is my fucking manual?! (I have one from 2010 that is no longer valid)

Anyway, I notice a decline in training programs for jobs. And the whole "Throw people to the wolves" is bs to me and not cool.

Yesterday's local news had us all looking for a helicopter that wasn't lost. I have no idea. There was never an update after several people said, "Yeah, we saw that helicopter" and then it flew right by us. Wasn't even a santa helicopter.

Well, the Hair Stylist "is cutting peoples hair", and do you know how long for the people's hair to grow back if the stylist screws up?

We were in Stateline Nevada for our honeymoon, I won $65 and we went on a $65 helicopter ride, turns out the pilot knew one of my skydiving instructors.

Oh, and NO doors.

This is insanity. He's 10 years old!

I know people can't just up and leave wherever they are, I understand it's often complicated, but FFS black people, get the hell out of the deep south. 

FFS Duchess,  get your head out of your ass.  He got sentenced to 3 months probation and had to write a book report on kobe Bryant.   Do you think 10 year olds don't know how to go behind a tree or ask for a bathroom,  he fucking whipped it out in a parking lot.   At what age should we teach children not to piss in public.?

The supervising officer/s agrees with me. The officers violated written policy and went against their training. One of the officers is no longer with the department and the others have been disciplined.

The 10 year old peed behind the car door because there are signs in the courthouse saying there are no bathrooms available. He did not expose himself to anyone.

Cops aren't well trained here 

I know, I've seen a few of the Police Academy movies and it was insightful.

Seriously though, the George Floyd thing, and then watching a few others that made the news over here started to show us how scary it must be for a man to get pulled over by police if he is black.

Look at that killer Bryan Kohberger or whatever his name is. When he got pulled over by the cops and his father was with him, they could see the scratches on his hands but he was as cool as a cucumber and just talked to the police like no big deal and he had just killed 4 young people.
