major shout out to all the protestors in NYC & across the world. disrupting traffic & making people uncomfortable about the way law enforcement are able to skirt certain rules in the name of upholding the law & serving the public. is it justice or just-us
usually when some one says they can't breathe, they might be in distress, even if it's a seven foot tall black guy selling cigarettes
the way the entire administrative part of this is being handled by law enforcement/the courts is a damn shame. immunity to some officers makes the public think something was done wrong . . . wait something was done wrong, you can't choke a guy out cause he doesn't want to cuff up. thanks 2 all the officers & law enforcement folks who just want to do their 8 hour shift & are good people. i feel really bad for you all as you have to take the charge from the public who looks at all law enforcement as a$$holes
smh
no easy answers. until people policing communities can identify with the people they are policing things aren't going to get any better. implicit bias is a mofo ain't it

Some of the people I work with are absolute f**king morons. Was meant to be reviewing a submission prior to it being submitted to a client to check that what has been done is correct and to plug a few gaps that we know of. Never have I seen such a lacklustre crock of absolute shite in my entire life. I now have a shit load of work correcting the steaming barrel of turd that my colleagues presented me with as they frankly can't be fucking trusted. It's fucking wank. Words poorly written, numbers poorly substantiated, supporting evidence incomplete, presentation epicly crap. Very very fucking angry.

@madmonday NY is showing the world that America can still do peaceful protests. Very proud of that, I also appreciate the "I can't breathe" campaign. It's hard for me to imagine choking someone to death as a means of restraint, and it's hard to imagine how a police department can use as their defense effectively "dude was out of shape, it's his fault he's dead" and get away with it.

Medicine exams. It doesn't matter if I learn the stuff or not, I just get bad marks. Today I knew one answer.

+1 on hating moving. I shifted out of London at the weekend, and am heading to sunnier climes in a few days.
I've had a big falling out with Yodel. I packed off a bunch of clothes in a box, amongst other things, to be sent North as I was travelling by bike. It was meant to arrive on Friday last week, as it was the 24 hour service.
It's still not here. I had a chat to their online service rep yesterday, and was promised it today. No sign yet…

I'm feeling rather fecked off with Hastings Direct Insurance.
Had my bike insured with them, and just had to cancel the policy as I've just sold it. Under their terms and conditions, I can't get a refund because I've had more than six months cover. Fine. But then I have to pay £35 to end it early, and no option to leave it running due to legal requirements by the insurance trade.
Right, I'm not using them again.

where's the SAS when we need them in NSW…

@Snowy was thinking about asking you if you might have been in that area. it's definitely a shocking situation to hear of. i only hope that whoever's in charge acts much faster. delaying the situation is usually a bad idea and give an upper hand to those gunmen. how bad is the lockdown though?

The distances are exactly what they're reporting, about a 4 block radius blocked off, with most buildings in the CBD on full lock down, with banks totally closed, no traffic was allowed in today. Going to be a very long night for those in the building. tomorrow morning is going to be dangerous for those in there I'd say. Sleep dep will be kicking in.

It's all over the news in Germany
-
as soon as i turned channel 9 and 7 on for the evening news, it was all over and the live updates being shown. can't imagine those having to turn up to work tomorrow especially when the lockdown is extended till tomorrow morning..
@beautiful_FrEaK it's in germany too? i guess it's no small issue if something like this is broadcasted all the way in europe.

(Thanks for your thoughts BTW. I was wondering how many did/do know what was going on over this way today…)
Aweful Situation, wishing the best for the poor innocent people. Since its taken place in a Swiss Company we are delivered with an online newsticker and latest tweets over here. Hope special forces solve it without any harm for the innocent.
Problem with media is that too much information could play into the hands of the captors. Hope Police cut it where necessary.
