Protesting is great. It gets you five minutes on the news and completely ignored by anyone in power. You want to get peoples attention you need the violence. Yin need to the burning. Then the news covers it 24/7 and the protesters get a platform.

That's a wonderful memory and it almost prevents me from replying because I don't want to interrupt it , but. Was the woman your mother? Aunt? Sister? I mean you could not have said that? Was she an old hag whom you gave a place to stay the night before?
Sounds like you'd just let any old hag in, which is good trait but I don't sleep in places like yours I need security , women with guns N shit and non racist cops protecting my township.

But there could always be people after me, whom when I went to sip cool non heated drinks with you, followed me, and killed both of us.
That's pretty paranoid, huh? But at least we'd have been sipping cool drinks, ehh!
( I don't think anyone is after me, BTW)
Cheers mate and sweet dreams. ( I might be back for one more post after my late night rounds.

if you never know what you're gonna get
maybe you should try buying boxes of chocolates at a different chocolate shop that actually lists what chocolates have what if you don't like coconut surprises.
aka a meteor could crash down on me and kill me at any moment, but i don't sweat stuff i can't do anything about. i just worry about the stuff i can deal with, and ignore the rest, because why bother wasting energy yelling at the wind?

have no idea who she was, some total stranger, never saw her before, never saw her again just remember she was about half a foot taller than me, had her hair cut short and it was all scraggly and she kept looking around my house with her mouth agape gasping like she was some sort of addict
she definitely was not the former tenant -- was aware of the two guys who had rented there before me
and this was in the same appartment where the SWAT busted the kid up the street
Montréal was strange and am honestly still not entirely certain that I didn't actually die on one of my breakthrough mushroom trips there
the door being unlocked at all was the real mind blow to myself even -- had my grow up at the time so was normally paranoid crazy about locking both because the landlord only had the key to the knob, replaced the deadbolt myself

SonicTitan said: RCMP can be pretty chill. Never had a problem before. Unlike city or town police
According to him they will harrass, be racist, and do stuff they aren't supposed to do.

ironically, the morning news today is actually about the RCMP doing just this 
Quote:
To address the systemic racism against Indigenous people shown by police forces such as the RCMP, Canadian leaders need to look at how different government agencies contribute to that racism, say some Indigenous leaders.
Those leaders spoke to CBC News in response to more than 30 cases of alleged mistreatment of Inuit women by the RCMP. The cases were compiled by the Legal Services Board of Nunavut, which alleges widespread racism and abuse of Inuit, especially women, across the territory.
The board has called on the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP (CRCC) for a territory-wide review of policing.
Aluki Kotierk, the elected leader of Nunavut Inuit, is one of the people calling for a review. This issue hits close to home, she said. The recent death of a man in Clyde River during an encounter with an officer who discharged their firearm reminded Kotierk of her late uncle, Solomon Uyarasuk, who died in police custody in 2012.
Quote:
Kotierk said an examination of the bigger picture beyond the RCMP is needed to understand the high rates of violence and officer-involved deaths in the territory.
"There needs to be a more holistic discussion about all of the different ways in which public agencies are able to work together to build up Inuit so that we can actually achieve what we set out to achieve in the creation of Nunavut."
The legacy of colonization of the Inuit has left many feeling devalued, voiceless and overwhelmed to the point where some turn to violence, Kotierk said.
To address that violence, leaders and government agencies need to look at an individual's life and experiences before the violence itself, she said.
"That [way], we're building people up again, rather than criminalizing people. It starts feeling as though by being born an Inuk, your life is worth less than others."
Quote:
The over-criminalization of Indigenous people in Canada has been a direct result of racism for generations, Pam Palmater, a lawyer and professor of Mi'kmaq descent who lives in Toronto, told CBC News.
Indigenous people are overcharged by police and are grossly overrepresented in jails, but the police can't be responsible for that on their own, she said.
Palmater said multiple public inquiries and commissions over the years have shown that prosecutors request longer sentences for Indigenous defendants, and once in the corrections system, Indigenous prisoners have less access to parole and rehabilitation programs than their non-Indigenous counterparts.
"The entire system works against Native people," she said.
Quote:
Gendered, racialized violence also within RCMP
The CRCC released a report in 2017 detailing abuse and sexual harassment experienced by its own female members.
"If they would treat their own members ... in an intimidating, bullying, harassing way ... imagine what they would do to people without that power, who are oppressed, dispossessed, marginalized and living literally at the edge of society," Palmater said.
Quote:
Collecting meaningful data is one of the two biggest barriers to addressing systemic racism against Indigenous people, Palmater said.
The other big obstacle, she said, is political will and leadership.
Human rights organizations and international watchdogs have told the Canadian government for years that it needs to collect racialized and gendered data in order to address the systemic violence against Indigenous women, Palmater said.
Most recently, the United Nations special rapporteur on violence against women issued a report that highlighted this lack of data in Canada and called for action, she said.
"If governments don't collect data, they can deny that a problem exists."
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/rcmp-violence-inuit-stopping-it-1.5604874
yet even up in Nunavut, people are managing to assemble in solidarity with protestors in the US

For all you out there fighting the good fight, thank you for keeping on where others cannot especially those in the US facing the additional risk of Covid infection with no healthcare coverage

thank you for letting me know but clearly the more important factor of the post was indicating some of Canada's recent issues in association with this thread
think you may have noted it earlier in here, or maybe in the other thread but we have a lot of embeded discrimination that is tacitly approved of in a lot of civilian narrative and they reinforce each other substantially
am just thankful while my crippled ass is limited to my household there are people out there being part of the solution, rather than part of the problem

Oh yeah, all thin blue line symbols by our publicly funded police force MUST be removed immediately. The US citizen is sick and tired on OUR law enforcement officials displaying anti-citizen gang signs on OUR dime. We're also sick of them desecrating the US flag.
