Stop Violence - Tumblr Posts
NFL star in handcuffs:
It remains to be seen what the consequences of the incident will be for the players involved.
Shortly before the start of the NFL season, superstar Tyreek Hill was temporarily taken into custody as part of a traffic stop. As a result, the pass receiver and his team were asked to take a critical stance towards the player. The police justify their actions.
The police had previously released video footage from bodycams documenting the stop. The published video footage shows Hill sitting in a black sports car. A police officer approaches his vehicle and Hill hands the officer something through the lowered window. The window is then rolled up again.
The police officer then asks him to lower the window again, but Hill does not do so. Another police officer then forcefully opened the driver's door, whereupon Hill was pulled out of the vehicle and pinned to the ground. An officer pressed his knee into Hill's back, whereupon he was handcuffed.
‘I still don't know what happened,’ Hill said after the NFL opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars (20-17) and criticised: ’What if I wasn't Tyreek Hill? God knows what those officials would have done.’
The Dolphins wrote in their statement that this was ‘a reminder’ that ‘not every situation like this ends peacefully, and we are grateful that it did in this one.’
There are ‘some officers who confuse their responsibility and dedication with misguided power’, it continued: ‘We commend the MDPD (Miami Dade Police Department, ed.) for taking the proper and necessary action and releasing this footage so quickly, but also urge them to take equally swift and decisive action against the officers who behaved so abhorrently.’
Hill uncooperative according to police
No, Power abuse in its purist form.
It's interesting how many cops turned up on the tray for a normal traffic stop!
Any non-POC citizen would have had no problem getting into his car and the traffic stop would not have happened, this is structural racism!
The black man with the big fat car fits the image of police officers abusing their power.
Throw them out, they have no place in the police force, at most as security guards in a shopping centre car park.

Of course, first investigate properly and then throw them out, that's just our opinion, then jobs will open up for more capable people with a greater sense of responsibility and the appropriate de-escalation skills.
Cops on Steroids?
Is that the problem? It's interesting when a professional athlete looks like an untrained citizen against a normal patrolman, isn't it?
I can only puke for the steroid pumped up cops with their bullshit core spirit.
Do a test on steroids with one of them - I bet you'll be surprised.
Yes, it is frightening how humanity is sacrificed to the rational, justified thinking of the brutal makers in this world, which has not improved at all.
Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon and so on and so forth.
Death and destruction only bring more death and even more destruction. We are, in parts, truly disgusting, violent beings who are far from any concept of civilisation that we could achieve.
I am ashamed of humanity.
Religion, power, stupidity, arrogance, greed, fanaticism, all of this is unworthy of us.
And even if our so-called civilisation were to last for another thousand years, we would still kill each other.
Only those who understand what real peace means will do everything they can to ensure that all people benefit from it.
The rest are just motherfuckers who play power games for some kind of ulterior motive.

Those who love people make sure that they can live in peace and unity. This emphasises their connection, unites them and leads them to the realisation that we all have to live together on a tiny planet and make it our paradise and not our hell.
@gisele-bechaufsnz thank you!
The events that unfolded over the past 24 hours in Atlanta were not isolated incidents. Hate crimes against Asian Americans have increased nearly 150% in the US in the last year.
Last June, in the wake up of yet another uprising in hate crimes committed by white supremacists, we released the following statement:
White supremacists, Nazis, and other purveyors of hate can fully fuck off. They are not welcome here.
These words are as true today as they were then. We stand with the Asian American community. If you see hate speech on Tumblr, please report it. That shit is not tolerated here.
To help the survivors and families of yesterday’s hate crimes, please consider donating to a nonprofit like the Atlanta branch of Asian Americans Advancing Justice if you can. If you can’t, consider spreading the word. We’ll list more resources and reblogs over on @action as we find them.
As always, please make sure you are taking care of yourself as well. If you’re struggling for any reason, please reach out to any of the free and confidential counseling services listed here.
