It’s been forever since I went dancing, but I went to support my favorite DJ•DC and see friends I have not seen in two entire years. I stayed masked the whole time. Also full on into yet another goth phase. (You can’t tell, but the tights are spiderwebs.) #belalugosiisdead #undeadundeadundead #nonemoregoth #dancing #skulls #glitter #ohgodmyfaceontheinternet #yesiam51 #yesthereisafilter #docmartens #over50style #mystyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ6QJ_tuCHm/?utm_medium=tumblr
A man who wanted to join the protests in Canada’s capital over
mask mandates called in a bomb threat so police would waste their time
chasing it, authorities said, but he called the wrong Ottawa — a village
in Ohio.
The man, a 20-year-old from Akron, Ohio, called the
Putnam County Sheriff’s Office twice Monday, said sheriff’s Capt. Brad
Brubaker.
The first
time he made a bomb threat, and then in a second call he said he had
been shot, Brubaker said. That’s when the man found out he was talking
with someone in Ohio. …
James Craig, the former chief of the Detroit Police Department who is
currently running as a Republican candidate for governor of Michigan,
said he supports the Canadian anti-vaccination protesters who have
paralyzed travel across the border with their blockade of trucks.
“I stand with the truckers,” Craig said in a statement issued Friday. “I
support all working people who are standing up for personal freedom.”
It seems that if Craig is a defender of the right to protest, he is selective in his support, however.
In 2020, DPD responded with a crackdown when Black Lives Matter
protesters, led by local group Detroit Will Breathe, took to the streets
of Detroit as part of the wave of protests across the nation against
police brutality, following the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George of
Floyd.
Craig tried to get ahead of the situation.
In a press conference, he said he supported the Minneapolis Police
Department firing the four officers involved in Floyd’s death, and even
went as far as calling it a “murder.” He also issued a memo to his
department reiterating its use-of-force policy, which prohibits neck
restraints, and also emphasized the importance of de-escalation in
altercations.
Under Craig’s leadership, DPD responded by issuing a curfew. When the
protesters defied the curfew, DPD responded by firing tear gas and
rubber bullets at them.
In another incident, when BLM protesters blocked the streetcar on Woodward Avenue, DPD again responded with force. …
