It’s worse than that. That wasn’t a rubber bullet, that was another tear gas canister–you can see it a few seconds later in the footage when the camera pans over to the advancing cops.
And they shot him in the crotch with it.
If I were feeling charitable I’d say that the cop who fired the shell was aiming for center of mass and miscalculated the distance and hit the guy low.
But I’m not feeling charitable. It’s clear that was a deliberate malicious attack designed to hurt the guy as badly as possible with the weapon at hand. The goal was to cause him pain and intimidate bystanders.
this really is dystopic, isn’t it?
Shout out to the dude who came and helped him up
THIS IS WHY YOU BLACK BLOC. WHEN EVERYONE IS MASKED AND IN ALL BLOC, IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE POLICE TO TARGET INDIVIDUALS LIKE THIS
MASK UP, COME IN BLOC, BE PREPARED, YOU. COULD SAVE SOMEONES LIFE
Also get to know your street medics and maybe buy them a drink later. They’ll often be the ones picking you up and making sure you’re good after this shit happens
Amy Cooper calls the cops on a black man in Central Park, addressed as Mr. Cooper, and falsely claims he is threatening her life after requesting her dog be leashed in a leashed dog area.
She is the head of insurance investment of Franklin Templeton, who merely put her on administrative leave.
The video also shows Amy Cooper abusing and choking her dog, and has since surrendered it to the shelter it was adopted from.
It also appears, through posts to her dogs Instagram account, that she is a frequent animal abuser / neglectful.
Her racism could have gotten this man killed and she knew it. She tried to sic the NYPD on an innocent black man and she knew the possible outcome of her actions.
Her name is
AmyCooper
Don’t let that bitch prosper.
I’d also like to note this comes the same day Minneapolis police officers choked a black man, identified as George Floyd, to death while he was already handcuffed and compliant. There is a video of people screaming for the officer to stop kneeling on his thoat while the man repeatedly said that he couldn’t breathe. He then fell unconscious and died. They were apparently called to the scene over accusations of someone committing forgery
Our Commercial Crew Program has worked with several American aerospace industry companies to facilitate the development of U.S. human spaceflight systems since 2010. The goal is to have safe, reliable and cost-effective access to and from the International Space Station and foster commercial access to other potential low-Earth orbit destinations.
We selected Boeing and SpaceX in September 2014 to transport crew to the
International Space Station from the United States. These integrated
spacecraft, rockets and associated systems will carry up to four
astronauts on NASA missions, maintaining a space station crew of seven
to maximize time dedicated to scientific research on the orbiting
laboratory
We begin a new era of human spaceflight as American astronauts will once again launch on an American spacecraft and rocket from American soil to the International Space Station.
Demo-2 will be SpaceX’s final test flight to validate its crew
transportation system, including the Crew Dragon spacecraft, Falcon 9 rocket, launch pad
and operations capabilities. While docked to the space station, the crew will run tests to ensure the Crew
Dragon is capable of remaining connected to the station for
up to 210 days on future missions.
Our Commercial Crew Program is working with the American aerospace industry as companies develop and operate a new generation of spacecraft and launch systems capable of carrying crews to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station. Commercial transportation to and from the station will provide expanded utility, additional research time and broader opportunities for discovery on the orbiting laboratory.
The station is a critical testbed for us to understand and overcome
the challenges of long-duration spaceflight. As commercial companies
focus on providing human transportation services to and from low-Earth
orbit, we are freed up to focus on building spacecraft and rockets for
deep space missions.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
