People are expressing outrage about how Ben Roberts-Smith was arrested, saying it was too public. He was arrested with no cuffs, not a hand on him, despite facing allegations of war crimes.
I can’t help but think of the young Aboriginal boy wrongly arrested at gunpoint by the AFP on a Canberra bus.
A boy who was wrongly identified, profiled because he was Aboriginal, searched even after police realised they had the wrong person.
An innocent child, just trying to get home – publicly humiliated, a gun drawn on him.
Where was the outrage then?
Where has it been for the hundreds of Black and brown people who don’t survive police arrests, who die at their hands?
Spare me your tears for Ben Roberts-Smith. If you have a problem with the police, at least be consistent.
I have been 100% certain of few things in life. One of those things is that the mad fuckin grifters had absolutely nothing to do with that cunt Sandilands getting shut down.
A code red has been called for Adelaide starting tomorrow if you're a rough sleeper please call this number. If you have mutual obligations please call your provider and try and reschedule @antipovertycent
I hope the PhD lady got a chance to do something nice to celebrate, like perhaps having coffee in her garden with her spouse, or sharing a bowl of chili with her neighbours
Not gonna get into the broader convo but I think it's wild both how little empathy people give Ashley Reese on here and how much they project onto her. I've never seen her give more than her own personal experience, which I think she's allowed to talk about
Idk if this is a hot take or not but I feel like saying "grape" instead of "rape" has watered down down a lot of y'alls perception of how severe and horrendous rape is.
@marnievinall Remember when they got like 50k+ at Adelaide oval for grand final? And every GF since then they have at stadiums that hold a few dozen people and are like "why aren't people coming?" Yeah it's a mystery
i think terfs are hateful and bitter and gross people but make no mistake they represent the minority and i think the vast majority of women are kind and empathetic and caring and always want to lift other women up and this extends to my trans sisters and nothing will change that
