He was lying flat on his back in the road with both hands in the air, shouting that he was a therapist and the man beside him was autistic and holding a toy truck.

A policeman shot Charles Kinsey anyway. Kinsey asked him why.

The officer said: "I don't know."

North Miami, Florida, 18 July 2016. Kinsey, 47, was a behavioural therapist. One of his patients, Arnaldo Rios Soto, a 26-year-old autistic man, had wandered out of a group home and was sitting in the middle of the road playing with a silver toy truck.

Someone called 911 and reported a man with a gun threatening to kill himself.

Kinsey did everything. He lay down in the road on his back. He put both hands straight up in the air where they could be seen. He shouted his identification, his job, his patient's condition, and that the object was a toy. It is on video.

A SWAT officer fired three rounds. One hit Kinsey in the leg.

Then he was rolled over and handcuffed, bleeding in the road, and left there for a reported twenty minutes before an ambulance got to him.

He asked the officer why he had shot him. He has testified that the answer was: *I don't know.*

The officer, Jonathan Aledda, said he had been trying to protect Kinsey and believed Rios Soto was armed and a threat. He was charged — which is itself unusual — and tried twice. The first trial produced a conviction on one count of culpable negligence. A judge threw it out. A second jury acquitted him in 2019.

Nobody has been held responsible.

Kinsey survived and gave interviews, and the sentence he keeps returning to is the one everybody should take from this.

He was unarmed, flat on his back, hands up, announcing himself, in daylight, on camera.

He did everything right, and it did not matter.

Every Black parent in America who has ever recited the rules to a teenager — hands visible, say sir, do not move, announce what you are doing — has had to reckon with Charles Kinsey, because he followed all of them, perfectly, out loud, and was shot anyway.

Milei afirma que compite contra sí mismo y nadie más. Sin embargo, la persona que tiene la mejor imagen positiva no es él, sino Cristina Kirchner. Perseguida, proscripta, condenada sin pruebas y encerrada en su domicilio, tiene el 45,1% de imagen positiva.

Fransa'da solun lideri Jean-Luc Mélenchon:

“Hayat pahalılığına ve eşitsizliğe karşı sandığı mı bekleyeceğimizi sandınız?

Korkun!

Çünkü Fransa halkları, sizlerin her rezaletini örtbas etmek için milliyetçi propagandalarınızı yiyecek kadar salak değil.”

IF losing Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, Niger 🇳🇪 and Mali 🇲🇱 and their natural resources, especially rare earth metals and precious minerals did this, imagine how bad things will get for France if all remaining ECOWAS nations grow a spine and get rid of France...

Albania tampoco se quedó hoy atrás, los jóvenes lucharon un día más contra el gobierno sionista de Edi Rama, un corrupto que dijo que le temblaban las piernas de admiración ante Netanyahu.

Los manifestantes usaron cañones de pirotecnia y molotovs contra los sicarios policiales.

A ellas, la derecha las acusó de atentar contra la democracia cuando solo querían defender la educación pública, una jubilación digna y que no se lucrara con la salud de la gente. Las reprimieron brutalmente, como hace la derecha cada vez que defiende el neoliberalismo

In late 2019 a man in Michigan paid $70 for a worn couch from a thrift store. Howard Kirby was looking for an inexpensive living room set. His house was in poor condition and the roof was leaking so badly it needed an expensive replacement he could not afford.

For several weeks the unusually firm cushion never became comfortable. Eventually he unzipped the cover. Instead of old foam he found thick bundles of hundred-dollar bills. Hidden inside was $43,170 in cash, the forgotten savings of a man who had already died.

Lawyers confirmed that because he had bought the couch outright, the money legally belonged to him. No one was likely to come looking for it. Kirby could see the stacks of cash and at the same time look up at his leaking ceiling. Still he said, “It wasn’t mine.”

He returned to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore and asked them to help find the family who had donated the couch. They found Kim Fauth-Newberry. The couch had belonged to her late grandfather, who had quietly hidden his life savings inside the cushions. After his death the family had donated the furniture without realizing the money was still there.

Kirby met the family and returned every dollar. Once word of his honesty spread, local contractors learned that the man who had just given away more than $43,000 was living under a badly damaged roof. A roofing company donated all the materials and labor to replace it at no cost. Neighbors also organized a fundraiser for some of his other expenses.

Kirby had every legal right to keep the money. Keeping it would have made his life much easier. He chose not to, simply because he knew it was never his to keep. It was a quiet choice to do what he believed was right when no one was there to make him.

Ever since the Sahel boys took back their countries and began reclaiming control of their resources, France has never been the same.

This is why they killed Gaddafi.

African sovereignty comes at a heavy cost for those who survive on Africa’s plunder.

Europe would go bankrupt without an Africa to loot.

A truly sovereign Africa would change the global balance of power forever. 🌍✊🏿

This is a huge scandal: The campaign of Brazil's far-right, US-backed presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro paid a US company that sells an AI system for manipulating elections.

Bolsonaro's right-wing party also paid the US company, which maps voters and makes fake social media accounts to spread disinformation online targeting crucial voters.

This revelation comes after Meta admitted that it censored the accounts of left-wing candidate Lula da Silva and promoted Bolsonaro on Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.

Israel is attacking Jews.

The only crime of the old Jewish man who was brutally thrown to the ground and beaten by the Zionist Israeli police was that he was against Israel and Zionism and believed in the Torah.
