BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, People of Color

I thought it was for People of Color who swing both ways.

My take is hotter.

    Here are some of my photos from protests in Houston tonight.  The cops did their best to divide and disperse the crowd.  I saw a couple of arrests, but not sure the context.  I have never been in the

Thanks, but doesn't the POC encompass black people?

AOC is whiter than I am.

Based on your posting history, I’m confident in saying no one is whiter than you, John.

I've heard this is the Land acknowledgement being considered.  

Land Acknowledgement

"The University of Texas is situated on land that was once the territory of the Tonkawa  and Apache, but was lost to the Comanche, who took it through murder and slavery. Then the Europeans came and they had guns. And Smallpox.

They are going after the Eyes of Texas as racist.  Bullet point 6

 

Discontinue any use of “The Eyes of Texas” at all UT related events, and compose a new official school spirit song with the inclusion of BIPOC composers and musicians.
 

Don't give a fuck, still going to sing it.

Nah, they stole it before we did.  Really, we stole it from thieves, and no honor among thieves and all that.

Hedley Lamarr : If you will just sign this, Governor. Right here.

Governor Lepetomane : Yes, yes. What the hell is it?

Hedley Lamarr : Well, under the provisions of this bill, we would snatch two hundred thousand acres of Indian land, which we have deemed unsuitable for their use at this time. They're such children.

Governor Lepetomane : Two hundred thousand acres? Two hundred thousand acres? What'll it cost, man, what'll it cost?

Hedley Lamarr : [brings out a carton of paddleballs]  A box of these.

Governor Lepetomane : Are you crazy? They'll never go for it. And then again they might. Those little red devils... they love toys!

You want something to really blow your mind (and your wad)?  Check out Ms. Nia Nacci.  Half black / half native american and an absolute babe.

To really settle peace relations and prove we are enlightened, woke, and all that shit she's a native Okie.  And I've probably spanked to her fine nubian poonanny at least 100 times.

It's a trick. Don't do it. 

Harris Co DA says that Mr Floyd's arresting officer from a decade old drug arrest, conviction, and incarceration was likely lying in the case...because that's what he did when not busied by murdering.

The 40 acres belonged to Trilobites

So Atlanta police shoots a black man dead after a complaint that he was sleeping in his car blocking the drive-through lane of a restaurant. Cops show up, give him a sobriety test, he fails it, they try to arrest him, he flees, and they shoot him dead as he is running away. Holy shit if this was not a perfect situation for some other type of response than people with guns.

That song is an embarrassment to a great band..... so pretty much just what we deserve.

They tried to taze him but he took one cop’s taser, ran and then attempted to taze a cop while running away from him. Said cop then Un-holstered his pistol and opened fire.

I mean, the cop KNEW it was a taser because it was just taken from his partner while the two of them struggled with the suspect.

How did he try to taze the cops while he was running away? Cell phone footage didn’t get the shooting, but it didn’t look like there was any way he could have tried to taze the cop while he was running away.  I think they were just amped up and didn’t want to chase him. 
 

I would like to see the beginning of that interaction to know how it escalated to a fight.

Right. So, drunk man sleeping in a car. There shouldn’t be any need for people with guns or tasers near him. There has to be a way to address these non-violent situations without violence. 

This dude was sleeping in a car. George Floyd was allegedly trying to pass a fake $20 bill. The big black dude in NY was selling loose cigarettes. All dead. Un-fucking-believable.

During a short foot chase Brooks “turns around and it appears at that time he points a Taser at an Atlanta officer,” Reynolds said. That's when the officer drew his gun and shot Brooks, he said, estimating the officer fired three times.”

Linky ABC News

To play devils advocate, Brooks fires taser, incapacitates cop, grabs actual gun from cop, profit?

There will be plenty of what ifs on this one. It shouldn’t have escalated to the chase in the first place given the facts so far.

Eh never mind, there were two in pursuit. Poor training and decision making. 

I didn’t see video of him turning. All I see is the statement “it appears he turned around ...”. Do they have footage of him turning around?  It’s not in cell phone footage. If their body cameras don’t show it, I don’t believe it. 

Does it really matter if he turned around or not? Why are the fucking cops giving a sobriety test to a man who is not driving and doesn’t pose a danger to anybody? Why are they trying to arrest a man whose crime was to fall asleep in his car?

The call was for a sleeping guy and they somehow managed to kill the guy?  What the fuck.  Wake him up and talk to him.  If he’s sober it should be obvious and let him go.  If he’s drunk, and takes your taser, call for back up and just contain him.  At no point should they pull that trigger knowing he does not have a gun on him.  Wait for backup and then get him on the ground some other way.  What the fuck.  How do cops not have this training?

Escalating shit and going full meathead seems to be the order of the day. The correlation between steroid use and tribal tattoos might be a good place to start the weeding out process.

The encounter at the Wendy’s began around 10:30 p.m. on Friday when police officers were called to the restaurant because Mr. Brooks had fallen asleep in his vehicle, which was parked in the drive-through, causing other customers to drive around him, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.

It wasn't like he had parked there to be safe. He had driven to the restaurant, was in line for the drive through, and passed the fuck out.  The cops still fucked up, used excessive force, and should lose their job.  But definitely not as clear cut as George Floyd, especially as it looked like from the video, he turned and attempted to taze the officer in pursuit.
