So it turns out the nypd RPD held down and strangled a man in distress untill he died. This happened MONTHS before George Floyd, but it was apparently buried. Recently they released the bodycam footage, showing he pleaded for the police not to shoot as he was disabled, which prompted them to cover his head with an "anti spittle/bite" hood and knelt on him until he died.
From what i've read, no cops have been fired, let alone charged with anything.
No jokes this time.. i'm sad and knackered and i don't know if i have anything insightful to say about this.. but couldn't find this on the chat, i felt like we should know and not let the murder go unknown.
That too.
When I first came to Rochester, I was told about "the letter Avenues", which from what I understand are the most impoverished and rough areas.
I once was in the car with a friend with the windows down and a car pulled up to us and said "ay you need a plug?" to which my friend replied "nah i'm da plug" and they went "WORD" and turned up their music and started dancing in their seats till the light turned green. I love that city.
I wish there was a solid solution to revive that city. There's so much beautiful late 19th/early 20th century architecture that is basically rotting due to flight in general. Imagine what it would be like if kodak didn't laugh off the digital camera.
