The boot lickers really like to correct two points:
Breonna Taylor was not sleep when she was shot: true, she was awoken by the battering ram used to crash her door in at 1am.
Police didn't shoot first: also true. Kenneth shot an officer in the leg when they entered and, naturally, because they're all scared incompetent knobs, they responded in a hail of bullets, eight of which entered Breonna.
The cops claim to have knocked and announced themselves. This is a lie. No neighbors heard them announce themselves. Furthermore, they obtained a no-knock warrant specifically for the sole purpose of carrying out a drug raid by catching a drug dealer off guard and forcibly entering without warning (such as a knock and announcement). They wanted that specific warrant so much they misrepresented evidence to a judge to get it. So they did all that and got a warrant saying they did not have to knock or announce themselves and then just went on ahead and did it anyway? Cause they're just so polite?
They were also in civilian clothing and either not wearing body cams or had them turned off. So I'm not even sure how their word was just taken on all that.
They have indicted ONE cop for something that had nothing to do with her murder, it was for endangering the lives of OTHER residents by opening fire inside of an apartment complex.
A reminder that the person they were looking for, Breonna's ex-boyfriend, was already in custody at the time they murdered her.
A reminder that the mail investigator or whoever they claimed to get a tip from to get the warrant said they lied.
A reminder that the cops submitted an almost blank report with blatant lies, including that Breonna was not injured.
A reminder the prosecution tried to get Breonna's ex-boyfriend to implicate her in his crimes in April, after they had killed her.
A reminder that because of Breonna's case, no-knock warrants are no longer allowed in Louisville (but they knocked right?)
A reminder that the city settled out of court for $12M in the wrongful death suit, so they possibly feared losing in court and paying more.
Decided to make skateboarder Peri into her own separate illustration as well, because on this blog we block TERFs and support trans rights.
the nastiest thing about the breonna taylor decision is you can tell there was some fucking cost-benefit analysis that went into the decision. they started preparing for how to crack down on civil unrest before the decision was even announced, which tells me that they had a choice between accountability and spending the foreseeable future beating protestors in the streets. they obviously thought the latter was preferable to letting even one officer take responsibility for murdering an innocent woman in cold blood. what sucks even more to me is probably how easily they made that decision. it’s like our public services are only accountable to capital, and not the public, or something
‘Cause their dynamic is perfect, like what else do you expect from Phineas and Ferb?
I really want a villain who is a “MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS!” person facing a hero who is a “one black coffee” person.
fun fact that many people do not know, princess tiana is real!
After read some chapters of SPY x FAMILY (really enjoyed it!) I just imagined the first volume cover as a doujinshi lmao. I made this Loid's (very) suggestive fanart taking the doujinshi idea and the official manga covers as inspiration Hahaha. Maybe it was a bad idea but I liked a lot the result. Hope you like it! 🕵️♂️🔥
Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

I love Lumity just like everyone else, but people gotta start using the right things for Amity, because I’ve seen WAY too many lesbian flags, like yes that’s great that they are getting in the spotlight that isn’t ew, but I thought Amity was Bisexual and not Lesbian. Like I know that we’ve only seen her be a disaster with Luz, but if she was confirmed Bi, then use the Bi flag, I’m sorry, but I just needed to get this off my chest. [Nvm new info came to light, and I now know]
