Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

The video footage shows the two being physically detained by officers as they proclaim Austin’s innocence. But it begins with an unusual admission that the officers weren’t sure Austin was the man cited in the domestic violence call.

As their patrol car makes a U-turn after passing Austin, one officer asks the other, “This dude?”

“Probably,” says the partner on the May 24, 2019, recording. The officers were responding to a 911 call made by Austin’s neighbor about her ex-boyfriend, who was white; no description of the suspect is given in the call.

The video then shows Michlewicz attempting to intervene. She can be heard saying, “What is happening?” while she attempts to hold onto Austin as the officers pull him away from her. At one point, her robe comes off, and she is briefly naked on the street. She is eventually pushed to the ground.

“It is racial profiling. They had no description of the suspect — a completely blank slate,” said attorney Faisal Gill, who represents both of them in the civil rights lawsuit. “They literally saw the first Black man, and they arrested him.”

Formal inquiries are now finished and an actual investigation has been launched against Matt Gaetz.

Relatedly there’s a new photo floating around of Gaetz taking a selfie with a bunch of underage women. In a pizza parlor.

Pizzagate was real all along. It was just Pizza Gaetz the whole time.

What EC said: People have been talking about how orcs are depicted and how that relates to depictions of black people/POC, but we want to talk about how bioessentialism is lazy.

How the anti-sjws and reactionary grifters clipped it: “… orcs are … black people”.

The reason for the huge amount of negative reaction is that alt-right people shared this video on right-wing subreddits/social media in order to brigade and strawman it. The orc comparison was an off-hand claim and wasn’t even the focus. The video was arguing how creating one group to be inherently evil is lazy writing. Pointing out how fantasy is constantly using racist tropes used in real life to demonize actual people to create their evil races and how its not really a coincidence that good heroic cultures and humanity is highly associated with European cultures with non-humans regularly being racially coded as non-European cultures.
Examples:
Warcraft. Most of the humans are white with British/American accents. Trolls are Jamaican. Tauren are Native Americans.
LOTR: Humans are white Europeans. The bad guys are from The East. 2 human factions fighting on the side of Sauron and orcs are Easterlings and Corsairs, both depicted as Middle Eastern or generally swarthy-looking.

Pointing this trend out does not mean EC “r teh realz racists!”
