This is to pride discourse like when a new guy comes into the wrestling ring w a chair. Absolute mayhem to the discursive ecology

if being a cop is your literal identity... then nope, you do not belong at pride.

The Stanford prison experiment tapes were so stupid when I watched them in AP psych and so stupid when I watch this film about them. Literally they could’ve all sat and played cards and got $15 a day to tell ghost stories all day and be best friends. But masculinity and whiteness and power created this violent irrationality that positioned young ass men to be met with brutality and trauma and disrespect even when it was obviously taken too far. and it makes no sense. If someone put me in a room with Black girls and said I would get paid $90 a day (that’s the equivalent apparently) to be a prison guard, do you know how fast I’d be sitting with them and learning about them and exchanging Instagrams and like.. sleeping.. like what the fuck was the point of any of that…

My psych teacher introduced us to this study and literally before she showed us was like “don’t ever confuse a study based on one type of person (white men/boys) to be an example of an Everyman situation. There is strong evidence that if this was recreated with diversity, or even just with girls, that the results would have been drastically different. This is an example of bias and sexism in the medical research community.”

“Other, more subtle factors also shaped the experiment. It’s often said that the study participants were ordinary guys—and they were, indeed, determined to be “normal” and healthy by a battery of tests. But they were also a self-selected group who responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking volunteers for “a psychological study of prison life.” In a 2007 study, the psychologists Thomas Carnahan and Sam McFarland asked whether that wording itself may have stacked the odds. They recreated the original ad, and then ran a separate ad omitting the phrase “prison life.” They found that the people who responded to the two ads scored differently on a set of psychological tests. Those who thought that they would be participating in a prison study had significantly higher levels of aggressiveness, authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and social dominance, and they scored lower on measures of empathy and altruism.” http://www.newyorker.com/science/maria-konnikova/the-real-lesson-of-the-stanford-prison-experiment

The thing about this study is that whether or not it’s generalizable to the public is debatable at best.

But it’s certainly generalizable to the population of people who tend to be drawn to prison system and law enforcement jobs because that’s exactly the demographics that tend to show up in those positions.

I’m glad to see even cows hate the police

Due to recent events people gathered to protest police brutality really often. And needless to say their response to violence from police is really fast. As soon as they hear about the death of another black man or woman or a child they organize protests and events to seek justice for these victims. And every time this happens they need support, they need food, water and other resourses, however they never get any. There are always volunteers and donations, but real help and support from the government are necessary ,too. Now it’s clear, nobody cares.

#Repost @nique_tha_gr8 ・・・ If you were watching the #noindictment verdict being delivered, #ferguson protestors SILENTLY AND PEACEFULLY walked away. Thus, respecting The Family of Mike Brown’s wishes of having a peaceful protest. In contrast, building up to the verdict, police all over the country have armored trucks, extra paddy wagons, etc. waiting “just in case.” 😒😒😒 Now, who and what will YOU believe? Mass media that was anxiously chomping at the bit for “good tv” or #peacefulprotestors who are providing LIVE accounts of #ferguson? #justiceforMikeBrown #arrestDarrenWilson

moreover, there’s every reason to believe that some of the fires were initiated by the tear gas canisters (I saw at least one small fire start up after one was shot and just started spewing flames in a parking lot). There was also minimal agitation in the crowd until the police started trying to corral people and box them in. at which point the police THEN issued dispersal orders (where you gonna disperse to when you’re boxed in by lines of police in riot gear). and THEN the police started firing rubber bullets and tear gas. So let’s get this right: Protestors stood and made their hurt known; they even tried to stop vandalism by agitators/anarchists/plants. When they tried to march police BOXED. THEM. IN. and THEN delivered orders to disperse. the police THEN started firing rubber bullets at close range, tear gas at head height hitting at least a few people and starting at least one fire they fired tear gas into residential areas and at parked cars in strip mall lots they didn’t show up when protestors were trying to report looting and vandalism because they were….? Because I was listening to the scanner while watching two live streams and the news (yeah I know, sounds wild but hey gotta cover as much territory as possible) and the cops didn’t respond to any actual trouble. They only instigated violence between them and people who were protesting.

OMG CAN YALL PLEASE BOOST THIS! THIS IS IMPORTANT!

Although walking the news and live feeds on my dash I knew something wasn’t right and the police commissioner was lying! Everything this person is saying is how I felt!

Be alert they are trying to trick us to be even more segregated within our community! Don’t be fooled!

I saw for myself on CNN, when 3 of them were on-air as the police began to fire tear-gas cannisters to disperse the crowd, there was a small fire behind Tapper on the ground. There were small fires caused by them before, as witnessed on livestreams. Always be suspicious.
