=George Floyd Original Booking Press Release

Feels like a good time to re-read the George Floyd press release before the video…

Police put lies out to the media including:

–“He was ordered to sept from his car. After he got out he physically resisted officers.”

–“Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress. Officers called for an ambulance. He was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center by ambulance where he died a short time later.”

— “At no time were weapons of any type used by anyone involved in this incident”

Standard operating procedure for police covering abuse and excessive force as described 2 months ago in excellent Pro Publica piece about “covering charges”

ASAP Bari’s controversial statement he posted on social media has raised plenty of people’s eyebrows.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a lesbian. My girlfriend and I have been together for a couple of months now. We fell in love quickly and we’re getting ready to move in together. I’m really excited about it, but an “incident” happened recently while we were spending time together. We were watching TV, and I noticed she was on a website looking at women wearing bikinis. At first I thought, “Are you serious? Right in front of me?” So I looked over and asked her about it. She looked back at me and said, “What?” It made me feel incredibly insecure. I know she loves me, but she doesn’t understand how hurt I was see… Read More

Hong Kong Free Press
 

The Hong Kong Court of Appeal ruled on Wednesday that transgender people in the city cannot change the gender on their identity cards without undergoing full sex reassignment surgery (SRS). Chief Judge of the High Court Jeremy Poon, Vice President Susan Kwan, and Justice of Appeal Aarif Barma rejected the appeal filed by Q and Henry Edward Tse, who are transgender. Q and Tse filed a challenge against a High Court judgement handed down in February 2019, which affirmed the government’s policy that a transgender person can only change the sex on their identity card if they undergo full SRS.

125 employees of German Catholic Church come out as queer in joint initiative AP in Catholic Reporter

“The initiative is calling for all LGBTIQ who work for the church to join up, and appealing to bishops to give its manifesto public support. It assails the church’s “discrimination” against same-sex relationships and argues the church should make clear “that LGBTIQ+ people, whether living alone or in a relationship, are blessed by God.”

Can a snowplow metaphor help white Catholics understand racial privilege?

“After prayer, reflection, dialogue with my editor and many conversations with trusted friends and colleagues, I decided to accept the invitation with the caveat that I would intentionally narrow my book’s audience so that I was speaking directly to women and men like me — white Catholics in the United States. …I was already self-aware enough to realize that a book about anti-Black racism written by a cisgender, white, male, ordained member of a religious order was not, in itself, necessarily a good idea.”
