Serving in law enforcement is a dangerous and important job.

However.

This article omits important information, thereby implying that law enforcement is somehow becoming an increasingly dangerous job.
That doesn’t appear to be the case.

2017 saw 129 officer fatalities. There have only been four years since 1959 that had fewer fatalities.

The average from 2002 to 2016 was 159. 2018, so far, has seen 144.
There were 5,147 fatal work injuries in the United States in 2017. By far, the most common cause was transportation incidents, which accounted for 2,077 (40%) of deaths.

In 2018, 50 officers died in traffic-related incidents. 52 officers died in firearms-related incidents.

I talked to a guy yesterday who voted for Beto on the first day of early voting. He’s voted straight ticket democrat in Texas for 40 years, and he said “it just drives me crazy when people don’t vote. That’s how we got in this mess.”
And I told him sure, but after a few weeks in mostly low-income neighborhoods around Dallas, I’ll never complain about people not voting again. Because that assumes people don’t vote out of laziness. Or apathy.

And that could not be more innacurate.
People don’t vote in America, because we’ve allowed America to become a country without a voting culture. Voting is not for everyone. Voting is not who we are.

Voter suppression is often incremental, but the results are immediate, and passed down to future generations.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how Boomers bullied Gen X into the political apathy of the nineties, and how it allowed them stack the deck in their favor for a generation.
Boomers called Xers lazy, spoiled, and selfish while pushing this myth of the American taxpayer. “I’m a tax-payer,” they sneered, like some stereotypical 1950s husband acting like they’re the head of America’s household because they bring home the paycheck.
In 1972, half of 18-24 year-olds voted. By 1996, it was 32%.

For the 1994 midterms, it was less than 20%.

This idea that a higher income, and subsequently paying more taxes, gives you more right or responsibility to be involved in politics is offensive. And dangerous af.

Just now, on @WIONews - Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina showed all signs towards this. She clearly stated that it is ISI behind BNP & asked Bangla ppl to be aware of nefarious designs. Vowed to bring back Khaleeda Zia's son back who is colluding with ISI. Stage set.
Did anyone else noticed how PM Hasina cornered how ISI is bad & telling people how 1971 was won by people of Bangladesh? I think, she is on a mission.

If all goes fine, I see Jananetri as PM again. If she's back, trust me, a joint force of Indian & Bangladeshi Armed force to take revenge for 1971 isn't impossible. Can be done. Can can. :)

Am sure @whirlybirdguy would love this. :)

.@netflix, which has been in India since 2016, scored big last summer with its massive hit "Sacred Games," its first piece of Indian original content with a mix of Hindi and English. #Netflix has said it would consider cheaper pricing tiers to lure more subscriptions in India.
.@amazon, meanwhile "has no fewer than 30 Indian originals in different stages of production and recently developed a dedicated Hindi-language version of its platform for India," according to the Hollywood Reporter.

@amazonIN
.@Spotify, a Swedish company, is expected to launch in India within the next 6 months, per Bloomberg's Lucas Shaw. But it may face challenges: "Streaming services have about 100 million users in India, but a tiny fraction pay for the services."

#Twitter: what is it good for? How do you get good at it? And what will we do when it's gone? Today in pulp I share a few insights I've gleaned from almost five years of running this account.

Its about to get all meta...
Most people's tweets are a stream of consciousness, and Twitter itself is a daily flow of 500 million of these across the surface of your phone. You are currently looking at the collective unconscious of the planet...
And like any examination of the unconscious you will see things on Twitter that fascinate you and things that disgust you. This is part of its attraction: the filters of discourse become permeable, allowing the unsayable to leak across.

Things like this #Twitter does not show on my time-line. You have to dig through my comments to see. 👇
We are being systematically told to hate each other. If you are from the right you should hate the left and vice versa. There is a lot more to us than that.
The 'right' is being brainwashed as much as the left to cause hate, division and fear. You don't see it yet... You will... eventually.
Nobody is teaching you the fact that your everybody liberals are NOT the paid actors you see on TV and Newspapers. They real people, they hate
Lies and they hate the push for the #pedophilia agenda as much as we do.
The media, the 'at' media is telling you to hate this people. They are telling you that because they are 'liberals' they embrace pedophilia and, what is worst, you are all buying into the bullshit.

🤡 (1) Twitter has never been all that friendly to conservatives but more than ever accounts are vanishing, week long twitmo punishments handed out, IP bans, #shadowbans and now big accounts are under attack. Spoiler alert: it’s going to get worse and here’s why... #seanhannity
(2) We all got “the email” the one that basically debunked #RussiaBots but @SenFeinstein & @AdamSchiffCA still wrote a letter (more on that later) BUT did you read the blog $TWTR shared? Because it’s important they informed us they had partners helping now. Who are they?
(3) Let’s start with the big fish, Common Sense Media, based out of San Francisco, hugely funded and owned by James (aka Jim) Steyer and guess who his brother is??

Let me give @MooreSenate some advice

Learn how to write a thread. You should fire whoever manages your Twitter because its a rookie mistake
Whoever is managing this account, learn how to use the platform before you charge your candidate for your services.
Whoever wrote this Tweet also gave the Business Insider over 400 Retweets of an article that talks almost exclusively about Jones positively
