I think a bullshit job is one where you don't get paid, or get paid very little.

I wonder how many people will discover the arrow in the Amazon logo representing “everything from A to Z” because of this.

It's obviously his fault, but the cops could have prevented him from tragically taking his own life

Political violence is sometimes justified. Just hard to see how it is in this case. If Derek Chauvin is acquitted this week. There's a good chance he will be at least partially, based on the trial evidence of drugs and heart disease being the main cause of Floyd's death. If so, this whole incident, will be the ultimate example of misleading video, amplified by lying journalists, for clicks and violence for political gain. As soon as one side is allowed to use violence to achieve political goals, what is to prevent the other side in acting the same way. It will be interesting to see how Biden will react when the shoe is on the other foot.

> drugs and heart disease being the main cause of Floyd's death

It's Floyd's fault, he was minutes from death's door, wheezing and barely hanging on to life, when the police showed up and tried to extend his life by kneeling on his neck, but he was too ill and he passed away as if by coincidence

I don’t understand the point to begin with. Assume competent malice by the police. What do they stand to gain by unlawfully photographing journalists that they could not have obtained by simply lawfully checking their credentials?

They are intimidating them, you know, like fascists do sometimes

> Journalists covering a protest in a Minneapolis suburb Friday night were forced on their stomachs by law enforcement, rounded up and were only released after having their face and press credentials photographed.

> The incident occurred hours after a judge issued a temporary order barring the Minnesota State Patrol from using physical force or chemical agents against journalists, according to court documents.

Sounds like the police don't care about the judge's order, nor the rights of journalists.

The 2nd amendment is good for them, the 1st, not so much

... who left their computers unlocked?! Shouldn’t someone be raked over the coals for leaving a computer unlocked at an agency like that, even if it was just their marketing department?
