It took me two seconds to type "gas mask" into Amazon, and that's in the UK. Pam Bondi is fucking thick.
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

Our initial analysis is up.
The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.
He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like:
1) They were beating a struggling man with batons
2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back
3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away
4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back

Any Half Man Half Biscuit fans on here interested in going to their Manchester gig next Friday night? (30th). The people I was going with have dropped out so I’ve got 3 tickets spare now and @twickets.bsky.social isn’t working so I can’t list them there. £30 each (FV + fees). Mobile tickets. #HMHB

The conspiracy theory that I believe in the most is that supermarkets display less loose produce nowadays so that they can put at least one piece of damaged/dated fruit or veg in each pre-packed package and pass the wastage on to the customer.
#FoodWaste - it is what the supermarket model is built on: full shelves, all of the time with every product, can only create waste.
