What's going on in Minneapolis shows how dangerous social media can be. There appears to be clear video of the guy killing himself. It's tragic but it has nothing to do with the police, but rumors that it was a police shooting seem to have spread out of control immediately.

2/ Don't watch this video if you're easily disturbed but do share it with anyone spreading misinformation about what happened. It comes from a Star-Tribune reporter.https://t.co/04eCBCklSS

In Minneapolis, a man killed himself. Someone spread a false rumor this was a police shooting. Some people opportunistically started rioting/lotting. In order to rebut the rumor, the Minneapolis PD released a Twitter video of his suicide.

This is a bad time.

JUST IN: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has called a curfew and called for the National Guard after downtown stores were damaged and looted by crowds who came after a report of a man's death on Nicollet Mall. https://t.co/QaeY1aG66f

Clear from this video that the police did not ignore the looting of the main Target store (Target started in Minneapolis)

The downtown #Minneapolis @Target store was looted tonight. Police were already nearby investigating a suspected murder and subsequent suicide. The store closed and employees were evacuated as a group once the looters were cleared. #Riots pic.twitter.com/jj9yyIRiK3

This video is very good thorough local TV news report about the incident and including statement by Police Chief and other law enforcement authorities about both the incident looting and rioting, includes some of looting as well independently verified (reporter got hit with liquor bottles, had to leave...)

Mia Khalifa Rebrands
Mia Khalifa Rebrands

submitted by Orion 1 week ago

I wanted to repost this post that Artappraiser put up.

In the article, it is mentioned that Mia Khalifa was rooming in a $550 apartment in Miami after becoming world famous.

The porn industry, which was once upon a time seen as empowering by some, completely ripped her off. Despite clearly continuing to distribute her sex tapes, she never got any sort of royalties.

The Bustle article even demonstrates that the pornographers went out of the way to endanger her - putting her up in a hijab when she was in fact raised Catholic.
