Top 10 essential Verstappen races list please!

I habe been watching since I was a literal infant but I kinda took a break from 2014 until 2018 so I missed a lot of teenage Max lore. Now I treated myself to some f1tv for Christmas and want to rewatch a couple old races!!!

Malaysia 2015 Baby boys first points on his 2nd ever f1 start. Drags that lil toro rosso to q3 and then beats both red bulls. Also very funny to listen to the sky commentary because they dont take him seriously at all but he keeps doing things with that car he shouldnt be able to do so they have to keep talking about him and they're so annoyed about itnklfdjgkfdj

Singapore, 2015 classic max race. car d1es at the start. somehow makes it back on track 1 lap down, waits for his main character moment. gets it on lap 13. breezes past the field. gets told to swap positions. literally yells 'NO' and does not do it. U thought brazil 2022 was shocking, well. Educate yourself

USA, 2015 first of all there was a whole hurricane happening bro like a literal hurricane everything about thsi race is like .. what is going on. Hello. Is that Elton John???? Mind you, its Max's rookie season. Austin with wet conditions is the race track equivalent of a fucking minefield I think like half the grid retired. And still, u will witness that lil boy bring the fight to Merc and Ferrari. He actually fought Lewis and Seb Vettel for a podium. In a toro rosso. yeah

Spain, 2016 anime protagonist race. lil babby makes the jump to the big sister team amid much mockery and controversy, and wins on his debut. I can't say this enough. Max has made a career out of owning up to bitches. Every single time. Mercs take each other out, Danny ric gets inexplicably put on a 3 stopper ((lmfao)), and Max holds off fucking RAIKKONEN on DRS!!!! for like a billion years. Not a wheel out of place. And not even his defining moment of the year. For that, u gotta go with--

Brazil, 2016 He became MOTHER age 19 in Interlagos. Nothing else to say. if ur a verstappie u gotta watch Brazil 2016 like twice a year for ur troubles

China, 2017 just a super underrated race imo. Imma go on a tangent for a bit sorry but one of most insane aspects of Max's move to f1 is that he did so with 1 year of experience in f3. Like f3 had been the strongest engine he'd driven up to that point. f3 cars are fast but they're not f1 fast. So Max was supposed to be like a lil squid in a bowl of sharks. To anybody else it wouldve been extremely intimidating and scary to make that jump and its likely they would've sacrificed speed just because they didn't have that confidence in the car yet. And there'd be nothing wrong with that, thats just normal. Well Max never did normal. Seb put it perfectly and Im pretty sure he's not the first driver to comment on this, but Max goes for moves that nobody in their right mind would even dream of attempting. Shit that takes a special type of instinct, but more than that, a complete lack of fear. And with that comes the other side of the sword, which is the recklessness. Max was a reckless driver. A lot of drivers can be reckless, especially if the car doesn't allow them to just cruise to podiums, but Max was a child. This race is so important in his curriculum because it solidifies that his recklessness is not foolishness, but necessity. Bro passed 9 cars in one lap and held off danny ric with older tires. This after a disaster quali where he finished second to last because of an engine problem. To come back from that and get a podium the way he did, its a character drive. It showed who he was and Max was the future

Mexico, 2017 here. Yeah

Austria, 2018 quali is a must watch for this one. Listening to Max educate his engineers on 'discipline' for even DARING to ask him to pass danny ric prolly makes that move to Renault less confusing. Like u cant fight that. That is not a mf who will ever let u win a world title. But he didnt show it just during quali. This race is important because u can compare it some of his most dominant 2022 victories, in a car that would literally spit out its own tires and explode if Max idk farted or something.

USA, 2018 ok I'm biased but max has never come to the US and not served. Idk why its kind of funny but every time he steps foot in here he stunts and gets super wet and looks amazing. He's also absurdly good in US circuits for no reason. Like Max says, u gotta know how to defend not just attack. Prolly one of the most impressive defensive performances from him here, against none other than sir hammer herself. Lew had fresher tires and a championship winning merc and still couldnt crack lil bro with his renault engine, cap and a dream. Also they literally installed a whole new curb on the track specifically to make drivers stick to track limits and called it the verstopper and that. literal tears in my eyes yk look at this shit

Look at her . anyway

Enjoy thjs humble selection of our fav boy genius/fbi most wanted best hits. Next up

went through my eshop account history and found i paid to renew pokemon bank on these days

03/05/2014 (initial year after the first month)

02/21/2015 (hidden ability johto starters were made available shortly later)

02/02/2016 (hidden ability regis were made available a bit later)

08/27/2017 (they made mewnium z available in JANUARY which was too early to let me renew so of course i forgot for months, throwing me off the here’s-a-gift-to-remind-you-to-renew system they’d been doing for the remainder of when they did it)

09/20/2018 (i wouldve been able to get the hidden ability alola starters and oranguru/passimian, the final gifts, before this pass expired)

10/08/2020 (they stopped the reminder gifts sooo... yeah. 2 years later. my pokemon were fine)

10/26/2021 (started remembering just in time to not need to anymore)

considering bank has been out for 9 years, and i paid for a year 7 times, that means i got 2 free. cool. not sure if they actually deleted pokemon or if we were all just afraid they would (they were always vague about it), otherwise i could’ve gotten more free probably

[smallcrystals]

i've seen a lot of people get annoyed as to why gihun goes back instead of getting on the plane to his daughter, and there are two factors i can think of as to why

for one, gihun is still suffering through the intense trauma the game gave him. parenting while going through this sort of trauma is really NOT ideal.

a lot of parents have trauma in general like being beat as a kid for example (something that is bad but not to the extent that is squid game) and that i know has resulting consequences that can also fuck up the child.

i don't think gihun is in the right state to take care of his daughter. him going back instead of boarding the plane makes sense because at least he can give himself time to heal as well as end what started this game. that's what i think personally and if you disagree, that's fine!

the second thing is a theory or a connection i made. that game he played at the end with ilnam. if someone helps the drunk man passed out in the snow on the street by midnight, gihun wins. if not, ilnam wins and proves his point abt how shitty humanity is (ironic coming from him but whatever).

gihun does win at the very last minute because someone had originally gone to see if the drunk man was all right, and then left so it seems like they just didn't care enough, only to come back with help.

this game has been going on since 1999. there have been winners in the past (the front man, inho for example from back in 2015). none of them have managed to stop the game for probably a variety of reasons (some very valid, some not). some of them may be way too traumatised, some may just be simply horrible ppl, some may have even tried to stop it but failed for another multitude of reasons. we don't know but what we do know is the game still continued on into 2020. maybe gihun might be the first to actually stop it? since yk he's the main character lol

i do want to point out that it's understandable why some ppl may not agree with that decision. trauma affects people differently. ppl who disagree may have put themself in gihun's shoes and realised they would not have made the decision he made. personally, i wouldn't have done what he did either, i wouldve jumped on that plane, get therapy and take care of my kid. but i can see why he chose to in regards to his character.

so yeah! just thought dumping lol if u are into psychological horror, don't mind blood, some gore & major character death, watch squid game :D

why does no one like verdugo 🤨

*Content Warning* Please let me know if I need to add tags

In 2015, Verdugo was involved in an incident where an underage girl was partying with him, another minor league player, James Baldwin, and some women. Allegedly, they got her drunk and then the other women physically assaulted her while both ball players did nothing to stop it (again, allegedly, one of them even recorded the attack and posted it on Snapchat). The girl also accused the other ball player of sexually assaulting her. By the girl being 1) a minor, 2) extremely intoxicated, and 3) passing out during the act, that’s rape. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/nationals/told-of-girls-assault-at-spring-training-hotel-gabe-kapler-dodgers-didnt-alert-police/2019/02/01/45da0208-2624-11e9-81fd-b7b05d5bed90_story.html

Verdugo was not accused of committing either assault. However, even if he didn’t lay a finger on the girl, I think his actions (or lack there of) are deplorable. He stood by and did nothing. He didn’t try to stop either assault, and possibly even recorded the physical attack. He didn’t try to remove the girl from the situation or offer any assistance. His complicity is unacceptable, if not criminal.

Verdugo was not arrested or charged by police. He was “cleared of wrongdoing”, which is what he likes to hide behind. https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/red-sox/red-sox-alex-verdugo-addresses-assault-allegations-i-wouldve-put-stop-it-i-wouldve-done

However, being “cleared of wrongdoing” doesn’t equate to his innocence in my opinion. The criminal justice system is notorious for mismanaging sexual-related crimes, as well as going easy on professional athletes.

Literally nobody is talking about this. That’s what makes it even more aggravating. The Red Sox have been trying to sell him as “the next Mookie” since the trade. He’s not, and he never will be. It’s bad enough that we have to deal with a person like this on the team, but add on that the organization is trying to shove him down our throats? Disgusting.

[ok im not feeling well and i need to vent so im puttig it here. tw periods and tw suicide ideation (past). would put it under a read more but im on mobile so it either doesnt exist or idk how to. sorry]

im on vacation and while not too happy about it, i do like the sea and swimming which is why i agreed to go. only, day one, i get my period. my periods have a heavy flow on days 1 to 3, so i was like, ok, ill wait it out, then ill just use tampons. its fine.

only, this period wasnt like the usual ones, so it only really started today. i couldve swam with a tampon for the past two days, but i had no idea it wouldnt just start flowing harder suddenly and i would have to walk home with blood running down my legs. been there, done that, dont want a repeat. ffs. mix that with the usual pms depression/anxiety/anger issues and complete exhaustion and back pain, and you have a fun time

now, if that was the only problem, id be fine, mostly. its just the usual stuff, id deal. but the place were at is the place we were staying at is the same place weve stayed for the two years of my life when i was constantly suicidal and depressed. i dont remember most of 2015 and 2016, but this place i remember bc this is where i came closest ever to killing myself. im crying in bed while im writing this, and back then i cried in this same bed while planning my suicide. the only thing that saved me back then was the crying, as it exhausted me and i passed out. this happened on the evening of aug 24th 2015, so tomorrow is the sixth anniversary of my almost death. kudos to crying, i guess

and again, usually i probably wouldve been fine with the place - but were not doing 'usually' apparently. the owner renovated and the room im staying in is half the size it once was. same furniture, smaller room = me feeling trapped

so with a mix of pms, exhaustion, pain, past trauma and feeling trapped, i started not sleeping well. i dont sleep well in general, but this is reaching new lows. im constantly twitching which leads me to believe i could experience a seizure (my epilepsy is triggered by a lack of sleep). that would probably be the cherry on top of the cake

but you put a cherry on top of a cake covered in whipped cream, right?

and i just found my freakin whipped cream. in the form of a weather forecast saying that, starting tomorrow, it will start raining. for a week. so if it actually lasts for a week, ill have 3 days left to do summer stuff, but in uncomfortably low temperatures and lower sea temp. i dont do well in cold water, my body works ok, just uncomfy bc its cold, but my heart rate always goes way up, until my chest hurts and well. i dont want to risk my health (life?) for a swim. i saw my mother have a heart attack, i dont want to experience one.

so. im forgetting something, probably, but im just. idk. i just want to feel nice for a few days? like? be out and relax? this was my chance for being not stuck to a room, only to be stuck in a room i almost died in

[novapopstar]

Let me tell a story about true love and loss.

This is one of my favorite stories to tell. And at the same time, its one of the hardest. You don't really get second chances. But if you were able to take that second chance in something you horribly screwed up on, you would take it, wouldn't you? This is gonna sound exactly like those very cliche white boy romance movies that try to be kinda edgy, i know it does in the beginning. Ive lived long enough to know that. But she... She was everything to me. Ive lived so long feeling nothing. She brought a spark to my dead soulless empty life. She was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. Its the reason i took that second chance. She can never know i exist. It was the beginning of summer of 2015. The final day of high school. I finished the exam at least an hour and a half early. And as most 18 year olds do, i put my earbuds in at full blast and passed out at my desk without a care in the world. Im awoken by an earthquake. The worst earthquake imaginable. My name is being screeched by what i can only describe is a Pterodactyl. I pull my headphones out of my ears. "What, Kamyrn?" I am not a happy boy. "The bell rang like 15 minutes ago." Are you serious? "You...didnt wake me up sooner?" The pterodactyl shrugs. "Didnt seem like i needed to just yet." I shouldve punched him right through his ginger face. He had a pale complexion, although more color than mine, freckles on his nose and cheeks, bright green eyes and the most irish looking red hair youve ever seen. Hes actually Italian. Hes basically what you call a cinnamon roll in meme terms. "So theres a music venue happening tonig-" "Nope." I stand up quickly, fix my bangs, and throw my hood up. I tried to bee line for the door but the fucker is always faster. I do NOT do social gatherings. Hes lucky i even talked to him. "Cmon, Tyyyyy! I want you to meet my friends. Theyre playing tonight!" "You know i dont like social events. I cant handle them. Besides i have to get home an-" He grabs my arms and pleads with his eyes. "Just this once? Pleaaaase?" I sigh. I hated it when he did that. I loved him so much i could hardly say no to him most of the time. "Fine. When do we go?" "We can start heading over right now. Theyre setting up and we can watch them warm up!" "You actually seem more cheery than normal. Anything special happening tonight?" "The Goddess, Tyler!!" Of course. "The Goddess" was a girl named Diana. The love of his life. She was literally too perfect. Beautiful black flowing hair, the deepest of blue eyes, beautifully pale skin, the most perfect smile. The sight caused Kamryn to become speechless. Especially since her father was there at the venue. The venue was basically as normal as you can get i guess. Smelled of sweat and heartbreak. The colors were a mix of greys and more greys. It was a really spacious area with some dining tables and chairs. I believe there was a bar at one end of the room. And right in the back was a big stage where they kept all the equipment for the bands. Big speakers lined the sides of the stage including the top of walls for surround sound in the building. This....this was the place i met her. Kamyrn was being interrogated by Dianas father, Marcus. Kamyrn sweating profusely. I mean, i dont blame him. Marcus was ripped and that rugged look and deep voice of his was something to feel threatened about. If you can picture what a roman soldier looked like, ya got Marcus. Diana was giggling and watching Kamyrn squirm the whole time. My senses were broken when the lights dimmed down and the first show was about to start. And as if an Angel has glided across the stage, she appeared. She was the most stunning thing i had ever laid eyes one. Shoulder length chestnut hair, from afar youd think they were green but she actually had hazel eyes, she had the sweetest smile, and i cant forget the red streaks in her hair. Her voice was something of an angel. And i caught myself staring. Ive never been a believer in love at first sight, but, damn... There was no mistaking it. I had slowly began to fall for her that night. But of course, i always have something come up to ruin my moments of bliss. Heres the part where things get complicated as all hell. I finished that graduation exam an hour and a half early because, ive taken it at least 25 times by now. At least at that school. I passed with flying colors because i know all the answers a little too well. The reason is the dumbest reason you have ever heard of. Im an 182 year old, as of 2015, vampire with the body of an 18 year old. All my features resemble a scrawny emo kid. Right down to the black nails, the black eyeliner, and the black emo hair. My purple eyes are natural however. Right now im having what is called Cravings. Now listen, i do not love being a vampire. Ive been running from that life for years. So i cringe at the thought of feeding off a humans. But at this moment in time, i am in need NOW. Therefore i cannot just waltz over to the nearest bloodbank and "charm speak" my way into dinner. I had to do my best to leave the venue without causing suspicion. I keep my eyes closed as i turn to Kam, holding a hand to my head. "Kam, dude im really sorry. The whole social thing is really getting to me. I really have to head out. I do not feel well." "Im really glad you tried to make it though, Ty. Ill check in on you later okay?" I nod and make the horrible mistake of opening my eyes. Kamryn wasnt looking however. But someone else did. My eyes tend to change color depending on the need. Right now theyre clearly gold. Gold for hunger. I quickly make my way out into the alley way. I hate every second of this. The alley smells like rotting shit and cat piss. Its the least of my worries. But its all i can smell. I need that trace of blood. Now. This isnt fun for me. I hate having to walk up to an unsuspecting human and trick them into letting me feed. This woman didnt deserve it. But they dont know what theyre doing when the "charm speak" is involved. Im able to pin her to the wall at this point, shes moaning in pleasure very loudy as i sink my teeth into her neck. I want to vomit. But i swallow and keep it down. She slumps down the wall unconscious. I didnt bleed her out, i never drink enough for that to happen. I fix her body in a way that when she wakes up, she'll think she just passed out from intoxication. Poor girl.. "A vampire? Never wouldve thought." I spin around, blood sorta dripping from my chin. I had made sure i was alone. It was just Marcus. But i didnt know why Marcus would have known. "Clean yourself, boy." I dont even blink as i wipe my chin furiously. "W-why did you follow me?" "I know the actions of a vampire when they need to feed. You showed clear signs back at the venue. I also saw those eyes of yours." "Well, what do you want from me?" He smiled wide. "Youre obviously no threat if youve been living the human world for so long. You nearly looked like death feeding off that woman." I looked defeated. "I didnt have the time to make it to a bloodbank, sir." Needless to say, i was taken back to venue after it was all cleared out. Kamryn looked worried as hell when i got back. "Dude, are you okay? I thought you were going home?" I smiled weakly. "I just needed to take a walk. Marcus found me to tell me to come back so i could meet your friends." Kam flashed a big smile. "Well the only one thats still here is-" "Emma." The Angel had spoken. Kam decided that was good enough and had walked over to flirt with his goddess. "So, a vampire huh?" I blinked. "Im sorry..?" She pointed to the shoulder area of my jacket. The fact Kam never noticed still annoys me. She laughs. "Thats not really the reason. I just know." She smirked. "Ive seen a few in my day. None looked like you though. Why are you trying so hard to seem human?" I felt it was pointless at this point. "I despise vampires." "So you despise yourself?" "Precisely." "Does Kamryn know?" "He can never know." She nods in understanding. "So yeah, im Emma Grayson." She extends her arm and i shake it nervously. Her hands were always so soft. Not to mention calloused. But the best hands ive ever held. "Tyler Deravious." This Tyler didnt realize what he was getting himself into. How this meeting would change his life for the worst. You dont get a third chance. If i could turn back, i would. I cannot begin to tell you the regret i feel writing this all down. I ended up leaving my apartment that i had been illegally living in for years now and i moved into the mansion that i never knew existed in chicago. This mansion housed demon slayers. An immortal roman soldier demon slayer and his adopted daughter. I had chosen to slay demons as well. Including my kind. Things only get more complicated from here. ------------- So im thinking about writing a story out that ive had in my mind since 2015. Im not the best at writing but maybe i can get better along the way if i stick with it. I dont have a name for it yet, but heres the prototype Prologue for my most favorite story ive thought of. This story is an emotional rollercoaster. But it follows the life of Tyler Deravious, a Rogue Vampire who hates the thought of being a vampire. He becomes a demon slayer and learns what its like to have a family after so many years. Falls in love. Learns to be less awkward and more brave. He has to help defeat a great evil that threatens to destroy Chicago, and maybe the world if hes not careful. It might just turn out too much for him. Im really hoping i can do something with this. Its all original! So take my shitty prologue and give me some critiques.

Why the Internet cannot represent the #AssaultAtSpringValleyHigh

Warning : Such articles contains video that are likely to potentially triggering .

He developed. He received. He brutalized.

In a shaking viral video, Columbia, South Carolina deputy Ben Fields( a grey male police officer the size of an offensive lineman, better known as Officer Slam to students) squints toward an gullible young Black female student at Spring Valley High School. Harmonizing to unconfirmed reports, as the Root notes, she refused to leave the classroom per her teachers requisition, for supposedly not following a few simple guilds: namely, to stop chewing gumor to put away her phone. But that’s irrelevant.

As the footage depicts, the unidentified student is apparently without a artillery. She constitutes no clear and present peril. Shes not even suspected of having committed a violent crimes. Yet Fields, acting as the schools safety officer, enters the classroom to occur on the teaches behalf. Hes barely tries to encourage her partnership, let alone ask for her back of the narration. Instead, Fields instantly picks her up from her table, slings her in the various regions of the chamber, and persists roughing her up after she thuds to the floor.

On face, that alone might be enough for most people on the Internet to respond in feeling, cruelty, or abhorrence with the undue oblige used by the officer against an unarmed high school student. But where theres a will to be ignorant, theres surely a direction. Cue the impulsive, allowed online spectators shaking in to defend law enforcement.

As the #AssaultAtSpringValleyHigh demonstrates, yet again, the Internet is filled to the brim with people who assert that Black people must have done something to deserve merciless medication from detectives. Since Monday, the hashtag associated with the violent incident has elicitedmore than 150,000 tweets, according to Topsy, but the online sentiment still exposes a broader indifference or unwillingness to condemn anti-Black police brutality.

Its time to stop represent the officers who behave with the immunity theyre rendered, both by the long arm of the law, and by usespecially as it were related to Black women and girls.

A video posted by @_the. kiddd on Oct 26, 2015 at 3:04 pm PDT

One prime enabler of Fields acts at Spring Valley High, and a villain du jour in the debates on anti-Black combating racism and violence, is none other than Don Lemon. In his initial on-air reaction, the CNN fixes row of questioning testified so contentious, his call( again) became a top-1 0 veering Twitter topic in the United States, sparking online dialogue about whether or not the young student shouldve been treated in such a manner.

This broadcasted exchange is about more than Don Lemons prolonged stupidity while enveloping racial questions on a major national pulpit .

Id like to know more before passing arbitration, Lemon articulated, a position echoed by many online onlookers in the hours immediately following the liberation of three different inclinations of footage from that Spring Valley classroom. But former federal prosecutor, CNN contributor Sunny Hostinwho happens to be a Black woman, and an expert much more qualified to address the nature of the situationimmediately defied his legal logic.

I dont need to know more, Hostin told, despite Lemons attempts to shush her. The constitution provides that the standard here is whether the policeman has to use this kind of patrol, whether its reasonable and necessary to somehow assure restraint in the school. The bottom line is, Don, this is a young girl in institution. “They dont have” justification for using this kind and it is assault.

The next day, Richmond County Sheriff Leon Lott had similar questions as Hostin, which induced the FBI to open an investigation into the matter on Tuesday.

To be clear, “its about” more than Don Lemonspersistent ignorance while covering racial issues on a major national scaffold. Its about the propensityfrom Black humen in situations of ability, racists with negligent abandon, and staunch polouse guards on the Internetto erase, ignore, or minimise the pain that many Black women and girls face at the mitts of police officers, many of whom are white.

The online defense of Fields too spotlights a pernicious doubled guideline .

Citing Lemons questioning, online users have concealed behind faux-journalistic ethics and a purported need for verification to enable the people who defend Disciplines the most. In a post for the unaffiliated CNN Commentary blog, which Lemon retweeted on Tuesday, the author lauds Lemon hesitantly, calling him for formerly the voice of reason before decrying the trolls( including Hostin) who blared him on Twitter. Lemons reactionone shared by several on social mediawas praised as reasonable and responsible.

But even further, the online defense of Fields likewise highlights a injurious double criterion.

@Nettaaaaaaaa Don Lemon was right for formerly. Chris Hayes is a moron.

@Mediaite @SunnyHostin @donlemon Don you should not have to defend ur point of vue u were& 100% right to say if u were not in the room

sam (@ sammedisam) October 28, 2015

@Mediaite @normagenie Actually, @donlemon, you’ve done the right thing, even if it was only accidental. I honour you.

Marie von Astra (@ marievonastra) October 27, 2015

@donlemon delivering a almost perfect thinking just now on @CNN impartial ruling certainly best available CNN has to offer right now

Howard (@ hsmythwithaY) October 27, 2015

Anyone with a lash pulsing could bet their times income that the Internet reactionand maybe even Lemonswould be markedly different if a burly, bodybuilding, Black male police officer roughed up a lily-white, blonde, female student in a high school class. The Internet would be in even bigger uproar calling for the officers ouster, and he wouldve likely been fired without question, even before a formal investigation took shape, as Fields has been afforded.

Yet its officers like Fields who often get the benefit of the doubt from many observers, and even get away with slaughter in special courts. That includes Daniel Holtzclaw in Oklahoma, who are continuing faces indicts for supposedly abusing his supremacy to serially crimes multiple Black maidens. It also includes Eric Casebolt in McKinney, Texas, who resigned after slamming and pinning a teenage Black girl wearing a swimsuit, while utilizing his handgun to scare away concerned bystanders over an suspect consortium defendant quarrel. And lest we not forget Brian Encinia, in Waller County, Texas, who viciously took down an unarmed Sandra Bland over an alleged traffic misdemeanour, dragging her out of her gondola and resulting her to the holding station where molted soon, mysteriously die.

And with the ethnic capacity reversalhad the man been Black and the student been whiteat most any other high school in America, the classroom teacher may have even is seeking to deescalate developments in the situation. The young lady bystanding peers may have defied his authority even more than they did at Spring Valley, where a number of concerned students defiantly recorded the incident on their cell phone.

Notably, one of those students1 8-year-old Niya Kenny, a young Black womanwas also arrested for intervene in defense of her classmate.

I was bellowing, What the f, what the f is really happening? I was praying out loud for the girl, she told South Carolinas WLTX, adding that she also preserved the traumatic happen on her cameraphone. I only couldnt believe this was happening, I was just exclaiming, and he articulated, Since “youve had” so much better to say, you are coming too. I simply applied my hands behind my back.

But as Kenny also spotlights, according to reports, Fields has a sick honour for administering female students. Ive listened in the past slammed pregnant women, teenage girlfriends, hes known for throwing, Kenny told MSNBCs Chris Hayes on Tuesday evening , noting that she told fellow classmates to strap in for the purposes of an unsettling occurrence. And granted his violent honour for undue army, Kenny said she also spurred her peers to take out their cell phone to movie an incident that she knew wouldnt dissolve well.

If a surrendering, white supremacist murder suspect can getcoddled into police custody, then young, unarmed Black students should expect more from police officer .

Kennys dreads arent unfounded, after all, contributed Fieldss history of misconduct and ethnic bias. In addition, as the Roots Kristen West-Savali highlights, Black girls in the United States are six times more likely to be suspended or expelled than their lily-white counterparts, per a 2015 reportfrom the African American Policy Forum. As AAPF co-founder and statute professor Kimberle Crenshaw memo in the report, Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced and Underprotected, very concerned about the dangers that Black girls and other girls of hue encounter rarely receive the full courtesy of researchers, counselors, policy makers, and funders.

Indeed, the why does it have to be about hasten protection simply doesnt work in the cases in which ethnic and gender biases, combined, demonstrably play a role in how Black girls are treated in institution fixes.

What will it take for the public to condemn police inhumanity outright, when its a clear and present danger to people of color in America, including and especially Black women and girls? If the Internet has long waited for a intellect, the #AssaultAtSpringValleyHigh is most certainly a prime one. But, even so, the reasons are irrelevant here, because no man in similar circumstances deserves being brutalized by the police officers who swore protecting children.

If a surrender, white supremacist carnage believe( speak: the Charleston crap-shooter) can getcoddled into police detention and furnished with a bulletproof vestafter murdering several Black church congregants exactly a two-hour drive away from Spring Valley High Schoolthen young, unarmed Black students should expect police officer and government agencies to fully involve their lives with respect and dignity.

Because their Black lives question, even when the Internet bickers otherwise.

Why the Internet cannot represent the #AssaultAtSpringValleyHigh

Warning : Such articles contains video that are likely to potentially triggering .

He developed. He received. He brutalized.

In a shaking viral video, Columbia, South Carolina deputy Ben Fields( a grey male police officer the size of an offensive lineman, better known as Officer Slam to students) squints toward an gullible young Black female student at Spring Valley High School. Harmonizing to unconfirmed reports, as the Root notes, she refused to leave the classroom per her teachers requisition, for supposedly not following a few simple guilds: namely, to stop chewing gumor to put away her phone. But that’s irrelevant.

As the footage depicts, the unidentified student is apparently without a artillery. She constitutes no clear and present peril. Shes not even suspected of having committed a violent crimes. Yet Fields, acting as the schools safety officer, enters the classroom to occur on the teaches behalf. Hes barely tries to encourage her partnership, let alone ask for her back of the narration. Instead, Fields instantly picks her up from her table, slings her in the various regions of the chamber, and persists roughing her up after she thuds to the floor.

On face, that alone might be enough for most people on the Internet to respond in feeling, cruelty, or abhorrence with the undue oblige used by the officer against an unarmed high school student. But where theres a will to be ignorant, theres surely a direction. Cue the impulsive, allowed online spectators shaking in to defend law enforcement.

As the #AssaultAtSpringValleyHigh demonstrates, yet again, the Internet is filled to the brim with people who assert that Black people must have done something to deserve merciless medication from detectives. Since Monday, the hashtag associated with the violent incident has elicitedmore than 150,000 tweets, according to Topsy, but the online sentiment still exposes a broader indifference or unwillingness to condemn anti-Black police brutality.

Its time to stop represent the officers who behave with the immunity theyre rendered, both by the long arm of the law, and by usespecially as it were related to Black women and girls.

One prime enabler of Fields acts at Spring Valley High, and a villain du jour in the debates on anti-Black combating racism and violence, is none other than Don Lemon. In his initial on-air reaction, the CNN fixes row of questioning testified so contentious, his call( again) became a top-1 0 veering Twitter topic in the United States, sparking online dialogue about whether or not the young student shouldve been treated in such a manner.

This broadcasted exchange is about more than Don Lemons prolonged stupidity while enveloping racial questions on a major national pulpit .

Id like to know more before passing arbitration, Lemon articulated, a position echoed by many online onlookers in the hours immediately following the liberation of three different inclinations of footage from that Spring Valley classroom. But former federal prosecutor, CNN contributor Sunny Hostinwho happens to be a Black woman, and an expert much more qualified to address the nature of the situationimmediately defied his legal logic.

I dont need to know more, Hostin told, despite Lemons attempts to shush her. The constitution provides that the standard here is whether the policeman has to use this kind of patrol, whether its reasonable and necessary to somehow assure restraint in the school. The bottom line is, Don, this is a young girl in institution. “They dont have” justification for using this kind and it is assault.

The next day, Richmond County Sheriff Leon Lott had similar questions as Hostin, which induced the FBI to open an investigation into the matter on Tuesday.

To be clear, “its about” more than Don Lemonspersistent ignorance while covering racial issues on a major national scaffold. Its about the propensityfrom Black humen in situations of ability, racists with negligent abandon, and staunch polouse guards on the Internetto erase, ignore, or minimise the pain that many Black women and girls face at the mitts of police officers, many of whom are white.

The online defense of Fields too spotlights a pernicious doubled guideline .

Citing Lemons questioning, online users have concealed behind faux-journalistic ethics and a purported need for verification to enable the people who defend Disciplines the most. In a post for the unaffiliated CNN Commentary blog, which Lemon retweeted on Tuesday, the author lauds Lemon hesitantly, calling him for formerly the voice of reason before decrying the trolls( including Hostin) who blared him on Twitter. Lemons reactionone shared by several on social mediawas praised as reasonable and responsible.

But even further, the online defense of Fields likewise highlights a injurious double criterion.

@Nettaaaaaaaa Don Lemon was right for formerly. Chris Hayes is a moron.

Anyone with a lash pulsing could bet their times income that the Internet reactionand maybe even Lemonswould be markedly different if a burly, bodybuilding, Black male police officer roughed up a lily-white, blonde, female student in a high school class. The Internet would be in even bigger uproar calling for the officers ouster, and he wouldve likely been fired without question, even before a formal investigation took shape, as Fields has been afforded.

Yet its officers like Fields who often get the benefit of the doubt from many observers, and even get away with slaughter in special courts. That includes Daniel Holtzclaw in Oklahoma, who are continuing faces indicts for supposedly abusing his supremacy to serially crimes multiple Black maidens. It also includes Eric Casebolt in McKinney, Texas, who resigned after slamming and pinning a teenage Black girl wearing a swimsuit, while utilizing his handgun to scare away concerned bystanders over an suspect consortium defendant quarrel. And lest we not forget Brian Encinia, in Waller County, Texas, who viciously took down an unarmed Sandra Bland over an alleged traffic misdemeanour, dragging her out of her gondola and resulting her to the holding station where molted soon, mysteriously die.

And with the ethnic capacity reversalhad the man been Black and the student been whiteat most any other high school in America, the classroom teacher may have even is seeking to deescalate developments in the situation. The young lady bystanding peers may have defied his authority even more than they did at Spring Valley, where a number of concerned students defiantly recorded the incident on their cell phone.

Notably, one of those students1 8-year-old Niya Kenny, a young Black womanwas also arrested for intervene in defense of her classmate.

I was bellowing, What the f, what the f is really happening? I was praying out loud for the girl, she told South Carolinas WLTX, adding that she also preserved the traumatic happen on her cameraphone. I only couldnt believe this was happening, I was just exclaiming, and he articulated, Since “youve had” so much better to say, you are coming too. I simply applied my hands behind my back.

But as Kenny also spotlights, according to reports, Fields has a sick honour for administering female students. Ive listened in the past slammed pregnant women, teenage girlfriends, hes known for throwing, Kenny told MSNBCs Chris Hayes on Tuesday evening , noting that she told fellow classmates to strap in for the purposes of an unsettling occurrence. And granted his violent honour for undue army, Kenny said she also spurred her peers to take out their cell phone to movie an incident that she knew wouldnt dissolve well.

If a surrendering, white supremacist murder suspect can getcoddled into police custody, then young, unarmed Black students should expect more from police officer .

Kennys dreads arent unfounded, after all, contributed Fieldss history of misconduct and ethnic bias. In addition, as the Roots Kristen West-Savali highlights, Black girls in the United States are six times more likely to be suspended or expelled than their lily-white counterparts, per a 2015 reportfrom the African American Policy Forum. As AAPF co-founder and statute professor Kimberle Crenshaw memo in the report, Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced and Underprotected, very concerned about the dangers that Black girls and other girls of hue encounter rarely receive the full courtesy of researchers, counselors, policy makers, and funders.

Indeed, the why does it have to be about hasten protection simply doesnt work in the cases in which ethnic and gender biases, combined, demonstrably play a role in how Black girls are treated in institution fixes. If the challenges of daughters of coloring are to be addressed, then research and policy frameworks must move beyond the notion that all of the young people of coloring who are in crisis are boys, the reports executive summary governments, and that the concerns of white girlfriends are indistinguishable from those of girls of dye.
