Eh,some people who work security/work in retail like to stand up for common decency in the neighbourhood and have a backbone so they confront the thief.

> Allowing your LP staff to use physical force is not going to solve retail theft.

It's going to massively reduce it.

> uses his name to sell artwork

Sure, because that's the extent of his corruption.

Quite funny you should say that as I had just written this comment on the other related thread:

> I've been leaning more and more away from a global internet and back to regional EU only internet. EU & US & every other region in the world are different.

> As it stands, the global internet is dominated by US cultures & laws.

> I think the internet as it stands inhibits Europeans forging their own path.

So for me personally, my then youthful naivety of supporting connecting the globe and freedom etc. has now shifted over the past 10 years to leaning towards an EU only internet.

> The Internet is being torn apart by governments.

The internet shouldn't be the international waters of the world and it shouldn't be the United States internet.

> This is especially bad for activists, whistleblowers, and the politically persecuted

No, it's not. There's no need for hyperbole.

They can always go through an intermediary.

I've been leaning more and more away from a global internet and back to regional EU only internet.

EU & US & every other region in the world are different.

As it stands, the global internet is dominated by US cultures & laws.

I think the internet as it stands inhibits Europeans forging their own path.

Don't reply to say "ur WRIting tHIs On US site".

Ted Sarandos, Netflix co-CEO said:

> Several of you have also asked where we draw the line on hate. We don’t allow titles on Netflix that are designed to incite hate or violence, and we don’t believe The Closer crosses that line. I recognize, however, that distinguishing between commentary and harm is hard, especially with stand-up comedy which exists to push boundaries.

Hmmm, strange I don't find that same level of boundary pushing content and critical commentary of black American culture on Netflix.

Oh right, his wife, Nicole Avant, is a black American.

Freedom of speech & wide range of opinion unless it's uncomfortable to him or his loved ones.

The more people that aggressively call out con-artists and bullshitters, the better.

He learned a lesson that day and there was subsequently less shittery in the world from then on than there would have been.

Win win for decent humans.

Whilst the main story of the focus is the case involving black kids, the story also details the case of a white kid wronged by this person.

If stats were available to show black children in general were targeted, the piece would have included them.

Including 'Black children' in the title is unnecessary other than one of the arresting officers in this particular case wondered would this(arresting/cuffing at school over being an observer) happen in a white school.

She's an idiot. She may also be a racist but the article doesn't provide any evidence for that.

I wonder sometimes if people ever read past the headline and first paragraph.
