Woman: "Hi 911, I have a guy with a knife in my house right now trying to rape me"...

911: "Ok i can help with that, would you like the number to a place you can go and shoot up some heroin?"

Woman: "Ummm, no, I dont think that will help, I have a guy here trying to rape me with a knife"...

911: "Ohhh, ok, well best I can do is you just sit there and let him rape you, then afterwards I will give you a number to a PP officer where you can get an abortion!"

Woman: "Umm.. cant you send someone over with a gun or something to help protect me"

911: "Sorry we dont do that anymore, we defunded that department. But good news is the rapist will at least get some needed therapy when he is done raping you, so no worries"

This was the seen in Philly today. This happened about 5 hours ago. An exceedingly peaceful protestor trying to be nice to police and military deployed was going around handing out flowers. She was immediately arrested for doing so. No violence of any kind... she offered a flower, the military guy reached out to accept it, BAM, down for arrest.

She is a well known Kindergarten Teacher here and apparently arrested for crossing the barriers even though clearly non violent.

They wonder why people are rioting.. this shit right here.

Hi,

I wanted to apologize to you

A week ago I was a bit harsh for a decision you made some time ago. While I do think my response in that was fair it was unfair of me not to recognise that more recently you have defended our server in some discussions. I appreciate that and wanted to apologize for not highlighting that along side my criticisms of you,

I'm sorry and thank you. That has been bugging me since I said it.

So the morons over on Facebook are posting all these "wow tonight the moon, jupiter and saturnform a triangle".. jesus christ hwos tupid can ya get... they **always** form a triangle, any three points always do ffs!

saturn, jupiter, and the moon form a triangle every single night, without exception... In fact if you pick any three points in the sky at random, no matter what those points are, as long as they dont fall in a perfect line (which is nearly impossible) they will always form a triangle.

Thats like saying "Tonight the moon and jupiter form a line!" lol

I am a fan of dark humor (see what I did there?)

How are police handling their police brutality issues?

If QOTO had an always-on group voice chat anyone could join, would you use it?

There is no greater hell than being in America, particularly a city, and having a disease that requires you to need a controlled substance prescription (like Oxycodon, xanex, or even just sleeping pills like ambien).

When my injury first occured the pain was ungodily. I had a portion of my spine that basically exploded and spewed directly into the spinal column. It put extreme pressure on it and the pain was unimaginable. It was so bad when it first happened I was trapped in my bed for 2 days, couldnt even get up to pee, so pissed the bed trying. Finally had someone toss me a pain killer through my window and i took it which was just enough to get up and crawl to the doctor who is right next door to me thankfully. When I begged and cried asking for a pain killer just to get me to surgery or whatever treatment they wanted to do they thought I was faking and drug seeking so just dropped me as a patient.

I was in delirious inducing agony for months and every doctor i saw thought i was drug seeking and wouldnt even see me, let alone treat me (partly because when im in pain I dont show it). It was hell. Finally i got a special injection directly in my spine of high dose steroids, it made me function for a few weeks and i didnt need pain killers. I quickly took a plane over to the netherlands where the doctors are actually ethical. They treated me right, offered some pain pills, and ultimately got me in surgery quickly.. I only need pain pills for a week after surgery and then never touched them again. I am thankful for them but traumatized by american doctors.

Anyway, what I do need to take daily and for the rest of my life though is Ambien as I have something called Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder. The only way to treat it is ambient, a sleeping medication. With out im not an insomniac or anything, it just means my sleep phase shift by 1 - 2 hours every night, which would make it impossible for me to hold a job.

Anyway its a controlled substance and I go through the exact same problems getting it. Despite being diagnosed with a clear disease that needs it as a treatment they do everything they can to make it hard for me to get my dosage each month. They wont refill it till the day im empty, and even then give me resistance every single month. They make sure I go tot he doctor and need an appointment every month even though all they say is "what do you need?" I say "my medicine" they say "ok" and I leave. Problem is half the time complications mean i might get my medication later or not at all and if i miss it my sleep schedule wont recover for 2 - 4 weeks if i miss a whole day.

I'm really really sick of american doctors.

This, this right here

Good night, sleep well fediverse. May you all dream of magical lands filled with happiness :)

Mr Rogers was a god damn saint and his way or protesting inequality was heart touching to say the least. I think he would be ashamed of where we are at now, on both sides.

Stole this one from @stux , felt it deserved its own toot. LOL We got this moron Donald Trump Going up against Mumbles McBiden, America doesnt stand a chance.

Yes the rioters are wrong, yes they are stupid... But if your a police officer, shut the fuck up, you started this shit and you get no fucking say... When your representing a group that murders daily and continues to do so throughout the protests you dont get a voice, and your not helping if you express anything other than "I'm sorry we are wrong"...

Sit down, shut up, and let us citizens complain about the rioters, not you, you lost your say!

This is the police union president of my city, Philadelphia, by the way.

Mastodon doesnt quite have group functionality yet. But if you want groups we do have something that comes close. Check out @design_RG excellent guide on how to use them here:

For those of you wondering philly is still quite literally burning. Rioters today have set all sorts of cars and buildings on fire today, smoke everywhere, even with the national guard here they are going toe to toe with no sign of letting up.
