Well I guess that’s much better than killing innocent Black people, but why on earth are they not doing their job?!
Biittch are you joking? We aint paying yall to catch em all
They’re acting human for a change, let them be.
This is actually a good thing.
1) The police are aware of this game and because they are playing they know where people may tend to congregate. Means they will be more understanding if a bunch of random people are hanging out near a place that virtually has no one there.
2) Because the news has been blasting that people are getting mugged and attacked at PokeStops, it brings up a safety issue. Well if cops decided to play Pokemon GO and hang out near some of these Stops, it will increase safety because there’s less likely hood of a mugging to occur when there are one to a few cops around.
3) This unintentionally puts cops out in multiple locations similar to how patrols work. Thus this increases public safety and gives a higher sense of security if you aren’t adverse to law enforcement.
4) It makes them happy. Gives a common ground for the populous and youth to converse to the police with rather than them walking up and asking them if they are doing something bad/staying out of trouble. Happy + Happy = A Good Thing.

Other issues on pause, we need to demilitarize our police. And that starts by deconstructing the hegemony that divides “police” and “citizens”.
This helps. Help is good.
Yeah when I saw this I immediately thought it was a good thing! Y’all need to chill.
Yea, when I was at 14th street last week i saw a lotta police in the area and one asked me if i was playin it
Of course i wasAdditionally, having shared ground psychologically *FORCES* you to waver in your “us vs them” mentality. This is how people negotiate in hostage situations, with people standing on bridges about to commit suicide, etc etc. Find something, SOMETHING, ANYTHING, to relate to them about, because BANG!!!!!! Your little human brain INSTANTLY starts second-guessing whether this person you thought was an enemy really is an enemy. And even a moment of mental hesitation, of someone’s base animal hindbrain pausing to wonder, “friend?? packmate???” might provide enough time for a life to be saved.
This is a good thing. This is a very good thing. Change the culture, build community.

when science tells u to distrust men
When science also tells you that a strategy of mutual accommodation is as successful as a strategy of exploitation.
Worthy of note is the fact that women do as well as or better than men in terms of total points earned
(Emphasis mine.) When science tells you that a strategy of mutual accommodation is more successful than one of exploitation. And this is research that is likely more than a decade old telling us this, and yet.

On a happy note, seeing the horde of tiny, screaming t-rex in my activity feed makes me smile. I want to animate more of them now.
(Thanks for the reblog @copperbadge <3)
Now I’m picturing a bunch of tiny cube-headed T-Rexes running around in your home like
Me: That would be so cute! Wait.. I could.. damn you @copperbadge

It’s so wild when you see a photo of a person from history who looks so much like a Hollywood archetype of whatever they did that you’re like “this must be made up.” “This must be an actor.” NO! This is actually what World War II Flying Ace Urban L. “Ben” Drew actually literally looked like in life. Went around looking like this, shooting down jet-powered Luftwaffe aircraft from his lil Snoopy-looking propellor-nosed Mustang. Hopped triumphantly down from the plane wing, pulled off his flying cap, ran a hand boyishly through his sweat-darkened hair, face lookin like that the whole time. Can you imagine???
Pilot Officer John Henry Smythe, an RAF navigator, actually looked like this EVERY DAY. Undertook 27 bombing missions looking like this. Parachuted out of his shot-down plane in Germany, looked like this when he landed, except all disheveled and defiant and wearing a shearling-lined leather jacket. WHAT A WORLD!!!!
Evelyn Ablon, a volunteer with the Women’s Army Corps, kept Air Force flights running smoothly while looking like an old-Hollywood Chelsea Peretti and maintaining an on point manicure. (National Museum of American Jewish Military History)
