Minnesota officer who killed Daunte Wright resigns along with police chief

 Some time ago I’ve read an article about a police officer that „accidentaly” killed Black man. Kim Potter, the white Minnesota police officer who fatally shot the Black resident, Daunte Wright, during a traffic stop, and her chief of police, Tim Gannon, resigned on Tuesday. It happened after 2 nights of protests in the Minneapolis. A woman admitted that she wanted to use a stun gun, but instead of that she used normal gun.

Although in this case the use of a gun and the death of the man were an unfortunate mistake, this is not the first time that the police have abused their power over black people. The Black Lives Matter movement has made people who have experienced injustice by the police take to the streets and say out loud that they have had enough of it. I completely support current protests, because we cannot ignore such situations and justify them in any way.

    If you compare the stun gun with the real one, you start doubting the officer's explanation. They look very different and feel completely different in your hand - the shape, the weight, etc. Making a mistake like that seems very unlikely.

Underwater pyramid in the Azores

Obraz
  At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, a large pyramid-shape was found. The top of the pyramid is 40 meters deep and 60 meters high and covers an area of ​​8,000 m2. The underwater pyramid was discovered by a local angler in September this year during one of his trips. This angler claims that the pyramid must have been built with human hands and it may be the mythical Atlantis. However, not everyone is convinced that the find from the Azores is a pyramid. Skeptics that there is a chance that this is just an underwater volcanic hill, not a residual Atlantean civilization. (it’s because Azores are archipelago of nine volcanic islands and that’s why people are not convinced about the theory of underwater city)    https://curiosmos.com/is-there-a-20000-year-old-underwater-pyramid-in-the-atlantic-ocean/

Observation 6

 I’ve read an article about domestic violence. The text talked about the maltreatment of man against women and the passivity of the police. It sounds pretty horryfing. Maybe the number of women who were murdered because of their partners is not high, but why is it not dropping? Why the police is doing literally nothing event they have evidence of violence? Also a creepy fact is that the punishments for doing such a thing are really mild and most of the perpetrators do not even receive them. The article mentions a woman who was killed by her husband while sleeping. Before that situation the neighbors dialled for help but the police did nothing and it was the main reason why that woman died. Because of ignorance and passivity. What else we can do when even someone like police officers do not care about our safety? Maybe not to have any relationships or carry a knife whenever we are surrounded by other people? It sounds ridiculous but I have no better idea how to be safe on our own

Soap and viruses- Is social distancing that we all have to practise now is difficult or easy for you?

For me social distancing is a little bit difficult, because I don't have any kind of physical contact with somebody in my age. Of course staying at home for over a dozen days was really great, but when the prohibitions appeared that we can't go out and meet friends, it became harder. Videochats and online lessons it's not the same as face to face meeting. Although we recently had an Easter, and we couldn't go to our families, because of this virus. That's why for me and for most people staying at home is very hard.
