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 7

Some time ago I’ve read an article in which the author considered whether online or stationary education is better. „E-learning” had and in some places still have its pros and cons. To answer which side wins we probably would hace to ask many people, because everyone has their own opinion. Personally I agree with the author of this text. Spending many hours in front of the computer, not seeing friends for quite a long time and being home for many weeks was definetely very challenging for everyone. Everybody could feel negative effects of that education method despite the fact that, as it was said, we spend great part of our lives in the internet. I’m sure it was pretty interesting experience but if we ever go back to those days in our memories we will remember that it required from us a lot of patience and positive thinking. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/nov/08/the-big-idea-should-we-leave-the-classroom-behind

Are polish people polite and kind?

In my opinion polish people are polite and kind. I think that everybody heard about ,,polish hospitality". From the very beginning of our country we can see a lot of exaples of kidness. Why didn't we heard about for example german hospitality? Because it's Poland and polish people known of heartendness from hundreds of years. Good example of these features is Otto III's visit to Poland in 1000. Our king - Bolesław Chrobry- hosted him and gave a lot of gifts. Additonally in now a days, a lot of nationalities say that polish people are very polite and Poland is a country where is a good food, beautiful women and great people.
