Readings for April 4, 2023

• 🚔🐷 Salt Lake City officers held man accused of jaywalking at gunpoint before tackling, shocking him, bodycam shows 🔗 - And in case you were wondering, yes, of course he was a Black man. And also, yes, of course, paid administrative leave. 🙄 And also, wtf Salt Lake Tribune, spending multiple paragraphs listing out the victim’s criminal history (which had precisely fuckall to do with the excessive force used by these cops) while also having zero indication of looking into said cops’ history of complaints. 🤷🏽‍♂️
• Stellantis CEO says there may not be enough raw materials to electrify globe 🔗 - Well then maybe we shouldn’t be trying to ’replace the existing fleet of fossil fuel-powered vehicles with all-electric vehicles’? Perhaps it’s long past time to look at alternatives to the failing system we have now?
