LjLottavio, not really, it could have been a bit of a joke. i'm mainly just surprised at something like that happening.18:00
ottavioI had to explain to the police that I did nothing to deserve it. It was very humiliating.18:02
danielp3344:/18:02
LjLthat police shouldn't even need you to not have "deserved" it. assault is assault, even if you had given him the finger or something18:04
LjLs/that//18:04
danielp3344LjL: well, he could have punched the guy first18:05
ottavioThey said I shouldn't have rung 999 but 101. 18:07
ottavioIf I had punched the guy first, who would have caught me?18:07
LinJisCatottoavio, from what I read and heard so far, most of transmission takes place via droplet infection. So it is more likely that you got infected from him spitting at you or something similar than from a punch.18:07
LinJisCatjust take good care. All the best.18:08
MBip[m]<ottavio "A random guy in the street assau"> Sounds like the kind of thing that often happens to black people in Moscow.  I helped in a centre where they could get medical help - the stories were terrible, and so often were the wounds.  A guy knocked down the iced staircase into the underground - head first, or people randomly breaking into a house to throw a black guy they saw out of the third-floor window..18:43

LjLaradesh, i'd say there's a pretty good reason for the protests. that they bring about new cases and that even protests should be done carefully is another matter, but i've heard of many reports of seeing protesters all wearing a mask, BUT the police around them, NOT. also someone is seen getting his mask ripped off by a cop (and then pepper-sprayed)19:56
aradeshour police haven't been wearing masks it seems19:58
aradeshone commentator suggested it's for communication 19:58
aradeshso they can see each others mouths when it's noisy19:59
aradeshgot protests going on in london at the moment. some news about it atm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Auq9mYxFEE20:01
aradeshnot many people wearing masks at all tbh...20:02

LjLaradesh, when you're reying to control large crowds of protestors perhaps you should think back and wonder whether murdering people on camera is a good idea21:40
LjLbest way to stop such a protest, i'm sure, would have been to avoid that event21:40
LjLthen it wouldn't even have started21:40
LjLanyway everybody has a plausible excuse for not wearing a mask, especially if you ask italians here21:41
LjLi don't think the police have a more plausible excuse than others21:41
LjLalso i've never heard of COVID causing declining eyesight (but there's probably tons of scary things that have been studied or suggested that i've failed to learn of)21:42
LjLbut maybe you're just geting old :P21:42
aradeshLjL: but it didn't happen in london21:47
aradeshour police don't kill people very often21:47
LjLaradesh, well, some people would blame that on a globalized world. i *thank* the globalized world for it, as long as the protests are peaceful (and when they aren't, always have a close look in case the ones instigating violence are wearing strange earbuds...)21:56
LjLprotests are part of a democratic system21:57
LjLnot unique to it, but unlike in other systems, they are, or ought to be, valued, in principle, not automatically considered nad21:57
LjLbad also21:58
aradeshi dunno... what do you do if you run a country and groups of protestors are constantly trying to prevent you implementing policies that will improve the country?22:07
aradeshjust seems highly frustrating22:07
aradeshand i mean riots, not peaceful marches, etc22:08
