guys someone talk to me about poe dameron - best pilot in the resistance, top dog, guns-blazing male protagonist - and how he was so kind. how he took an ex storm trooper at face value and with unconditional, immediate trust and even a fierce kind of joy- yeah, you go buddy! fight the darkness. i’m here to help you. i’m here to work with you. i’m not here to take control- we won’t get out of this unless we work together. 

how he didn’t treat him with suspicion or macho posturing despite the fact that he’s a top tier pilot and has probably been at war with people like FN 2187 for years. how the first thing he does once they’re out of immediate danger is give him a name, treating him like a person worthy of respect and not like another faceless white mask. how he is patient with a panicking Finn even under the incredible stress of a life or death situation, ensuring he knows what to do and being endlessly positive and encouraging instead of berating him when he falls short.

how he gets out of his jet at the end of the big firefight and sees BB8 and his whole face just lights up. how he unselfconsciously runs to BB8 like a kid, automatically lowering himself to BB8′s level. 

how he doesn’t need to be the spotlight, the center of attention. when they gather around the hologram to strategize, star pilot and battle veteran poe dameron shuts up and listens. 

how he never has a Trek-reboot Jim Kirk-style playboy sequence, no endless string of girls. not even a hint, and you know they could have stuck it in there if they wanted to. how we never see him treat another being, human or otherwise, with anything less than respect, optimism and good nature. i’m just. i mean. do you realize how significant this is?

you guys, if poe dameron is the future of male protagonists in big action movies, sign me the fuck up. 

I WAS ALREADY IN LOVE WITH HIM I DIDN’T NEED THIS POST TO REMIND ME

Newly released video shows Michigan Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Jonathan Frost pulling over 17-year-old Deven Guilford because the teenager had been flashing him with his lights. Guilford says it was to alert the officer that he had his high beams on. The officer denies he had them on and then asks Guilford multiple times for his license, registration and proof of insurance. 

Guilford refuses to comply and questions why he is being detailed. Eventually, Frost takes out his stun gun and orders Guilford out of the vehicle and onto the ground. Moments later the camera gets choppy. A physical scuffle ensues. Gunshots ring out. 

Guilford’s family believes he should not have been killed, but thus far Frost’s actions have been justified by officials.
