William Shatner on Wednesday shared his contempt over a recent incident inAlberta, Canada, where police drew their guns on a girl who was dressed as a Stormtrooper from Star Wars, carrying a toy blaster.

The incident made international headlines after video of the situation was posted to social media and went viral, showing guns drawn on the woman before she was taken to the ground by officers and bloodied.

The woman was dressed as the sci-fi character for a business promotion for May 4th, aka Star Wars Day. Shatner, a native Canadian who usually gives Star Wars fans a jokingly hard time on social media since he is a Star Trek icon, blasted the officers for their actions.

Pete Buttigieg slams Florida’s harmful “Don’t Say Gay” bill

“Don’t Say Gay” bill, highlighting the serious harm it could cause to LGBTQ youth.The Republican-backed bill, which is working its way through Florida’s legislature, would ban discussions of LGBTQ issues “in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students.”Florida Republicans claim that the bill is a “parental rights” measure which will alert parents to topics that they might otherwise object to. However, Democrats have criticized the legislation, saying it will be interpreted and enforced by school districts in a way that effectively gags any discussion about LGBTQ-related topics, even in passing.Appearing on CNN Newsroom last week, Buttigieg was asked by host Jim Sciutto whether the “Don’t Say Gay” bill is “dangerous.”“Absolutely,” Buttigieg responded.
