This decision is one of the most dangerous, authoritarian decisions in modern U.S. legal history.

The NYPD busted into #KawaskiTrawick's apt while he was making dinner, shot him, let him bleed out, and—when asked if anyone was hurt—said "Nobody, just a perp," then buried the bodycam footage. Then they announced the cops would face no discipline, w/o even notifying his family.

This will get no attention from the free speech crowd, because free speech is implicated when a conservative college student feels unloved in her class, but not when the right to protest is effectively crushed. x.com/voxdotcom/stat…

Half a million people are currently held in jail pretrial (mostly because they cannot afford cash bail) despite a criminal legal system purportedly founded on the presumption of innocence.

Cops kill fellow cop and then pin it on his girlfriend. So many reasons to NEVER date or marry a cop. cnn.com/2024/04/16/us/…
Albuquerque Police Chief Hailed As A Hero For Crashing Into A Car While Fleeing The Scene Of A Shooting. What a shit show Albuquerque PD is. If they are not killing people they're raping people. If not raping assaulting. And always cowards. abovethelaw.com/2024/04/police…
"Is it cruel and unusual to subject an incarcerated person to sleep deprivation for years? That's a question it has taken federal courts more than a decade to answer." The criminal punishment system isn't broken. It's working as it was designed to do. reason.com/2024/04/04/fed…
Black Panther Party member "Lil" Bobby Hutton was murdered on this day in 1968 by the Oakland Police. He was the first person to join the party, the 1st treasurer, and the 1st member to be murdered by the racist police. Rest in Power.
Police officers in Mississippi mowed down a 17-year-old with their cruiser while he was running on foot. Kadarius Smith posed no threats to any officer. His body had tire marks all over his back. This happened weeks ago and there still hasn't been any accountability.

A really important thing to understand that doesn’t get discussed in the corporate media is that one of the primary functions of armed police in the U.S. is forcibly evicting and threatening to evict people. There is no way to separate housing policy from policing policy.
