„Schutzbewaffnung“?

Bewaffnung?

Weint da eine monströs ausgestattete Polizeiarmee wegen einer FOLIE?!?

Die Polizei gehört entmilitarisiert.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll.

Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens.

All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

Existing city curfew laws are enforced largely in Black and Latino communities, data shows.

While some alderpeople push for tougher curfew laws, many parents and teens say the current approach is unfair and ineffective. buff.ly/FvNx1zW

an article called "Police spending has 'no consistent correlation' with lower crime rates, new Canadian study says". under the headline the subhead reads: “I think a lot of people simply assume that more money for the police will mean safer communities,” said co-author Akwasi Owusu-Bempah. “We’re demonstrating that that’s not the case.”. under the subhead is a photo of a street in toronto with a police cruiser blocking traffic and yellow caution tape stretched across the street

No consent decree anywhere has ever made policing less racist/violent.
Policing cannot be reformed to be anything other than what it is: a state tool to maintain the violent & cruel order of whiteness/capitalism.

Here's the police lying about what they did to Hinto's 18-year-old son, Ryan. I watched the bodycam footage. It shows the cop shooting a scared kid in the back several times as he runs away.

Bad enough to lose your son, but to have the cops lie about it on TV...I can see how a parent would snap.
