Abolish the Police

it does an excellent job of mixing polemic with historical fact

my kind of material lol

thx table

the other new developments (i posted on police brutality thread) were the buffalo cops not being indicted for shoving the guy to the ground, and rochester police spraying a handcuffed child with OC spray in a premeditated fashion.

i mean i posted the buffalo one on the other thread, not that it matters

hi harbl, thanks for the info

also philadelphia police demand "accountability pay" in exchange for measures intended to make them follow rules. truly the specialest profession. https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia-police-contract-discipline-reform-accountability-20210209.html

ok we've tried reform

the Philly PD is the most obviously racist and corrupt police force of almost any i've ever encountered.

This has some great dataviz work:

Abolish “defund the police”.

— San (@sansdn) April 2, 2021

this ebook is free https://www.versobooks.com/books/2817-the-end-of-policing

haven't finished it but it seems pretty solid and accessible (if US-centric) and probably as inoffensive to the unconvinced as a book with this title/premise could be (downplaying of UK police awfulness rankles, but at least it acknowledges the british colonial origins of modern policing). as usual i find the diagnosis more convincing than many of the suggested alternatives but that's just me

if we abolish the police wont you have to leave?

is the zing that I'm a cop or that I'm a broken record? just so I know how offended to be

but of course I would take that deal

doing the bit where youre an undercover cop, gotta keep things spicy

I'm generally against kinkshaming but cop fantasies can gtf

sry but i will never stop being horny 4 justice

anyway 1312 including known undercover cop user "left"

Fellow children, pls behave

yknow who ELSE heavily regulates behavior hmmmmm

this is all a bit rich coming from M Bison

please, M Bison is my fathers name

tbf it has been very obvious that user left is a cop all along

if you ask a cop if they're a cop, they have to tell you the truth

but an overt cop might lead with their badge. maybe even a bulletproof badge

if you ask a cop for their hat so that you can take a shit in it in the street they have to give it to you

wait til Judge Dredd finds his helmet

not really aware of the intricate unspoken history of trolling here but the book is a very good read, I'd only read excepts previously

the book is good, i downloaded it a while back

There's dashcam video on reddit and this woman was very clearly looking for a safe place to pull over (had slowed down, had her hazards on) when this impatient shitheel decided to PIT maneuver a pregnant woman's car.

there was one time I was getting pulled over where I abruptly reduced speed due to being startled and the cop gave me shit for 'pulling over and braking too abruptly'.

this lady tries to pull over safely and gets pitted by an aggro bro cop.

it's almost like these thugs just want obedience and worship.

Yeah, I just assume he didn't consider that "immediate compliance" and decided that risking not only her life, but anyone else on that highway's life, was the proper response.

It just makes me so angry because a) this is often what women are told to do, pull over somewhere safe and well lit (preferably in sight of witnesses or cameras) and b) it was also to his benefit because that narrow ass shoulder wasn't going to be safe a stop at all. Just, so infuriating.

we'd all be better off if a semi had domed him shortly after. fuck cops

“You may wonder why you were enrolled in this program,” the letter continues. “You were selected as a result of an evaluation of your recent criminal behavior using an unbiased, evidence-based risk assessment designed to identify prolific offenders in our community. As a result of this designation, we will go to great efforts to encourage change in your life through enhanced support and increased accountability.”

This kind of language is just chilling.

wow. that is FUCKED UP

Terrifying.

in the same article, they link to this earlier investigation (https://projects.tampabay.com/projects/2020/investigations/police-pasco-sheriff-targeted/school-data/)

The Pasco Sheriff’s Office keeps a secret list of kids it thinks could “fall into a life of crime” based on factors like whether they’ve been abused or gotten a D or an F in school, according to the agency's internal intelligence manual.

The Sheriff’s Office assembles the list by combining the rosters for most middle and high schools in the county with records so sensitive, they’re protected by state and federal law.

School district data shows which children are struggling academically, miss too many classes or are sent to the office for discipline. Records from the state Department of Children and Families flag kids who have witnessed household violence or experienced it themselves.

According to the manual, any one of those factors makes a child more likely to become a criminal.

Four hundred and twenty kids are on the list, the Sheriff’s Office said.

i'm sure being on the Evil Kid List + One (1) criminal offense = on the Shit List forever in Pasco county. what a fucking shitty sheriff's dept, evil

look,,, they just need more money and better training and a few billions in tactical military equipment.

.. so they can still lie, manipulate data and falsify evidence to continue locking up black and brown people.

Norman Truman Mpls punk legend died in a coma with brain swelling caused by being shot by police with a "non-lethal"rubber bullet

ugh. that is why they call them "less lethal" because they know very well they are lethal.

For years, when my friends and I would chant or even talk about "cops and Klan go hand in hand," less left types would sneer and call us wild-eyed and insane. But WE WERE RIGHT. ALL THESE MOTHERFUCKERS ARE FASCISTS!
