#communitynotcops — Public Fediverse posts

Last night was bin night on my street, and my bin was knocked over by the garbage truck this morning. I've had a horrible headache today and hadn't been able to pop out, pick it up, and bring it.

This afternoon, a girl who looked maybe 8 or 10, wearing the uniform from the local primary school around the corner and a couple of blocks away, was just walking home from school along my street, and stopped to pick up my bin and put the lid back on. I saw through my front windows.

The kids around here often get a really hard time, with people criticising what they're like when they're outside just existing. We have people in the local Facebook groups posting Ring camera footage of kids walking past their house and complaining that there are kids playing in the local park. They're always talked about with suspicion and distrust.

This girl did something super helpful, not because she was asked or because she was being watched.. but because she saw something that needed to be done, and she stepped up and did it. This is an action grounded in a sense of community spirit, kindness, and care.

Her actions are really appreciated! I feel proud and thankful to live in a world where young people are thoughtful and kind.

[edit: I found them. It's @Ceejayevylyn - commission work with them!]

This is the piece of art I commissioned with my birthday money this year!

I'd had the idea of the message you often get in games, "enemies are vulnerable to their opposite elements", with regards to armed resistance, ICE and molotovs... but I have absolutely ZERO artistic skills.

I posted here about it, and was approached by CJ Evelyn who was interested in the idea as well.

Working with them was an absolute breeze! They were helpful and listened to exactly what I wanted, super communicative and absolutely helped me get the idea I wanted out of my aphantasic brain and into a visual artwork.

I'd love to tag them here, but their account got stolen and I can't find the new one - so, CJ.. if you're following me, please reach out so I can tag your account!

This is the watermarked image (I don't want their art stolen, but definitely feel free to repost with watermarks and credit!)

CJ, thank you again.

Everyone else, definitely recommend commissioning revolutionary art and definitely recommend commissioning from CJ.

Also. FUCK ICE and FUCK COPS.

Oh look, NSW laws being used to silence the protest against Aboriginal deaths in custody.

Shocked.

_____

Protesters in Sydney have vowed to return for 'Invasion Day' rallies on 26 January after being dispersed at a rally against Indigenous deaths in custody on Sunday.

In the lead-up to the event, demonstrators said they were planning to march in defiance of the NSW government's controversial new protest laws.

However, moments before protesters were set to march from Hyde Park, police told event organiser Paul Silva to ask the crowd to "disperse in a peaceful and orderly manner".

Silva then told the crowd of about 200 people — according to the Australian Associated Press — that he thought it would be "the safest option if we disperse".

"I don't want anyone being attacked and, unfortunately, these laws will allow that," Silva said.

Following the Bondi terror attack, NSW passed new legislation giving the state's police commissioner the power to restrict protests for up to three months after a designated terrorist incident.

Police say they're now negotiating with organisers over the rallies planned for 26 January, Australia Day. A spokesperson has said the NSW Police commissioner has yet to make a decision on whether to renew the ban, which is set to lapse on Tuesday 20 January.

..and...

"Institutions respond with resilience workshops, counselling hotlines and “mental health awareness days,” yet continue to operate through coercion, punishment and control. This ignores the fact that enforcing colonial laws, evicting families, surveilling communities,and using force is inherently traumatising, for both workers and the communities they target. Worse, policing culture actively cultivates trauma. In countries like the U.S. and Israel, “warrior-style” police training primes recruits to view the public as enemies, embedding hypervigilance, fear and aggression from the outset. This type of militarised police conditioning does not just result in trauma, it weaponises it, normalising violence as a professional duty. Policing produces trauma by design. If we accept that trauma and criminalisation are deeply correlated, then justice work must not reproduce trauma, either for communities or those employed to support them.Rather than pouring resources into traumatising roles and then offering superficial wellbeing supports, we should transform the work itself. This means reducing reliance on policing and punishment and building trauma-informed,community-led alternatives: crisis response teams, transformative justice processes, cultural healing spaces and culturally grounded services, especially for Indigenous communities surviving colonial violence and for women impacted by gendered trauma. True practitioner wellbeing is inseparable from community wellbeing. Abolition is not about abandoning safety, it is about redefining it through care, accountability and collective liberation."

I'm enjoying the assessment I'm writing today, because I'm actually being able to give my opinion with my whole entire chest, and not couch it in politeness.

"What I dislike about how the criminal justice system addresses trauma is that it largely does not address it at all. Instead, it punishes the symptoms of structural violence while ignoring the causes. Women are imprisoned for survival crimes, like shoplifting, fraud, drug possession, parole breaches, often directly linked to domestic violence, poverty, or coercion. Indigenous women are imprisoned at exponentially higher rates not because they are more "criminal," but because they live under a racist colonial state that constantly intervenes in their lives through child removal, policing, and incarceration. The system compounds trauma: strip searches, isolation from children, and institutional abuse are all forms of state violence.

What I do appreciate are the emerging discussions around trauma-informed practice, but these reforms remain superficial within a system fundamentally designed to punish and control. Real change cannot come from within the logic of carcerality.

To respond differently, we must reject the assumption that cages create safety. If trauma contributes to criminalisation, then healing, not punishment, must be our response. Communities require investment in housing, mental health care, family support, culturally grounded healing programs, and abolitionist alternatives to policing and prisons. For Indigenous people, this must include self-determination and truth-telling about colonisation. Addressing trauma is not merely therapeutic, it is political. A just society does not criminalise pain; it prevents it."

“Abolition, as a tradition, a philosophy, and a theory of change, moves away from a myopic focus on the prison toward a more expansive vision of the social, political, and economic processes that defined the context within which imprisonment came to be viewed as the legitimate hand of justice. As a “practical organizing tool and long-term goal”, abolition is a political vision with the goal of eliminating imprisonment, policing, and surveillance and creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment. As illustrated by the history of the prison and the police, reforms sold as “progressive” all too often function to mask expanding mandates, logics, and budget lines. Abolitionist movements require struggles about strategy and vision: what, for example are the “non-reformist reforms” (to use a phrase coined by Marxist theorist Andre Gorz and applied by Thomas Mathiesen in his Politics of Abolition) that make sustainable and material differences in the lives of people living under the control of oppressive systems?”

—Angela Y. Davis, Gina Dent, Erica R. Meiners & Beth E. Richie

When ‘tougher’ checks hurt the wrong people

The women we work with through the National Network of Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls often face immense barriers to obtaining a WWCC, even when their charges have nothing to do with children. Many who apply have convictions that stem from surviving poverty, violence, homelessness or substance use. These are routinely read by the system not as evidence of structural harm or survival, but as fixed indicators of unsuitability.

Criminalised women — especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women — already face steep hurdles when applying for a clearance after prison. The law treats a decades-old shoplifting charge, a survival response to domestic violence, or even the state-sanctioned removal of one’s own child as permanent red flags. These often result in women being denied a clearance and being issued a prohibition or negative notice.

"[M]ost people don’t know what Pride is about. The anguish, and the hurt, and the reason why Pride started in the first place—it was an anti-cop event. Look, yes—I know there are trans police officers. You have Black people who are police officers, and women police officers. All that’s cute, but guess what: It’s blue first, your other allegiances second. Once you get on that blue, child, it goes straight through to your brain, dyes your brain blue, and you’re no longer whoever the fuck you were before. So no, they don’t need to be there. That’s where their loyalty lies. So stay the fuck away from me."

There's absolutely never any need for the police to restrain someone for shop lifting.

Those cops murdered that boy.

Fuck them. I hope they die lonely and afraid.

The last paragraph of my essay:

Ultimately, while initiatives such as the ASD signal an intent to improve policing practises, we must recognise that no amount of reform will fix the problems of a system built to further colonisation. If we want to engage in working for true justice that prioritises Indigenous autonomy, equality and cultural integrity, we need to look to the complete abolition of policing and prisons, for, as Kendrick Lamar (2024) states "..you not a colleague, you a fucking coloniser"

NSW to review law that presumes children under 14 are incapable of evil

After a 2016 high court ruling, the conviction rates of children aged 10 to 13 have plummeted in NSW, report finds

In 2016, a high court ruling clarified doli incapax, resulting in prosecutors needing to prove the child understood they were seriously wrong when committing a crime. Since then, conviction rates of children aged 10 to 13 have plummeted.

A NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (Bocsar) report found the proportion of 10- to 13-year-olds with a proven outcome – guilty or not guilty – in the NSW children’s court tumbled from 76% in 2015-16 to 16% in 2022-23.

The prosecution withdrew charges in more than half of all cases in 2022-23, with similar patterns in Victoria and South Australia.

I posted in the local Facebook group to warn people that the cops are sitting on a road near here just where the speed limit drops from 100km to 50km (with almost no notice).

In response people are tagging Chifley Police District.

It's fascinating that Australians will have Ned Kelly profile pics and go on and on about being from "good convict stock", and then suck pig dick like a cops balls are filled with oxygen.

Since the LNP first introduced the draconian and outrageously dangerous Adult Crime, Adult Time legislation, Sisters Inside have spoken out against its inherent injustice

‘The Queensland Government cannot continue to ignore the fact that this punitive approach will only cause more harm. Evidence from around the world shows that treating children as adults in the criminal legal system increases recriminalisation and perpetuates cycles of violence and disadvantage. These policies are not about public safety—they are about political expediency, fearmongering, and the continued criminalisation of Aboriginal children,’ Debbie Kilroy

More than 90% of people caught with small amounts of illicit drugs criminalised in NSW despite diversion reforms

A New South Wales government program that gives police discretion to divert people found with small quantities of illicit drugs away from the courts has only been extended to 6.9% of people caught, including just 2.6% of those who are Indigenous.

I just got into an argument with a shopping centre security guard because he was trying to kick a houseless person out of the shopping centre. This person seemed semi-conscious and wasn't responding to his demands to leave, so the security guard kept saying he was going to call the cops.

I asked if he'd thought of calling an ambulance, because it seemed like a medical emergency to me (me, who was a nurse for a long fucking time..), and the security guard just said that it was "obviously drugs".

Turns out when the paramedics got there the guy had a blood sugar of 1.4mmol/L (which is like 25mg/dl for the US folks).

The security guard was all like "well how was I supposed to know??"

I mean, someone who is houseless having a medical crisis from a chronic condition that needs access to specialist management and regular food?? I'm fucking shocked. Who would ever have guessed?! 🙄
