Rodney Ellis: Spend $4.5M to Stop Crises Before They Become Crimes and Jail Cells

Can prevention make communities safer while freeing police for serious crime? Harris County’s HART and RISE results make a powerful case for changing public safety.

Mandatory Background Checks: Just as tenant verification and domestic help background checks are standard, daily early-morning vendors require formal scrutiny and registration.

Proactive Prevention: While vendor vetting adds to law enforcement workload, establishing official accountability is essential to prevent potential criminal mishaps before they occur.

This is precisely why blanket amnesties or premature remissions granted on political occasions are so flawed. Without verified conduct change certified by prison staff, behavioral specialists, and psychology experts, releasing habitual offenders simply returns the same risks back to the streets.

⚖️ A pat on the gate doesn't lock it. True security requires compliance, not performative gestures.

#NeighborhoodSecurity #CivicSense #ChennaiPolice #CommunitySafety #PropertySecurity

⚖️ A gate left wide open for prolonged periods isn't just a minor oversight—it's an open invitation.

⚖️ Convenience is no excuse for arrogance, and arrogance shouldn't endanger neighborhood safety. Unsecured gates open the door for crime.

⚖️ Unsecured gates, ignored rules, and traffic violations turn daily convenience into a neighborhood security hazard. Convenience cannot come at the cost of resident safety.

The #MuslimWorld declares #Fatwa and #Jihad against the #StateOfIsrael.
#GifsArtidote: watch children, adults and governments voice their protest about the #Palestinian occupation and #genocide by #Israel. All of them call for a global boycott of #US companies and for all humans to stand up and fight against #authoritarianism and my message is:

It only takes 3% of citizens in any country to rise up and topple an authoritarian regime.

#capitalism causes #NarcissisticBehaviour and it's now a global pandemic driven by #FascistLeaders not only like those in #US #israel #india #russia #hungary #elsalvador etc. but also in multi-national corporations and institions. the whole human organisational system is now infected from top to bottom.

The statistics for extreme cases like elon and Don are are only around 3% of de population, but as #psychology has been severely underfunded academically, bc it's undermining authority by the state, I wonder how high that percentage is now. and narcissists are pro's in manipulation, gaslighting and coercive control. Their motto: deny, divert and deceive.

Knowledge about the psychological processes of narcissists will prove one of the most powerful weapons citizens will have, to defend yourself individually, and collectively.

my practical suggestion: #unite #educate #organise #resist. learn about #anarchism and the #psychology of #narcissism and how to counter it, #DirectAction, #CommunitySafety and #DefenceTechniques. #KnowledgeIsPower #press #BreakingNews #news

#Saanich municipal government, under #bootlicker, #colonialism heavy guy, Mayor Dean Murdock, gave millions to increase #SaanichPolice budgets - that was mostly spent on buying #militarized SUVs & didn't help to increase but decreased #CommunitySafety. While he is trying to tell us that #PropertyTax increases will be raised to near 10% - fucking #corruption BS. He is #SaanichPoliceBoard chair. No #mayors should be on ANY #PoliceBoard chairs because it is a HUGE #ConflictOfPublicInterest

#SaanichCouncil is also full of #eugenics #antimaskers. Don't believe my words alone. Watch their recent municipal council meetings. Full of eugenics enablers & #antimaskers. Shoddy council, full of lying, plague spreading #hypocrites.

I don't mince any words to comfort the already comfy colonial enablers.
