#copwatch — Public Fediverse posts

Die #Polizei hat am Mittwoch in #München auf einen 14-jährigen geschossen, der eine Spiekzeugwaffe bei sich trug. Nach Angaben der Eltern warf er diese vor dem #Bauchschuss auf den Boden und rief, dass es nur Spielzeug ist. Geschossen wurde trotzdem. Erst auf bitten der Sanitäter wurden die Handfesseln entfernt. Der Junge überlebte den Einsatz zum Glück.

Mitten in der Hauptsaison demonstrierten Zehntausende Mallorquiner am Sonntag abend in Palma de #Mallorca gegen die Auswirkungen der Urlaubsindustrie. Aufgerufen zum Protest hatte das Bündnis »Weniger #Tourismus, mehr Leben«.

Was in der spanischen wie internationalen Presse kaum erwähnt wurde: Die #Polizei ging mit Schlagstöcken gegen Demonstrierende und in min. einem Fall Journalist*innen vor. Es gab min. acht Verletzte.

Die #Polizei verletzte am Wochenende in #Berlin-Friedrichshain mehrere Personen nach einem Straßenfest in der #Kreuziger Str. Die Betroffenen erheben schwere Vorwürfe. Videos belegen die Unverhältnismäßigkeit des körperlichen Zwangs.

Are cops allowed to wear those Meta glasses? Is that an official procurement move?

I'm pretty sure I'm looking at a SFPD officer wearing a pair of those at the Philz.

Was sind meine Rechte wenn die #Polizei mich kontrolliert? Soll ich reden oder die Aussage verweigern? Darf ich filmen, wenn ich Zeug*in einer groben oder rassistisch anmutenden #Polizeikontrolle werde? (Kurze Antwort: ja!)

Weitere Tips und Informationen zum Thema hat heute das #srf zusammengestellt.

#Seattle folks, I'm trying to convince a comrade to work on a project. Would you be interested in a podcast that does deep dives on the shady side of the Seattle Police Department?

This could be things like deep investigations into closed OPA cases (especially officer involved shootings), the consent decree, lawsuits against the department, the history of the Seattle CHOP and infiltration, reports of harassment of activists, etc, all following roughly the "True Crime" formula and using public records as the source material.

Edit: please boost to improve the sample size.

One #Oakland police officer , a top #cop #union honcho, made over $879,000 in total compensation via prodigious #overtime hrs, submitting time cards that he'd worked 23-hour days.

Corrupt Police Union Prez & Cohort Headed To #Federal #Prison ...

Longtime #Massachusetts State #Police Union leader and his fave registered state lobbyist have both been resentenced in federal #court for a years-long “organized criminal enterprise” to defraud union members and the state.

Both Dana Pullman, then State Police Association of Massachusetts (#SPAM) president, and Anne Lynch, a top cop #union #lobbyist, were convicted in 2022 of a scheme where Pullman would use his role to steer biz to Lynch and receive copious cash kickback$. 

"Dana Pullman and Anne Lynch ran the Massachusetts State Police union like an old-school racket, siphoning money from troopers, deceiving the Commonwealth, hiding income from the IRS and then lying when they got caught. Their conduct was deliberate, sustained and corrosive,” said United States Prosecuting Attorney Leah B. Foley.

#Tennessee man #imprisoned by virulent #GOP sheriff for posting #meme to a members only non-public local #Facebook group is finally released.

Back in September Larry Bushart was detained and given a $2m bail at Perry County jail in Linden, Tennessee. The rural #RWNJ sheriff was offended in wake of Charlie Kirk murder , apparently after seeing a Bushart posted pic of President #Drumpf, saying “We have to get over it", which was a quote about a previous shooting he'd made.

Since then the detained man, who'd become a free speech cause célèbre, was held in custody in rural Tennessee for weeks after small town sheriff Nick Weems declared the post "intentionally sought to create hysteria within the community," which is what Weems said in a statement to The Tennessean newspaper last month.

The detained man was apparently being prosecuted by 32nd Judicial District Attorney Hans Schwendimann, who did not respond for media comment after the release.

We saw (and filmed) US Park Police and ATF jump out (from the same unmarked car, we thought they were MPD jump-out boys but MPD wasn't there at all) on four of my clients in SE #WashingtonDC today "looking for guns"; they had jumped out on one of these guys THREE TIMES today within a six-block radius because I guess the feds have money for mindless cop bullshit on repeat when the government is literally OUT OF MONEY FOR FOOD ASSISTANCE AND ALL OTHER FEDERAL SALARIES

You'll be shocked to learn that *nobody had guns*, and after cuffing and groping everybody the pigs had to let everybody go.

One client told us when the pig harassing him saw us filming he said "oh shit," and immediately the whole dynamic deescalated compared to the previous round this afternoon, when the pigs were screaming at them the whole time. Multiple clients, including both the lovely gentlemen who had been directly harassed and a couple older gentlemen watching nearby, told us they felt safer once they saw us filming and really appreciated us being there for them.

Please if you haven't done #copwatch before, take your responsibility to your community seriously and be ready to step up when you see pig activity going down, most particularly if you are white or white-adjacent because the piggies really do poop their pants a little when they see that your ass knows what's up

Fuck. Maybe instead of #copwatch I should make #ICEwatch

I hope all of those fuckers choke.

Danke für den Hinweis.

Dort lesen wir:
"Beschimpfungen, Übergriffe und Misshandlungen seitens der Polizei gehören für Viele zur Normalität. Zum Teil haben diese Situationen juristische Konsequenzen für die Betroffenen. Sie sehen oft keine Chance, sich juristisch oder über die Öffentlichkeit gegen solche Praxis zur Wehr zu setzen."

Unter anderem wegen des Verdachts der #Körperverletzung im Amt gegen 17 #Polizist‎en in #Frankfurt am Main sind am Morgen mehrere Dienststellen und Wohnungen durchsucht worden.

Den Beamten wird vorgeworfen, Anfang des Jahres sechs Männer während oder nach deren Festnahmen unrechtmäßig verletzt oder diese Taten geduldet und nicht angezeigt zu haben.

Maybe I should do #copwatch accounts here as part of my0.net.

A place to document a lack of accountability. That's separate from my shitposty main account.

Anyone willing to be a moderator here and run a state specific #copwatch account?

The team at DivestSPD has been hard at work for months tracking what if any discipline SPD officers get for their cop riot last spring in Cal Anderson park.

There's tons of footage that have recently been received from PDR requests first batch is 👇🏿

As usual, we're finding more use of force than was even reported and more obviously unnecessary instances of police assaulting and arresting people than previously reported.

#FirstAmendment and #CopWatch advocates have condemned #Oakland #Police efforts to begin hiding their #radio communications with new #Encryption techniques which ends decades of public #transparency.

Well, the public access to cop communications continues, but now only because of #OPD technical trouble “working with a vendor” ...

Dozens of #LEO agencies had timed their scanners to go dark to the public throughout the #EastBay — the move by many scandal plagued regional #California #LawEnforcement agencies has been widely condemned by #OpenGov advocate groups.

#CopWatch

While everyone is comfortable in their beds, these thugs are robbing the dwellings of the unhoused. They think of the homeless as "insects" or "vermin" that need to be raided. Shame on them! These people (there are many) have been living here with nowhere to go for months if not years. Several side walks are covered in tents, two deep in some places. It is a violation of community norms and standards. No one had an issue with this eighth amendment (cruel and unusual sleep deprivation) for a long time and then #PDX started the raids.

Ein Polizist hat in der Nacht auf Dienstag in #Stuttgart-Ost einen 18-Jährigen erschossen. Vorausgegangen sei ein Einsatz wegen einer gewaltsamen Auseinandersetzung in einer Gaststätte, heißt es in einer Mitteilung von #Polizei und Staatsanwaltschaft. Es handelt sich bei dem Polizeitoten nach Zählung des Vereins @cilip um den 15. deutschen Fall 2025 – vier davon in #BaWü.
