I remember when I found the #knife in the car (being defleeted and sold to a work colleague) - she was quite alarmed and her first thought was asking if it should be handed in to #Police
I couldn't see any evidence it had been used in crime (vehicles previous owner before it ended up on our fleet was working in construction/trades and simply forgot about it), so it went on my tool trolley.
I last used it to open a cardboard box containing a starter battery, I am going on long drive this weekend through multiple regions so now need to check my car to make sure its not anywhere "close to hand"
Which is how #crime impacts society - #criminals rarely win as they get caught and sent to #prison - but everyone else loses in the process (the case will also be used to justify further #CCTV use)

“Defunding the police was an idea that stemmed from valuing human life more than a candy bar or a broken taillight.
“The way such an idea was dismissed and characterized as an absurd attack on sensible society and politics, you’d think it was actually enacted and led to the unraveling of the paradise that we lived in. But it wasn’t.”
#USpol #police #AOC
“Defund…” was a bad slogan for a reasonable idea (scared ppl). #PublicSafety needs a reboot. From the ground up.

[Vidéo] « Permis de tuer » : comment un pays glisse vers le fascisme
Le 7 juillet 2026, l'Assemblée nationale a voté une loi qui présume qu'un policier qui tire a bien agi. Dans la rue, on l'appelle déjà le « permis de tuer ».
Ce nom n'est pas né ces derniers jours. Il vient d'une longue histoire de luttes et d'une phrase prononcée en 2001, à la sortie…

“It just shouldn’t be a thing.”
“Suicide by cop” is one of the major lenses through which people view and understand police shootings, but the frequency, the attributes, and even the validity of the concept are ill-understood. https://www.texasobserver.org/suicide-by-cop-austin-accountability-police-shooting/
