  6. It's not just progressives. Civil libertarians have been calling for the DHS's and ICE's dismantlement 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴, in fact since their inception in the wake of September 11. This may finally be the moment.

  7. Everything we know about the Minneapolis tragedy, and the unresolved question of whether the use of deadly force was really necessary in light of all the known circumstances (court precedent states probably not), and whether the courts will deny qualified immunity.

  8. Berenice Garcia-Hernandez, a U.S. citizen in Oregon, was detained by ICE last Monday for about seven hours after taking photos of unmarked agents’ vehicles at a Chick-fil-A. She acted after a Facebook alert, capturing license plates—something she says is protected by free speech. ICE alleges she drove off, prompting agents to follow her, and then pulled her over when she stopped at traffic lights. Her story highlights concerns over ICE’s tactics, surveillance, and the right to record law enforcement. What does this say about security vs. civil rights?

  9. What's this?

    Young Russians in #SaintPetersburg, singing the #rap song "Cooperative #SwanLake"

    (if you don't get it, ask me)

    It's an anti-war song by #NoizeMC. #IvanAlekseev is an anti-#corruption, anti-#policeAbuse, pro-#Ukraine, anti-#Putin Russian #rapper forced to live in exile in #Lithuania

    It's ok to dream that the #GenZ #Protests that are sweeping the globe and ending bad governments sweep up #Russia too

    But remember, it's only a dream

    For now

  10. My Pixel 10 warned me that there was a rogue connection made on my phone.

    A concerning thing happened today while I was walking through my building. I have a #Pixel 10 Pro XL phone, which may be the first phone to give warnings when the phone connects to a rogue cellphone tower or IMSI catcher. The OS cannot block it; it can only tell you that someone read information, and it presents an alert. It says,

    "Your data may be at risk. Device ID accessed. At 6:57 PM a nearby network recorded your device's unique ID (IMSI or IMEI) while using your T-Mobile SIM. This means that your location, activity, or identity has been logged."

    I didn't ever get an alert before walking through the building, but this time, during a 30-minute walk through the building, I got about 8 alerts, ranging between 1 and 3 minutes apart.

    Using this information from repeated connections, someone can follow my movements and location; they can identify it's me because the IMSI number is unique to my phone, so it can be an indication that someone was collecting all the cellphone information in the area, most likely law enforcement.

    It can also mean that I was connecting to a rogue cell phone tower, not just an IMSI catcher, and it was an attempted Stingray attack, likely also law enforcement. If successful, they can try to see and hear what I'm doing on my phone, as my phone won't know that it's a fake cellphone tower.

    Be aware that a rogue tower will try to negotiate your phone's connection down to a 2G connection, which is unencrypted, providing them with access to everything that you are doing and saying. Please go into your phone's settings and disable 2G!!

    It's been believed for some time that this technology has been used by law enforcement secretly and consistently. This is creepy and unnerving.

    Turning off the phone, by the way, doesn't stop an IMSI catcher. Your phone still responds. You need to keep the phone in a Faraday bag if you're really concerned.

    It's a good thing that phones are now starting to inform people that they are being watched and that people will begin to see how much of an issue this is. You can assume that your local law enforcement knows where you are all the time.

  11. SPD says they "attempted de-escalation, including the use of a less-lethal device." Per the scanner, that was a 40 mm foam-tipped round.

    Police assign lethal and less-lethal roles, and they often fire simultaneously or in quick succession in cases like this.

  12. More recently, in LA, we saw LAPD fatally shoot Linda Becerra Moran, a trans sex worker from about 10 feet away for taking a few steps toward officers with a knife.

    She was never an imminent threat to them.

    Moran initially called the police reporting that she had been kidnapped and sex trafficked.

  15. Topacio checked his wife’s criminal history and obtained her mug shot before their first date.

    He later abused police databases to run background checks on his wife’s relatives and friends at least eight times at their request.

  16. Please take some time to send a strong message about how invading our home was WRONG.
    After I repeatedly told them everyone coming in MUST mask up because Dad had zero immunity & me & Mom are immunological compromised. My Dad was dying & that fucker chose to use ego/power of authority to abuse & traumatize my entire family. My Dad died with cops as one of his last living memories. I won't EVER forgive anyone who let that happen. My Dad had police traumas stemming back to his young adult years as a political university student activist in Saigon. He faced many brutal & violent police inflicted tortures. He still refused to stop fighting for what is right.

    Reference date: June 8, 2023.

    I take after my Dad. I will continue to fight for him & our family, even if people stop supporting us.

  17. In May 2023, LECC described a pattern of consistent, systemic noncooperation from NSW Police, effectively thwarting or delaying many of LECC's attempts at investigation. As a result, LECC described some of its own powers as merely 'illusory': “In every critical incident investigation to date, involved police officers have refused to consent to the commission investigator being present or to remotely observe their interviews.”

    In New South Wales, the number of official complaints each year of police misconduct have more than tripled since 2015–16.

  18. The police watchdog is called the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission, or #LECC. LECC ought never be mentioned without also mentioning that the former #Coalition government established it in 2017 with such insufficient funding that it only has the resources to investigate 1-2% of the thousands of complaints made against NSW Police each year. Enormous numbers of complaints, including those involving serious #corruption, are either completely unaddressed or handed over for police to investigate themselves.

    The Coalition founded LECC in 2017 as a replacement for multiple prior police accountability organisations, including the Police Integrity Commission (PIC) that was set up after the Woods Royal Commission confirmed longstanding allegations of serious and non-isolated police corruption in NSW. As it was being set up, the Police Union and relevant government minister sought to prevent anyone who worked at PIC from being hired for LECC, according to testimony under oath in 2018 from the newly appointed LECC head to parliamentary committee (claims denied by the then police minister).

  19. Unless a homocide or a suicide is legitimately eminent, DO NOT call the #police on your family. The police are not your friends, and they're not there to help you work through a personal problem. Their job is to identify crimes, and arrest whoever they deem responsible. If it's a #mentalHealth issue, find another way to get help because the #criminalJusticeSystem is simply not equipped to appropriately deal with people suffering from a #mentalHealthCrisis.

  20. Awesome news from friends at court watch, the charges have been dropped against Free Palestine protesters!

    Pro-Palestinian organizers have been on a media blitz since last weekend's unjustified violent arrests.

    Their press conference from earlier this week depicts a police department rife with bias.

  21. What's the difference between a bribe and a fine?

    A fine you may not have to pay.

    -=-=-=-=-

    When the penalty to breaking the law is paying a fine, it's the same as bribing - except that most violations are never charged or convicted and most fines are cheaper than bribes.

    "So break the law. It'll be cheaper to pay the after-bribe / fine, and we may not even have to pay it at all!"
