  1. In the wake of a hiring surge last summer, an official in charge of evaluating new recruits to #ICE issued a dire warning.

    The #Trump admin, he wrote in a memo, was cutting corners, violating the #law & fast-tracking unqualified, “improperly vetted” candidates into ICE’s ranks, part of a dangerous move that exposed the agency—& its law enforcement operations—to “grave national security risks.”

  6. "Brno court [...] sentenced a former police officer to three and a half years in prison for a brutal assault on a Vietnamese national which took place in January 2009. The man later died of serious internal injuries" -- "if he had received timely medical attention, he could have survived despite having a ruptured spleen and severe internal bleeding" -- "what the police thought was heroin were actually packages of starch" -- "yelling that he hated the Vietnamese" -- "abuse of power" -- "died the next day of serious injuries" -- "“[...]did not provide any medical attention"" -- "Two other policemen, who were standing by but did not interfere, landed conditional sentences. "

    I better not buy starch now! Are there any other foodstuffs that I should avoid buying if I don't want to be IMO killed by brutal assault by the brutal Czech regime? Flour? Sugar? Baking soda? Salt? Now a citizen is afraid to buy basic foodstuffs! I believe that is called terrorism!

  7. How tight is the #RightToProtest?

    From 418 arrests in 1977 to fresh clashes in Sydney: Debate over #Australia’s right to protest continues

    "What many may not realise is that the right to protest in Australia is not protected by one simple law. It’s implied in the constitution under freedom of political communication and exists under international human rights law, which Australia has agreed to uphold. Only #Queensland, #Victoria and the #ACT explicitly protect the right to peaceful assembly, freedom of association and freedom of expression. And laws protecting the right to peaceful protest in Australia can be limited."

    " 'The day of the political street march is over,' Joh Bjelke-Petersen declared. 'Don’t bother to apply for a permit. You won’t get one. That’s government policy now.'

    "A few weeks later, thousands of people defied then-Queensland premier Bjelke-Petersen’s proclamation and gathered in Brisbane for an #AntiUranium march.

    "Ian Curr remembers an intense, unrelenting heat on that day nearly 50 years ago. It was 'boiling hot', the long-time #AntiNuclear activist says. So hot that when protesters sat on the road, arms linked in passive defiance, it was 'not very pleasant' because the tarmac was scorching. Other memories emerge from the haze: lines of police, three and four deep, surrounding protesters; a woman with tears streaming down her face who had just heard her partner was arrested.

    "Fear swirled up spines and into the air. These were the years after the #Springbok tour #AntiApartheid protests had been violently suppressed.

    "That afternoon in October 1977, 418 people were arrested and Queensland’s 'RightToMarch' movement quickly entered a new era. #CivilLiberties demonstrations continued until the ban — originally enacted to curb a growing anti-nuclear movement — was lifted two years later.

    "Ross Gwyther was exhilarated seeing some 5,000 anti-nuclear marchers turn out that day. But the sensation was tempered by an 'intense fear because there’d already been many cases of #PoliceBrutality'.

    "These were extraordinary times, as the Fitzgerald Inquiry would later attest. For Gwyther and many of the #ratbags, #activists and #CivilLibertarians of Queensland it was a defining moment. That era in Brisbane radicalised a lot of people, Gwyther says, who embarked on a lifetime of 'political activism, both through parliamentary politics or by grassroots politics'.

    "These moments mark you, Curr says, turning to the events in Sydney this week. 'The people who saw that violence in Sydney, in 40 or 50 years, they will not forget it. In the same way I do not forget police brandishing batons and punching and throwing people into paddy wagons. It’s something you do not forget.'

    "In the aftermath of last Monday’s protest against Israeli President #IsaacHerzog’s visit in #Sydney, shaky, chaotic videos began to emerge online. A man lies on tram tracks, restrained by officers who punch him 18 times. #Protesters are pushed, they struggle to their feet, crowds stumble around them. Men bowed in prayer are wrenched from their worship by police. A grandmother is in hospital with a spinal injury. She says she feared being suffocated in a stampede as she lay on the ground in agony. She alleges she was pushed over by police."

  8. Judge Paul A. Magnuson #dismissed the charges on Friday with #prejudice, meaning the case cannot be refiled.

    #ToddLyons, the acting director of #ICE, said in a statement Friday that 2 officers seemed to have provided “inaccurate testimony” [straight up #perjury].

  9. Fleming represents the two men — a Venezuelan man & a Mexican man both in the country illegally — in the ongoing litigation that claims the #FederalGovernment continues to violate the 2022 Castañon Nava settlement agreement, which limits #ICE's ability to #arrest people without #warrants or #ProbableCause.

  10. #BorderPatrol agents seen at a #protest near #Minneapolis, #Minnesota, appear to be a mix of the agency’s special response team and its Border Patrol Tactical Unit, also known as #BORTAC.

    BORTAC agents are *generally* “trained” in crowd control & crowd dispersion, as well as other tactics to protect property. #PepperSpray & #TearGas canisters are among tools agents have used for crowd control.

  11. In the midst of a global uprising against police brutality and systemic racism, No Visible Trauma examines a deeply troubled police department and reveals the devastating consequences of unchecked police brutality. Despite its relatively low crime rates, recent years have seen the Calgary Police Service shoot and kill more people than officers in any other Canadian city, and more than either the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. Five years in the making, the film unravels the intertwined stories of three individuals who were the victims of extreme violence at the hands of police officers. From the kidnapping and beating of a young immigrant from Ghana, to the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a “wellness check”, the film exposes a criminal justice system that fails to hold police officers accountable for their actions.

    This doc focuses on CalgaryPD but the issues raised are happening across AB, in BC, Manitoba, Ontario & many more places across Canada. Canadian cops keep getting away with crimes & human rights abuses, daily, in Canada. Systemic racism is still a major problem across the country - no matter how much our governments try to whitewash their PR.

  12. US Dist Judge Georgia Alexakis heard testimony 2 eks ago about what happened after the Oct 4 incident in Brighton Park, which led to a standoff between protesters and federal agents who deployed #PepperSpray balls & #TearGas into the crowd.

    Solicitor General John Sauer has also pointed to it while arguing #SCOTUS should let #Trump deploy #NationalGuard troops to #Chicago [these Trump attys🙄].

  14. “It’s about their practices targeting #journalists, targeting #clergy & people exercising their constitutional rights,” said Craig Futterman, atty for the #media orgs. “We have #children, #parents & #grandparents who will forever be afraid to exercise their very rights that make this country great, assaulted by the very people assigned to protect those freedoms.”

  15. “Excited Delirium” Is Pseudoscience. Police Often Cite It to Justify Brutality.

    For decades, police, medical examiners, and coroners have used the term used to cover up killings in police custody.

A grim countdown score in the form of a simple number: how many are still left? That is the #DisintegrationScore. 43... for now.

    Keeping track of this #DisintegrationChecklist, & the
    #DisintegrationScore, is not a silly thing. I am not trying to #gamify the #apocalypse. It is a concrete measure, and if it is widely shared, it will make apparent even to the distracted the accelerating loss. A tool for those capable of caring.
