  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.”

  3. … “The concern here is that #ICE is going above & beyond to guarantee law enforcement does not have even the slightest risk of #liability for violating Americans’ rights while helping ICE arrest people,” said David Bier, director of #immigration studies at the Cato Institute, who has called on #Congress to make it easier to sue ICE agents for wrongdoing.

  6. #DavidBrouillette has a history of terrifying & #violent behavior, acc/to those relatives. They accuse him of attacking #women in his life over the years, & one shared a voicemail with the AP from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat.

    Brouillette’s troubling past further challenges how #DHS has vetted recruits as it went on a hiring spree to help carry out #Trump’s #immigration crackdown.

  7. #ICE officer in #Maine #shooting has history of #violent behavior, family & records say

    The ICE officer who shot a Colombian man in Maine this week is an Army vet who has struggled with serious mental health issues since early childhood & never should have been given a #badge & #gun to #patrol #US streets, several of his close relatives told AP.

  8. "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!

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

  13. CW: Content warning: Tyre Nichols case

    In the U.S., three police officers are convicted in the Tyre Nichols fatal beating, while two of them are acquitted of civil rights charges.

    CNN reports: "Five officers were charged in Nichols’ death, but two pleaded guilty and testified against members of their old crime suppression unit, eliminating any defense strategy that would have relied on them sticking together. Jurors repeatedly watched graphic clips from police video that showed the officers punch and kick Nichols and hit him with a police baton just steps from his home, as the 29-year-old called out for his mother."

    Grossman has espoused an ideology that his critics say epitomizes…#lawenforcement culture that is overly #militaristic, overly #violent, and sees American police kill civilians at a rate that far eclipses other industrialized countries.

    “We are at war,” Grossman says… in the documentary Do Not Resist…

    “Killing’s not the goal…But we all understand that killing is the likely outcome of what we do.”

  16. The notion of #police being there to #ServeAndProtect in times of need often does not apply to #Indigenous, #Black or other #RacializedMinorities in #Canada. The notion of “help” more often resembles harm.

    This leads to the question, why does #PoliceBrutality against Indigenous and Black people continue to happen? Because it is a symptom of the structural #racism that exists within #Canadian society.

  17. #UNH drops charges against 7 out of 12 people arrested during #ProPalestine #protests

    By Jeremy Margolis, Concord Monitor
    Published August 1, 2024

    "A University of New Hampshire prosecutor this week dropped criminal charges against seven of the people arrested during a May 1 pro-#Palestine protest after they reportedly accepted plea agreements.

    "The seven cases were dismissed nearly three months after UNH police charged 12 people with disorderly conduct and trespassing, nine of whom were set to be arraigned in Dover District Court on Wednesday.

    "The agreements involved 30 hours of community service and a period under which the arrestees must remain in 'good public standing', according to Adeena Ahsan, a UNH graduate student who was not arrested but had been in communication with those offered plea deals.

    "UNH prosecutor #FrankWeeks [who is also a police captain] declined to comment on the nature of the plea deals.

    "Of the other five people arrested, charges had already been dropped against a 'counter-protester' after a friend of his emailed then-President of UNH James Dean that he had been 'mistaken for a protester,' according to a report from the Boston Globe.

    "Cases remain pending against the other four, including against two students who are also facing assault charges. One of them, 21-year-old rising UNH senior #AidanTurner, has said he was mistakenly identified and then violently #arrested by Weeks, the UNH prosecutor who is also a police captain. His case is currently set to go to trial on Sept. 10.

    "The other, 29-year-old graduate student #SebastianRowan, has been charged with two counts each of assault on a police officer and #ResistingArrest. His case is currently before a grand jury with an indictment decision expected by Aug. 21, according to court records.

    "The other two people – 21-year-old #JasonPerra and 19-year-old #LoganONeill – have trials scheduled for October 2 and 9, respectively. Both have been charged with criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct. It was not immediately clear whether they had been offered a plea deal or not."
