  2. "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!

    A "No Kings" protest in Memphis on March 28, 2026, ended in confrontation between demonstrators and the Memphis Police Department (MPD), resulting in multiple arrests and the use of chemical irritants. The demonstration, focusing on political opposition, saw police move to disperse marchers on Ida B. Wells Street, leading to allegations of excessive force.

    "Indivisible Memphis issued a statement around 10 p.m., Monday, 'Permits are not the issue. Police violence is,' the group's statement read. 'What we saw was excessive, disproportionate, and unjustified force used against people who were peacefully protesting and posed no threat to public safety. MPD’s response was about silencing voices, intimidating communities, and discouraging people from exercising their fundamental rights.'"

  4. 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.

  5. #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."
