The duopoly thinks giving these violent thugs more money to militarize will make your life safer.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.
This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Thanks to everyone who donated and got it to $850. I need to raise another $1150 so that I could pay the retainer.
I’m hoping to do this sometime this week.
Please share, support, or donate—every small action counts. gofund.me/af6e43b9

In 2023, an anonymous tipster told CBC News they knew the name of the police officer who killed Ejaz Choudry.
It was almost impossible to confirm - until now.
These are the officers who were involved. And for one, it wasn't his first fatal encounter:

Baltimore's drop in homicides - 23% since last year and a staggering 40% from two years ago - should be a national story. Mayor Scott's Group Violence Reduction Strategy, which prioritizes resources to those most at risk and community engagement, should be studied and replicated.

Two unarmed community members handled a rifle armed gunman by taking him down with no shots fired. So the cops rolled up uninvited and shot all of them.

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history.
Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.
But it's not over.
A thread.

A police officer in NYC faced demotion and retaliation from higher-ranking cops because he was ticketing drivers that have "courtesy cards" issued by police unions that normally let drivers get away with violations, and now, taxpayers have to pay him a $175k settlement.

ServiceOntario, you say? 😄
For new followers, you may not realize that most ServiceOntario outlets are privately-owned franchises, and organized crime owns a ton of them. Been buying them up for years.
Basically, they know what you drive and where you live. 😘

Many of us work with cops everyday (especially in the psych wards) and if we could tell you how many times they actively escalated situations vs. using de-escalation skills it would be unbelievable.

Police need to be removed from handling tasks for which they are not trained. Mental health, addictions, domestic disputes, homelessness, traffic violations, community disputes, school safety and so much more should be handled by professionals trained for them.
