some #MorningHistory for you. the origins of amerikkkan policing is firmly rooted in a desire 2 control Black bodies. this account of Louisiana’s history of policing & the tale of Bras-Coupé shows how the creation & arming of cops is linked to portraying Black ppl as dangerous

Replying to @USATODAY
The little-known, slavery-era story of one of the first documented police shootings of an American Black man and why police made him a criminal. By @dd_writes usatoday.com/in-depth/news/i…

everyone, meet Aaron Hoffman. @PWCSheriffsOfc “human interaction specialist” by day. Proud Boy supporter threatening to murder governors, nurses, “mentally ill people”, state representatives, and encouraging others to join him by... well every other part of the day. watch out VA
i hope you all will join me in wishing a merry christmas to the prince william county sheriff's office's "human interaction specialist," deputy aaron hoffman. or, as he's known on parler, "wethepeoplewarrior."

the idea of anti-bias trainings for police really brings to life assata’s assertion: “Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has evr gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.” srsly pitch it 2 a cop, they r complete asses abt it

(but actually don’t pitch it to them, the OP and anyone who has ever been a reformist has already done that shit for you so that you can skip right to defunding the police and abolition #YoureWelcome)

this is fucking ridiculous. MPD murders #KaronHilton in cold blood and spends the next three months terrorizing his family. #FuckMPD #FuckNewsham and especially #FuckBowser, shit asshole mayor. #DefundMPD #FreeHerNow
This is crazy. MPD snatches and arrests mother of #KaronHylton who is grieving police killing of her son and has not gotten any answers. This comes week after MPD let Proud Boys riot, run wild, and assault people in DC Streets. #DCProtests #DefendDC

in seattle, police are further displacing unhoused people during a pandemic using flash bangs and pepper spray. but defunding the police is absurd?
#CalAndersonSweep - In my live stream earlier I said the only less than lethal munitions I witnessed was a flash bang. We are now reviewing the footage from team members GoPro’s and we see the use of Pepper Ball Launchers deployed as well. Video also shows an arrest.

"Let’s be honest: Crime coverage is terrible. It’s racist, classist, fear-based clickbait masking as journalism. And for decades, police have harmed Black and brown communities by manipulating the media with half-truths or outright lies." niemanlab.org/2020/12/defund…

Look who is racking up MORE overtime this morning... #Coming in at Number 5 on the list is Kirk Del Po, a Detective Grade II. His base salary was $95,515 in FY2019. How much overtime did he make? $145,265. He went from a $96k a year job to a $241k job. #DefundDCPolice #DefundMD

check out this 🔥 thread from our comrades in @DMVBlackLives, @mdc_dsa, @StopCopTerrorDC, @byp100 and so many others. support #DefundMPD. dc’s terror squad is making a hefty profit off of the brutalizing and murdering of Black and brown DC residents #AbolishMPD #BlackLivesMatter
Police overtime is a BIG deal in DC. You may have heard about @MayorBowser and @councilofdc robbing health care funds during a pandemic to pay a $43 million @DCPoliceDept overtime bill, but do you know how much overtime individual cops make? (1/11)

right like within the last 40 years the police have openly conspired to kill people for calling out police brutality, worked with the FBI to obliterate organizer networks AND THEY STILL DO THESE THINGS but yeah tweet #ACAB and you’re a monster 😒
that so many people think calls to defund or even abolish the police are unprecedented beyond-the-pale outer-limits inflammatory ultra-radical extremist slogans and literal violent attacks on police officers really underscores how much public memory has erased the '60-'70s

in case anyone forgot why DC says #NeverNewsham
DC’s @ChiefNewsham knocked his ex-wife’s teeth out then was promoted to #DC’s top cop and proud protector of the cops who murdered #MarqueeseAlston #JeffreyPrice and #DQuanYoung. #StopMPD #NeverNewsham

on top of @MayorBowser’s silence as white supremacists tore down memorials for Black DC residents murdered by @DCPoliceDept, she said nothing as they physically assaulted DC residents, stabbing at least 3 people, breaking a Black woman’s teeth, and leaving folks w/ concussions
We want everyone to memorialize the fact that DC’s @MayorBowser was silent as white nationalists destroyed art and signs including those on private buildings/ business #BlackLivesMatterPlaza all weekend. Tweet & tell her silence is consent. @CNN @TheRoot @MSNBC #BlackLivesMatter

Proof again that DC’s racist terror gang aka @DCPoliceDept has no problem brutalizing the community. If this is what they do when everyone is watching imagine what happens when the cameras aren’t filming #DefundMPD #StopMPDTerror #AbolishMPD
We need all hands on deck @MayorBowser and @ChiefNewsham terror gang is literally at war with the community at 4D police station. They shooting teargas and rubber bullets @charlesallen #WeKeepUsSafe #BlackLivesMatter @wusa9 @fox5dc @nbcwashington

RT If you are tired of negotiating whether a Black child deserved to be killed by police. If you are tired of paying the salary of our executioners. Regardless, what you see in the tapes, you know Black people deserve better than this #DefundPolice #RefundBlackCommunity #DeonKay
