"Police were pushing into the camp after an hours-long standoff. Chan, 31, a medical tent volunteer, said protesters limped in with severe puncture wounds, but there was little hope of getting them to a hospital through the chaos outside. Chan suspects the injuries were caused by rubber bullets or other 'less lethal' projectiles, which police have confirmed were fired at protesters."
#Albuquerque Is Throwing Out the Belongings of #Homeless People, Violating City Policy
The city has violated a court order and its own policies by discarding the personal property of thousands of homeless people, who have lost medications, birth certificates, IDs, treasured family photos and the ashes of loved ones.
The National’s content editor was standing roughly 100m from the demonstration when he was confronted by an officer who claimed he was being “obstructive to the police”.
The encounter was recorded. The officer claimed he didn’t have “free roam to go about protest sites” and suggested he could be arrested under Section 20 of the #Police and Fire Reform Act.
An arrested University of #California#Irvine professor makes the connection between paying for #police repression of #protest and starving public #education with austerity:
“These police officers out here today: that’s thousands of student scholarships. Thousands of students could’ve been able to go to school and have books and have housing”
Macron sort l’artillerie lourde administrative en demandant l'instauration de l'état d'urgence en Nouvelle-Calédonie: "Le Président de la République a demandé que le décret soit inscrit à l’ordre du jour du Conseil des ministres qui se réunira à 16h30", annonce l'Élysée. La suspension des libertés publiques, couvre-feu etc.
La #France a fait parti des pays les plus restrictifs des #libertés_individuelles pendant le #covid, allant jusqu'à interdire l'accès aux plages et aux forêts, et demander une auto-declaration écrite pour sortir.
Selon le ministère de l'intérieur, 21 millions de contrôles ont été faits en 🇫🇷 pendant les 2 mois de #confinement 2020. Une enquête du @cnrs sur 16 000 personnes estime que 28% des gens y ont été contrôlé par les forces de l'ordre au moins 1 fois
"Dans des départements comme la #Sarthe ou le #Lot, #police et gendarmerie ont réalisé autant de contrôles qu’il y avait d’habitants adultes"
En Nouvelle-Calédonie, le gendarme grièvement blessé est mort, a appris BFM. 500 policiers et gendarmes supplémentaires vont être mobilisés dans les prochaines heures sur le caillou, en plus des 1800 déjà déployés. La politique coloniale répressive est en marche...
Étrange sentiment en visitant l'Allemagne : où se cachent les agents de la Polizei ? Où sont les militaires qui patrouillent avec des armes de guerre ? Où sont les vigiles de sécurité privée devant toutes les entrées ?
La France serait donc bien un État Policier anxiogène ?
J'ai arpenté des heures durant la gare centrale de #Berlin, une des plus grosses d'Europe, pas un uniforme en vue.
I knew my hometown, a fairly liberal place in a relatively liberal state of California and the state capital, had a #sheriff sharing out-of-state license plate data.
It's almost impossible to control sheriffs in most states because they are elected and answer to no one.
#AI#GenerativeAI#Police#Surveillance: "Moreover, if the AI-generated report is incorrect, can we trust police will contradict that version of events if it's in their interest to maintain inaccuracies? On the flip side, might AI report writing go the way of AI-enhanced body cameras? In other words, if the report consistently produces a narrative from audio that police do not like, will they edit it, scrap it, or discontinue using the software altogether?
And what of external reviewers’ ability to access these reports? Given police departments’ overly intense secrecy, combined with a frequent failure to comply with public records laws, how can the public, or any external agency, be able to independently verify or audit these AI-assisted reports? And how will external reviewers know which portions of the report are generated by AI vs. a human?
Police reports, skewed and biased as they often are, codify the police department’s memory. They reveal not necessarily what happened during a specific incident, but what police imagined to have happened, in good faith or not. Policing, with its legal power to kill, detain, or ultimately deny people’s freedom, is too powerful an institution to outsource its memory-making to technologies in a way that makes officers immune to critique, transparency, or accountability." https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/05/what-can-go-wrong-when-police-use-ai-write-reports
