#TIL that #StockholmSyndrome was invented by #police and a bad psychologist to discredit a female hostage who didn't trust the cops after they did nothing to protect the captive employees during a bank heist.
Her "crime" was trying to negotiate with the criminals to protect her own life, while the police and the state preferred having dead hostages over closing any deal with the thieves.

Today in Labor History October 1, 1964: The Free Speech Movement began on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, when activist Jack Weinberg was arrested for refusing to show his identification to the campus police while standing at an illegal political literature table. Thousands of students spontaneously surrounded the police car, which remained there for 32 hours, with Weinberg inside. Protesters used the car as a speaker's podium. The Free Speech Movement lasted for two years and was the first mass act of civil disobedience on an American college campus in the 1960s. Students were fighting for, and won, the right to have public political activities on campus, particularly in support of the Civil Rights and Anti-Vietnam War Movements.

A #Chicago cop got out of 44 tickets by saying over and over that his girlfriend stole his car.
And it worked.
All 44 times, his tickets were dismissed.
At hearings, Jeffrey Kriv often provided what he said were legitimate #police incident reports as evidence of the car thefts. He explained that he got the reports at police HQ.
What is the real difference between #Biden and #Trump? Both are #Zionists, supporting genocide. Both, despite Biden’s campaign promises, are most content for U.S. citizens to live in a repressive #police state. Neither is beholden to the will of the voters; #lobbyists are the people who have the most influence over policy. Both are willing to spend billions on #apartheid#Israel

Today in Labor History February 4, 1979: Six workers were killed by police in the massacre of Cromotex, Lima Peru. The workers had taken over the factory after it went bankrupt and its owners tried to close it down. Led by a hardline revolutionary, Hemigidio Huertas, workers armed with sticks took the premises over. They held out for a week, killing a police captain in the process. When police later stormed the factory, they killed six workers including Huertas. One of the survivors, Nestor Cerpa, was arrested and jailed for 10 months. After his release, he went underground and started to organize the MRTA, or Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement.

Why did I pass motorcycle cops escorting a funeral? Why do we need a paramilitary force to escort a family?
Why not create an unarmed traffic safety division, that helps with traffic at schools, funerals, sports games AND helps motorists who are stranded or have disabled vehicles?
Where would we get the money? Take it from the people getting it now, the police.
You can do that by #defunding them or by abolishing them.
