#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.
CT state troopers entered up to 60K fake tickets, issued to imaginary white people, to game a database designed to ferret out racial profiling. (And didn't enter real tickets issued to Black people.) One in 4 troopers were doing it. And it seems like nobody is being punished for this crime.
One Woman Died on an #Alaska Mayor’s Property. Then Another. No One Has Ever Been Charged.
Before they died, Jennifer Kirk and Sue Sue Norton were both victims of domestic violence, but the men involved — the ex-mayor’s sons — faced few consequences despite a long history of similar allegations.
Yesterday at a protest, Dutch #police ordered everyone to remove their face mask.
It was a large gathering, and several of us were wearing #masks to protect against #covid19. It's a bloody pandemic, after all!
I did not comply, but felt very uncomfortable after the order. As if a target had been painted on my forehead.
It doesn't help that anti-mask attitudes are the new norm, and that those trying to avoid covid are abandoned from all sides. And yes, lefties, this includes many of you.
Stressed beyond her limits and overwhelmed by hours of shock and grief after illegal police raids on her home and the Marion County Record newspaper office Friday, 98-year-old newspaper co-owner Joan Meyer, otherwise in good health for her age, collapsed Saturday afternoon and died at her home.
A fifth-grader from #Brownsville ISD reported being bullied by his principal. Five days later, he was handcuffed and detained. He spent 3 days in solitary confinement.
Looks like the #AntiMonarchist demonstrators were subject to a classic bait & switch operation today - they were reassured through detailed meetings with the #Police, led to believe there was a way that they could exercise their right to protest, only then to be arrested when they did... so much for #democracy - another step down a road we're constantly told is merely scaremongering.... its almost entrapment
This week: When #Brownsville ISD had an 11-year-old boy arrested and placed in #solitary confinement, we dug deeper. What we found was horrifying: Over 75 fifth-grade students have been arrested there this year.
The idea that Indigenous, brown, and Black people should carry firearms to protect ourselves under the 2nd Amendment kinda falls apart when cops shoot us multiple times for having cellphones, wallets, or dark-coloured hands.
In an unprecedented raid Friday, local law enforcement seized computers, cellphones and reporting materials from the Marion County Record office, the newspaper's reporters, and the publisher's home.
A Chicago #Cop Is Accused of Lying Under Oath 44 Times. Now #Prosecutors Are Dropping Cases That Relied on His Testimony.
Former #Chicago officer Jeffrey Kriv faces charges for #perjury and #forgery after getting out of dozens of #traffic violations by claiming his girlfriend had stolen his car.
Now, cases that stem from #arrests Kriv made are in jeopardy.
Yet more misogyny by the UK's #police... it seems some police forces are testing women who have suffered from miscarriages for the presence of #abortion drugs in their body.
As if having a miscarriage wasn't distressing enough, now the state wants to check whether it can prosecute you.
A women's right to choose is where we should be, not in this latest twist on surveillance society.
#Police Resistance and #Politics Undercut the Authority of Prosecutors Trying to Reform the Justice System
After major American cities began electing prosecutors who campaigned on the promise of systemic reform, law enforcement unions labeled these DAs as soft on #crime while lawmakers made legal and legislative efforts to remove them from office.
"More people were killed by U.S. law enforcement in 2023 than any other year in the past decade, outpacing population growth eightfold. But despite a focus on urban areas, fatal police violence is increasingly happening in small town America at the hands of sheriffs, the top law enforcement officials in counties nationwide." #policehttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/county-sheriffs-deaths-accountability/
Today in Labor History October 15, 1966: The Black Panther Party was created by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, in Oakland, California. One of their early core practices was open-carry armed citizen’s patrols monitoring abusive police behavior. They also implemented free breakfast programs and community health clinics, and advocated for revolutionary class struggle. The FBI sabotaged the Panthers through its COINTELPRO and participated in the assassination of Panthers, like Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. In 1969, the Panthers officially declared sexism to be counterrevolutionary and ordered its male members to treat women as equals. In 1970, Huey Newton expressed support for the Women’s Liberation Movement, and the LGBTQ Liberation Movement which, he correctly noted, were subject to much of the same police brutality as were African Americans.
She named her kids "Aryan" and "Nation," and the cops slow-walked their investigation and tried to blame her Native American victim until the media brought some heat.

« les jeunes hommes perçus comme noirs ou arabes ont une probabilité vingt fois plus élevée que l’ensemble de la population d’être contrôlés par la police. »
Testé sur le terrain.
Voilà.
La police est raciste.
Ce ne sont pas juste des cas isolés.
