#ACAB Daily Digest (August 23, 2022)🧵:
Police are not here to prevent or solve "crime." So when they are tasked to do so, they're not particularly good at it.

I do this every day already.
Tampa, FL | "Deputy Jason Desue left the Bradford County Sheriff’s Office after the incident, which occurred around midnight on Friday, Aug. 12" thehill.com/homenews/36120…
Lincoln, NE | #CopsLie h/t @EMP34599825
Mexico | As the people said *all along*, it was the state.
It was the state.
UPDATE: Hillsboro, OR | 20-year-old Jose Juan Aguilar-Mandujano.
"The family says their son being shot could’ve been avoided given the precinct was so close, saying the officer could’ve called for backup.
Jose Juan did not have a weapon" msn.com/en-us/news/cri…
Just as I said yesterday.
Fairfield, CA | "Officers were responding to a report of a man possibly setting up camp... they saw Robert Wilson, who has a record, and a warrant for failing to appear in court... Police said officers found five weapons in his possession." nbcbayarea.com/news/local/nor…
Someone "setting up camp" has a "failure to appear?" And five "weapons?" Sounds exactly like pigs shot someone who lives in their van and has all the implements for survival in that van (that police can and do call "weapons.")
Atlanta, GA | "A decision is expected Tuesday in the criminal case against two Atlanta police officers charged in relation to the June 2020 shooting death of Rayshard Brooks" edition.cnn.com/2022/08/23/us/…
Biloxi, MS | wlox.com/video/2022/08/…
Colombia | "Ten police officers have been arrested in Colombia on suspicion of involvement in the killing of three youths.
The three were shot dead while in police custody in northern Sucre province on 25 July." bbc.com/news/world-lat…
The year is 2022. The #ACAB Quote of the Day is from a bot account.
UPDATE: Mulberry, AR | "The Crawford County Sheriff's Office identified the three officers as Crawford County deputies Zack King and Levi White and Mulberry police officer Thell Riddle." npr.org/2022/08/23/111…
Today in #PigTech: Dallas pigs to wear bodycams even at off-duty policing/security moonlighting jobs (because they're killing people there, too, and want more snuff films, I guess.) dallasnews.com/news/public-sa…
Arizona's totalitarian fascist, "no filming the police at all" law getting an unsurprising legal challenge.

St. Louis, MO | "officers welcome accountability, but that the new law is flawed because parts of it conflict with Missouri’s Officers’ Bill of Rights law." ky3.com/2022/08/23/new…
"Eight years after Michael Brown’s death, pushed the St. Louis region front and center into the national debate over police accountability, the city’s elected officials and its police associations are at odds over a new oversight plan."
Eight years and they still can't even get toothless, widely-proven-failures like CRB's in St. Louis.
The fact that pigs have their own, separate "bill of rights" in so many states should tell you what kind of country the USA is.

Fort Worth, TX | 40% of cops *get caught* for their domestic violence.
"Nickolas Honea is *at least the third* Fort Worth police officer arrested on domestic-violence related charges in the past four months." dallasnews.com/news/crime/202…
Brazil | "On May 24, 25 people were killed during a police operation in the Vila Cruzeiro Favela in Rio de Janeiro. On July 21, 2022, yet another police raid claimed 18 more lives in Complexo do Alemao in the same state." aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/…
Philadelphia, PA |
San Francisco, CA | Armed police kidnapped someone upon threat of death, drove them far from their home and abandoned them there. But they said they were "sorry," so it's ok.
Love to violently coerce people into my car, drive them somewhere they're unfamiliar with and abandon them there and then just say, "Oops. It was a mistake. Whoopsie."
An interesting thing about this allegedly-media-polished professional spokesperson and their public apology is that they are openly admitting this actual, violent kidnapping wasn't a rogue officer doing a bad thing, but a conspiracy to commit crime.
"*We* made a mistake."
