At least 6,416 people were #KilledByPolice in #Brazil last year, setting a record high. This year after several massacres, police are on pace to break the record again. unicornriot.ninja/2021/police-in…
The 6,416 people killed last year by police in #Brazil are a 190% increase from 2013. Black Brazilians were killed at the highest rate, accounting for 79% of the deaths by police in 2020 while only representing 56% of the population in the country of 211 million people. sign reading 'vidas negras ...
The vast majority of the families of those #KilledByPolice in #Brazil never receive justice and the lack of accountability has led to the Human Rights Watch seeking a dedicated prosecutorial body to handle cases of police abuse: hrw.org/news/2021/04/1… Image

In response to @JailLawSpeak's callout for #ShutEmDown2021 actions, autonomous prison abolitionists in MN vandalized the office door of prominent jail/prison designer Klein McCarthy Architects with red paint & "No new jails" flyers referring to Klein designing new Winona Co Jail. ImageImage
This morning, along with targeting the office of Klein McCarthy, prison abolitionists in St. Louis Park dropped a banner reading "Klein McCarthy: Architects Of White Supremacy" over Hwy 100 & spray painted "Abolish Prisons", "Klein Cages Kill" & "Avenge Attica". #ShutEmDown2021 ImageImageImage
An anonymous participant of this morning's #ShutEmDown2021 action at Klein McCarthy Architects said although police came, those involved in the action "evaded arrests."

Ruby Montoya admitted along w Jessica Reznicek to sabotaging the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Recent motions filed by Montoya seek to nullify her guilty plea, in part by claiming other activists coerced her into acts she previously stated she undertook freely: unicornriot.ninja/2021/ruby-mont…
Ruby Montoya’s codefendant, Jessica Reznicek, recently reported to prison to begin her 8 year sentence, saying she was “feeling strong in spirit and ready to move on to the next phase of my life”: unicornriot.ninja/2021/dapl-sabo…
Unlike Reznicek, Montoya has had her sentencing hearings delayed, and has filed sealed motions with the court - activists charged for direct actions generally avoid sealed filings because they are often a sign that a cooperating deal may have been reached with prosecutors.

Two years ago #ElijahMcClain had a deadly encounter with police officers and paramedics in Aurora #Colorado. Today, three of the officers and two paramedics were charged in connection to his death.
The charges handed down by a grand jury to each of the five defendants are one charge of manslaughter, one charge of criminally negligent homicide, and various assault charges.
On August 23, 2019, McClain, a 23-year-old Black man, was walking home from a convenience store listening to music through his headphones and dancing, while also wearing a ski mask for warmth since he was anemic. Someone who saw him thought he looked suspicious and called 9-1-1.
