Protests and police repression continue in Bangkok, Thailand...

[h/t @RobTheRich0001]
From 2020: "Looking at the location of where dogs have been shot across the city and county of Los Angeles, what emerges is a map of deadly police use of force that is highly concentrated in the region’s most impoverished communities of color." slate.com/news-and-polit…
Portland, OR | "At the end, one man was left, drenched in rain, slowly removing his belongings. 'I’m just going to move around the corner, and come back later,' the houseless man said, without evident emotion. 'It’s just the game we have to play.'” wweek.com/news/2021/11/1…
“Portland had a secret police force for the summer of 2020,” wweek.com/news/courts/20…

Philadelphia, PA | “Those documents not only paint a picture of an unfair trial, they also reveal the equally problematic actions of post-conviction prosecutors scrambling to maintain a conviction despite clearly questionable conduct of trial prosecutors,” inquirer.com/news/philadelp…
In a hospital. Jackson, TN | "a fight occurred between the officer and the man (Marcus Mann) leading to the officer firing a shot and striking the man.

Immediately, officers and medics tried to save the man’s life, however, he did not survive..." msn.com/en-us/news/cri…
Miami, FL | "Authorities said the teen was handed over into the custody of Miami-Dade police, and *at some point, he became unconscious.*

"At the #NYPD Academy, in Queens, thirty-five civilians sat in a lecture hall for the final day of their training to become 'community guides,' the N.Y.P.D.’s version of maître d’s or Walmart greeters." newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…
Police are such insufferable pricks to the local communities that they have to hire special civilian greeters to staff local precinct front desks.
Mombasa, Kenya | "Kenya's High Court on Monday jailed four policemen found guilty of the manslaughter of Alexander Monson, the son of a British aristocrat who was found dead in a police cell in the beach town of Diani in 2012." reuters.com/world/uk/kenya…

UK | "A police officer was filmed saying 'chill out or I’ll choke you out' while arresting a suspect who responded by saying 'I can’t breathe' and 'I give up, I give up,' a misconduct hearing has heard." theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/n…

I have been back in El Salvador, in so-called "Bitcoin Beach" itself - for two entire weeks - and I have not observed a single Bitcoin transaction.

Not one.
Not at the pupuserias, not at the little stores and mini markets, not in the restaurants or bars and not even at the one fancy place I went.
Maybe they're using it at the fancy hotels? I don't know. I don't go to those places.

I fucking hope it does long-term and irrevocable damage to "police reform work." That's the fucking point.
One reason shit popped off in Minneapolis:

All their trendy "reforms" were already in place *before* police murdered George Floyd. People had already seen bias training, chokehold bans, bodycameras, "warrior cop" training bans and even prosecutions of cops.

Nothing changed.
Derek Chauvin was a product of their most creative and progressive "police reform." That's kinda the point.

He really did it. He reenacted the "Nazi card" video as an argument. Lmao Glenn Greenwald says: "...
Possibly the only thing more insulting than the proposition that Greenwald was ever a leftist is the insistence that he is also intelligent or talented.

Lunch break today. Finally digging into @Vinncent's "The Jakarta Method," which I conspicuously placed in this food porn picture to demonstrate that I am more than just any old Instagram influencer... 😆 A plate of grilled veggies,...
Finished Dana Frank's "The Long Honduran Night" yesterday. Learned a lot. Highly recommend.
I was waiting and harassing @Vinncent for the soft cover for a year, so I feel obligated to prove I did buy and am reading it. 😆😆

Cris Chamorro cheered on the US-backed rightwing coup in Bolivia in 2019, saying it was an "example" for Nicaragua to follow. Maradiaga is a violent, US-paid Aspen Institute asset and fmr. Contra Cruz was getting off a plane from Washington when he was arrested. But "spurious."
The Ivy Leaguers are at it again...
"It's not paranoia when they really are out to get you."
