#ACAB Daily Digest (November 29, 2021)🧵:

The politics of policing and "reform"... Simpsons cartoon meme. Caption reads: "We've tried givi
Important side-by-side of how a deadly hit-and-run by an off-duty Newark cop was initially reported by "journalists" who only recite exactly what police tell them. | #copaganda
About that San Francisco "crimewave..." |
(From October) Oakland, CA |“The police are there in our community not to promote our welfare or for our security or our safety, but they’re there to contain us, to brutalize us, to murder us.” motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
Glen Burnie, MD | "When they entered the home, they were greeted by this armed subject who was still armed with this weapon [a knife]. Officers told that subject to drop the weapon multiple times," msn.com/en-us/news/cri…
Bear, DE | "Troopers reportedly fired at a suspect vehicle at some point, but there's been no word on any injuries." wdel.com/news/officer-i…
attempt to ram Culver, IN | "After the deputy exited his vehicle, the suspect allegedly drove the Chevrolet forward to pin the deputy between the two vehicles... [the] deputy then fired several rounds from his handgun. The driver was struck..." and killed. fox59.com/news/suspected…
Welfare check becomes police shooting in Centerville, IN | "The Wayne County Emergency Communication Center received calls of a female threatening suicide on South St. in Centerville, Ind. just after 6:30 p.m." whio.com/news/local/off…
Pigs *always* go to the hospital for their boo-boos to justify shootings. (NY) | " The trooper was taken to Elmhurst Hospital for treatment of a minor leg injury and was released." fox5ny.com/news/ny-state-…
Tortured then murdered in Winston-Salem, NC | "the suspect, later identified as Adam McKnight, 33, refused to drop the weapon and aggressively walked towards officers.

Tasers were used four times but were not effective." myfox8.com/news/north-car…
Forest Lake, MN | "The suspect posed a threat to officers and 'shots were fired,' Weiss said. He would not clarify by whom shots were fired." kstp.com/news/forest-la…
Roanoke, VA | “He wasn’t really the type of person to cause an issue to where we would have expected something like this,” she said. wsls.com/news/2021/11/2…
(Monday is apparently going to be extra long now that I'm taking Sunday off because police don't stop when I do.)
Long Beach, MS | "the shooting happened following a traffic stop near the Circle K on Highway 90. One person was shot, but was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition." msn.com/en-us/news/cri…
Paid vacation for vaccine-resisting pigs in Australia | "the union had successfully lobbied the police executive to allow unvaccinated officers to be stood down on full pay while an investigation was launched." abc.net.au/news/2021-11-2…
Had him trapped/surrounded. (Mounds View, MN) | "Employees ran outside and told officers the suspect was inside *by himself.* Officers from Mounds View and New Brighton entered the store where they were 'confronted by the armed suspect,'" and killed him. startribune.com/police-shoot-a…
So they had an armed person alone in a store and they cowboy'd in, guns blazing, immediately to execute him on the spot rather than wait and get an inevitable surrender. I see.
Orem, UT | "the incident started at 11:46 p.m. Sunday night when a domestic violence call was reported to police... at least one of the officers fired shots.. The man was given medical assistance, but he died from his injuries on the scene." fox13now.com/news/local-new…
Louisville, KY | "An officer with the Shepherdsville Police Department (Christopher Cowan) has been arrested after police say he was driving drunk and left the scene of a crash." wdrb.com/news/shepherds…
Seems like a pretty significant and related "meanwhile" in Nigeria... | "Meanwhile, the residents of Azia Community in Ihiala Local Government Area, where the ambush occurred, are accusing the police of killing a 20-year-old woman, Chidimma Ezeanochie." premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines…
So some people ambushed a police patrol and killed two cops *in the same area where police murdered a young woman* and this funny article is like, "but they're probably not related or whatever."
No shit??? Solomon Islands | "The Solomon Islands most populous province, the source of anti-government protestors who converged on the capital Honiara last week, is unhappy Australia sent in police and soldiers" reuters.com/world/china/so…
Springfield, MA | "Suspended Springfield police detective Gregg A. Bigda is poised to stand trial on civil rights charges related to the arrests and interrogation of three Latino youths..." masslive.com/news/2021/11/s…
These are all "stories" being *placed* by police "unions" and their publicists angling for pay and benefit increases for the membership. Bet. | ajc.com/news/crime/geo…
#ICYMI | Always film police. That they are whining about it shows that it's effective and necessary. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
Not unrelated to earlier post about pigs whining about staff shortages. | "The FOP believes the decision to ratify the proposal can help with recruitment and retention efforts," wdrb.com/news/fop-membe…
Today in #PigTech (Canada) | "Stored in systems with names like Niche RMS or Police Records Information Management Environment, better known as PRIME, police use this information to track individuals — even those who have never been accused of a crime..." thestar.com/opinion/contri…
Aurora, CO | "After interviewing witnesses, detectives determined that the incident started with an argument between the 36-year-old former officer and a group of teenagers over alleged careless driving in the neighborhood." 9news.com/article/news/c…
Los Angeles, CA (#LAPD) | "The case raises red flags about the LAPD's oversight of the gun store and its ability to investigate its own officers." yahoo.com/news/theft-44-…
From 2013, also #LAPD illegally selling guns. | archive.kpcc.org/news/2013/05/2…
(Honestly, I've seen @AdamOfTheSmiths talking about the current illegal gun scandal at the #LAPD and mostly ignored it because I thought it was the *same scandal* from 2013. Turns out it's an entirely *new*, stolen/illegal gun sale scandal...)

Milking this "Good Greenwald Gone Bad" narrative is not only more grist for their substacks, it also serves to obscure their own inability to identify a lifelong cryptofascist taking ordinary, right-wing, libertarian (white supremacist) positions for twenty years.
He was always - at best - an "America First" libertarian. But mostly a rightwinger. It's really not complicated.
Being shameless hacks means never having to say you're sorry. Just pivot and keep moving.

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

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…

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.
