An article, implicitly about the absolute failure of existing "duty to intervene" policies, itself becomes a call for *more cops.*
"the police department has a supervisor shortage and called the lack of a supervisor at the incident “a major problem.” apnews.com/article/tyre-n…

The sophistication of #copaganda is breathtaking. Even an article about how "duty to intervene" policies have existed since Rodney King and existed in both Minneapolis and Memphis before high-profile police killings ends with a call for more cops. It's amazing.

Vague "confrontation." Shreveport, LA | "On Feb. 3, Alonzo Sentell Bagley, 43, died at Ochsner LSU Health around 11:30 p.m. following a confrontation with a Shreveport Police officer." news.yahoo.com/shreveport-cit…

Wellness check in Easton, MA | "Police received a 911 call at 11:30 a.m. from an Ashland resident who was requesting a well-being check for his mother, Marianne Griffiths, 56." She allegedly had a toy gun when they executed her. msn.com/en-us/news/cri…
Colorado Springs, CO | "The man reportedly pointed a gun at officers, and at least one officer fired at the man. Despite lifesaving attempts, the man died at the scene." koaa.com/news/covering-… #CopsLie
Cherokee, AL | "The welfare check allegedly involved a person “being held against their will”, according to Cherokee Police Department. When officers arrived, the CPD says they got into a fight with the suspect, and the suspect reportedly presented a gun" whnt.com/video/cherokee…
They eventually came up with "toy bb gun," but any time they are at all cagey about *what* their victim was "armed" with, we should be on our toes.

If 2/3rds of your net worth do not exceed $703,717, I don't ever want to hear you say police are poor or underpaid ever again (I don't otherwise care about this fucking fascist's fascist ex-wife, but the two doing a tax evasion is entirely unsurprising.) dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
(I realize she worked, too, and that's marital property, but a cop and his wife having $1M in assets at fortysomething doesn't strike me as people particularly aggrieved over compensation.)
Obviously, police aren't the richest people in the US, but they are very well compensated for their job brutalizing us.

Paterson, NJ | "Jerry Moravek, never told the man, Khalif Cooper, to stop running before firing his weapon, according to video from a body-worn camera. Mr. Cooper, then 28, was shot in the back as he ran, leaving him with a disabling spinal injury." nytimes.com/2023/02/06/nyr…

Kenya | "The killings caused uproar in Kenya where cases of extrajudicial killings are rife, with some organisations reporting 127 cases of police killings and 25 enforced disappearances in 2022 alone." theguardian.com/global-develop…
The cop killed a lawyer, his client and their taxi driver to "destroy evidence" (literally people) who had filed a complaint.
“The [murder] was to destroy evidence by destroying the complainant, which was not only drastic but draconian and extreme action to take,” said Lessit.

Morgantown, WV | Police, with many known domestic abusers in their ranks, get their media partners to explain that the person they manhandled in a viral video was accused of domestic violence in order to justify themselves and smear their victim. wboy.com/news/monongali…
the audacity. fuck an abuser, but the police are being a lil bit cynical here given who the fuck they are, i think.
NYC, NY #NYPD | "More than 600, or 43%, of misconduct allegations were closed after officers could not be identified, raising a big obstacle in the board's review, the report said." reuters.com/world/us/new-y…
Whenever you see cops covering their badges or otherwise making themselves unidentifiable, you should know you're about to catch a beating (at the very least). And anytime reporters see this, as they did often in 2020, they should make that reasoning very plain.
3 months for witness intimidation, lying on official police reports and destroying evidence. That's it. Caldwell, ID | justice.gov/usao-id/pr/for…
alright. that's all the vile police bullshit i can stomach for one day. <3
