#ACAB Daily Digest (February 7, 2023)🧵: 6-frame comic. title frame reads "Cop shoots someone&qu
16,000 views, only 28 RTs. But I'm right. It's bad and inarguably wrong - and I won't stop saying it's wrong, why it's wrong, who it erases and the bad politics and misguided strategies it reveals in those who keep saying it anyway.
Alamogordo, NM | "Robert Gutierrez Jr., fled on foot. Authorities found Gutierrez at an abandoned house and they say at some point he was armed with a gun. Officials say an Alamogordo officer and OCSO deputy fired their weapons and struck Gutierrez." krqe.com/news/new-mexic…
UPDATE: #StopCopCity (Atlanta, GA) |
If you don't already know, I think you can safely assume a big part of Biden's SOTU tonight will be about reviving the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which is a police funding bill.
I can hardly imagine something more ghoulish, but that's Democrats for you.
Anyway. This is absolutely happening tonight. I have no doubt. They're bringing in the Nichols family. And Jayland Walker's family, now, too. Never seen anything telegraphed more plainly. politico.com/news/2023/02/0…
Glen Ford once sagely identified Barack Obama, not as the "lesser," but as "the more effective evil." Absolutely not surprised to see Joe Biden try to keep that legacy alive.
Is there an sicker fascist death cultists in the US than Democrats? I don't think there is.
I can hardly think of anything more cruel than gathering the families of prominent victims of police together as you and all your colleagues give a long, standing ovation to the massive police funding bill you're exploiting them to pass. Truly deranged shit.
Feds | "FBI agents described Windecker as something of a good Samaritan But that notion was undercut by other bureau documents, which detailed Windecker’s ... prior arrests in Colorado, Nevada, Texas, and Florida for crimes including sexual assault." theintercept.com/2023/02/07/fbi…

Today in #PigTech: Tactics - "Jump Out" boys (Washington, DC) |
UPDATE: Shreveport, LA | "detectives were unable to locate any weapons near or on Alonzo Sentell Bagley." news.yahoo.com/heres-know-shr…
Could've fucking told you.
Who am I kidding. I did tell you. Because they don't act cagey like this in *their media* if they have a weapon or any other remote justification at hand. They act like this when they execute an unarmed person for running away.
The City of Shreveport bringing Bagley's family in *real close* very quickly as containment and control is also a dead give away that this was an egregious, public summary execution. They just don't fucking do that.
Democrats can't gather the families of police victims for tonight's "let's give cops more money" shitshow fast enough, apparently. But we know that. Because there's *at least* three a fucking day in this hellhole.
Every fucking day, one worse than yesterday. And today, Biden is going to give cops more money. Fucking watch it happen.
Vallejo, CA |
Turns out I picked the right header image for today.
Occupied Palestine as proving ground for racist death squad tech & tactics later deployed by police worldwide.
Fucking hell. I hope this digest is worth it someday because I'm taking years off my life here. I can feel it.
UPDATE: Columbus, OH | Cop who did a brutality this weekend previously did a brutality. Unsurprising. That's their job. news.yahoo.com/columbus-polic…
Self-harm and in crisis, killed by police in Poplar Bluff, MO | "dispatched... for a man walking in the area with blood on him... he began hurting himself with the knife. They say he then charged at the officers, who fired their weapons" msn.com/en-us/news/cri…
"Someone might go hurt, so someone *must* get hurt" is the only police motto I've ever heard that makes any sense. (credit to @magikarp424, well said)
My god...
No words.
Just three more recent police murders to log, then I'm taking a break to steel myself for tonight's shitshow.
Alleged property crime to summary execution. Rantoul, IL | "officers were investigating a report of a stolen vehicle... when shots were fired.

Police and paramedics administered first aid to the suspect, who was taken to [the] hospital and died there." news-gazette.com/news/local/cou…
Christopher Osborne and Jason Harbin, both killed by police in Alabama in separate incidents (in Cherokee and Huntsville, respectively) this weekend | waaytv.com/news/a-look-at…
It is absolutely and only through the continued support of patrons and comrades that I'm able to sift through all this muck and try to consolidate it all here in digest form. Thanks! <3

And on that note, I'm going to take a walk, make myself something to eat and try to muster the strength to be absolutely mortified by the state of the union with all of you decent people.
UPDATE: Memphis, TN | This is who they are. Not five Memphis cops. Not "The Scorpions" unit. Not just The Memphis Police Department. All cops. Every single last one of them.

Fuck it. I'm on one, so let's fucking go...
This particular twitter account (OLAASM) came out of Occupy Los Angeles (That's the "OLA" in my screenname.) That may not have been my first organizing experience, but it was a pretty formative one for me and I'm proud of some of the shit I stirred there.
Apologies to the few hundred followers who already know all of this and have heard me explain this time and again before. But I'm going to connect it to something I've been obsessing over recently and hope it makes that obsession make more sense to you.

Took a walk. Ate food. Still fucking pissed off and the corpse king of fascist Amerikkka hasn't even started telling us how much money he is gonna give cops this time yet.
I am sorry to all these people about what is about to happen, even if they think it is good - and maybe especially if they do. Because tonight is going to be all bad.

Another trope you frequently see that is subtler copaganda is to push the fact that a cop was young or new as if it offers some mitigation for their brazen violence. But that just shows how close to formal TRAINING they were to me.
"Rookie cop"
or
"23 years old"

They're trying to say, "Oh, this wasn't a veteran cop, it was a rookie mistake." And they'll say they need "more training and money," but that young cop WAS JUST TRAINED.
The capsule says what they want you to know. The killer was "only 23." But what you should know, what you need to know, is that this public execution was over a "loud music complaint."

I have some questions for your ombudsman, you fucking hacks.

When I talk about the sophistication of copaganda, this is what I mean. The story is all about obliquely mentioning "tragedy" and "loss of life" and shows the city stepping up and embracing the family in their need, but they've buried crucial facts under all their bullshit.

"here's what you need to know" and the fact that Alonzo Bagley was UNARMED is buried 12 fucking paragraphs into the explainer. just amazing.
The Shreveport Times is some bullshit.
You would think that an update "what you must know" story on a police shooting in their city would encourage the hacks at The Shreveport Times to mention, if not in the headline - at least in the fucking lede - that Bagley was UNARMED. But no. You would be totally fucking wrong.
