There is absolutely no excuse for the building of cop city. They are stealing land and money from the people for the sole purpose training domestic military control of the people. Money and power for the rich and coercive. Ripping up any bit of needed natural space in the process.

Ottawa’s Police Board is Facing a Constitutional Challenge Over ‘Strict’ Rules Limiting Speakers at Public Meetings

Changes, which were approved in February, require speakers to submit comments in writing for the police board to review and approve in advance of each police board meeting.

Speakers may only speak on pre-approved topics and are forbidden from speaking “disrespectfully” about Ottawa Police and police board members.

Police unaccountability, lopsided interference in public policy:

"Watching cyclists get petty tickets in High Park for rolling stops might be cold comfort for car theft victims.

"Or knowing that upwards of $5 million is being spent on a mounted police unit that’s largely a public relations outfit.

"Or the $337,000 it spends producing a podcast. This list goes on.

I'd love it if people who want to argue against #AbolishThePolice would at least bother to try to understand what the people who think this think and what they want.

A pregnant woman who was Black was falsely accused of *shoplifting* and then executed for it in public and in America that's a day ending in Y.

Yet so many well intentioned liberals can't even bother to acknowledge the loss of life AND terror that instills before screaming their uninformed responses.

Every thing about Ta'Kiya Young's death is an example of why we must rethink law enforcement and public safety. The American #police system isn't broken, it's working as intended and that intention always was to protect property of the wealthy and to control, through terror, Black people.

Remember the stupid Titan sub? It imploded because it wasn't a sphere. There were no fixes that would have saved it. It was a bad design. Same here. #AbolishThePolice

No criminal record for violent assault. Still has her job as a cop.

Let's hope this judge is as understanding about anyone else he sentences.

Bei @copwatch_le findet ihr einen älteren Thread zum autoritären Charakter der #Polizei.

Dort heißt es: "Bei der symbolischen Blockade des Flughafens LEJ (Halle/Leipzig) im Juli 2021 gab es einen Polizeieinsatz, der mit einer offensichtlichen Missachtung des Versammlungsrechts begann, sich mit falschen Darstellung in Pressemitteilungen zu rechtfertigen versuchte und mit langem Gewahrsam für junge Klimaaktivist:innen endete, wobei auch Handlungen vorgenommen wurden, die als Folter bezeichnet werden können."

Dieses Vorgehen fand sich fast 1 zu 1 beim Leipziger Kessel wieder. Ebenso die #Straffreiheit für Polizist*innen. Nix gelernt also, vmtl aber auch zu viel erwartet von CDU-Innenministern
