A POLITICO analysis of #federal data & interviews w/a dozen #security, #extremism & #electricity experts revealed that despite a record surge in #attacks on the #grid nationwide, communication gaps between #LawEnforcement & #state & #federal #regulators have left many officials largely in the dark about the extent of the #threat. They have also hampered efforts to safeguard the #power network.

This fugitive saga must be so embarrassing for the various law enforcement agencies and police forces involved: Escaped murderer on the run in Pennsylvania has changed appearance and slipped out of search areas - Ten days and the authorities have not caught him. Is the guy that good? Or are the cops that bad? Here in #SouthernOregon the #Ashland police department still has not identified or detained the killer of a young man who was beheaded with a samurai sword in broad daylight in the city limits. That happened about ten years ago. Cops are good a showing up, and sometimes that’s good enough. But in many cases, what happens after they show up is no so good, effective or competent. #policing #Cops #LawEnforcement #Fail https://apnews.com/article/a729fb5d39251c2c1c336513e9f5a324

"even as a #trans #person myself im kind of lost about how to help with the general state of things… one good thing i found is that the trans #lifeline has a #hotline and some microgrant services and such for trans ppl, and their hotline service includes an explicit ban on any non-consensual emergency services calling so. its a good place to donate to or go to if you yourself need #help as a trans/nb person.

(from the faq)“Trans Lifeline has a policy against non-consensual active rescue, which means we will not call #emergency services or #lawenforcement without your explicit request – even if you tell us you or someone else is in danger. If you would like support requesting an ambulance or calling 911, we can assist you after informing you about that process and what may be triggered.”

they also have a survivor stories area about harms from hotlines that call emergency services on the caller and some stats on how it causes harm."

A #Pennsylvania #court says #statepolice can't hide how it monitors #socialmedia
Andrew Christy, a lawyer with the #ACLU of Pennsylvania, said the ruling "sort of puts #lawenforcement on the same playing field as all government agencies. If they have a legal justification to keep something secret, then they have to put forth sufficient evidence to justify that."
