#Tasers & Excited Delirium
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Yd9nLQx3qQ
#JohnOliver discusses whether Tasers are as safe and effective as the company that makes them claims, the broader effect Tasers have had on #policing, and why you shouldn’t test Tasers out on any of your family members. You’d think that goes without saying, but clearly it doesn’t.
That video of an Autistic 17 year old getting shot on the news really upset me a couple of days ago. I was pissed about it for hours, and it made it almost impossible for me to fall asleep. It is sickening that that could happen. Those officers were clearly trigger-happy, as you don't just fire 9 bullets at someone within seconds of arriving. I hope all of the officers involved are fired, and imprisoned. They misassessed the situation, but that doesn't justify the bullet barrage. We need a new series of protests, similar to that of George Floyd. Killing children is not okay. and he was behind a fence.

@ProPublica The worst part is there are so many ignorant #Americans including #cops who think this is reality. They have no clue about the science or technology behind the cases.

(In all fairness I own several guns, including ARs, Semi-Auto Pistols, revolver and a shotgun)
Big man, had to go and get a #gun to “defend” himself against an #unarmed person.
I’m sorry, but if you get your nose hurt because you get out of the car and #escalate, don’t be surprised if you get hit.
Also, that’s not an excuse for self defense.
The #shitty #southern #cops picked the wrong side.
If you at a protest or in public in general, pay attention to what people are wearing. If you see the things indicated in this picture on someone nearby, loudly warn everyone you know. It’s an undercover law enforcement spy. #narcs #cops #pigs #gestapo #protests #selfdefense #punchanazi #usa
Morgen gibt's #OberligaHamburg #auswärtsfahrt
#altona93 (#SayUhAhAltona!) ist zu Gast bei #ConcordiaHamburg!
Um 19 Uhr ist Anpfiff.
Bin mal gespannt, wie es läuft, nachdem wir 3 Spiele etwas geschwächelt haben. (Ja, #jammernaufhohemniveau - aber logisch, wenn 4/5 der Mannschaft #RamadanFasten! Respekt deshalb! Trotzdem!)
Jedenfalls bin ich noch viel mehr gespannt, ob es diesmal auch wieder ein beachtliches Aufgebot an Staatsmacht aka #cops gibt. Warum auch immer.

#Cops Tracked An Alleged Tesla Arsonist Using The Suspect’s #Car #WiFi
Cops used tower dumps to track not only suspect’s phone but also #vehicle. Detectives asked Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T to send information on all connecting devices to six relevant towers. They saw a Verizon BlueLink onboard Wi-Fi system had pinged two of the towers. According to a complaint against the eventual suspect investigators believe the BlueLink was inside his Hyundai.

#American shakedown: #Police won't charge you, but they'll grab your #money

"#US police are operating a co-ordinated scheme to seize as much of the public’s cash as they can"
"[...] in the eyes of thousands of cash-hungry #cops you’re a rolling ATM."
The article ends with some travel advice.
My advice: avoid the USA if you're not located there for a couple of decades.
@TucsonSentinel Suing #cops and towns for violating the law brings a smile to my face. I hope the judgement strips the cops of their pensions.
@ProPublica #Cops can't be trusted in any way, shape or form. Every cop must have their body cam video and audio enabled at all times, even in the bathroom. Every cop must keep their firearms unloaded and stored in a lock box in the trunk. Every cop convicted of violations of law must forfeit their pensions. Every cop cannot be trusted, ever.
Arresting officers realize they can lie to secure confessions. Senior officers know they can exaggerate to lobby for bigger budgets. For some, a form of “noble cause corruption” is at play—a sense that any means will justify the ends of securing social order and making sure the bad guys go to jail.

#Cops #AboveTheLaw #Lying #Police
This is also why they are in support of #ABA, #conversion therapy, denying #trans kids #puberty blockers, putting #cops in #school, destroying the #education system, refusing to pay for #schoollunches, #wars & #genocides that kill swathes of #children overseas, those "troubled #teen" camps & #child marriage.
