> On May 13th, 1985 the #Philadelphia Police Department dropped a bomb on the home of #MOVE, a #Black-led back-to-nature group in #WestPhiladelphia. The #bomb and its fiery aftermath killed 11 people including 6 children. It destroyed 61 homes and left 250 people homeless. 
Reporter Linn Washington has covered MOVE for more than 50 years. He weaves us through the tangled story of a cult-like leader, desperate neighbors, brutal #cops, and a city torn apart

It's already been an authoritarian police state. Some of us just had the privilege to ignore what happens to the people the cops trample with impunity.

#Tasers & Excited Delirium

#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.

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.
#Jenfeld das heiße Pflaster

#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.

Protect & Serve Or Potty Police?

"#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.

From the N S Sherlock Research Institute : new study shows once again that Driving While Black is a real thing.
