Police and Welfare checks:
“In their darkest moments, too many Australians are being met with lethal force instead of love and care.”

I agree with pretty much everything … but the conclusion.
Police should be the first responders. What we are seeing is the failure of a militarised Police force and providing Police Executives, Police Union and Ministers an excuse/escape instead of making them admit failure and reforming the Police force.

🤯 A radical proposal: 🚨 The #MetPolice chief calls for the creation of "mega forces" across England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 in a major policing shake-up❗

🤷🏻‍♂️ Will it improve public safety❓

Hello! You can call me mystic or resilient. I slowly migrated from #Twitter as of today but I will still be active on Twitter. I'll just have both accounts and go back & forth from each platform. I use my socials as an anonymous outlet & for support because support is not available or there in my personal life. I mask 24/7 and people who think they may know me, do not know me at all.

I'm extremely introverted. People think I'm extroverted but I'm really not. I'm socially awkward and it's painfully excruciating to even make eye contact. It feels like my eyes are drilling into someone else's soul if that even makes sense. I'm also very random. I can be hyper at times.

Anyways, I was diagnosed in my early 20's with #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder, #Anxiety, #Depression, & #CPTSD. I'm still waiting to get assessed for #ADHD and I'm slowly embracing my neurodivergency. I had no idea what being #Neurodivergent was until recently and I started reading and following a bunch of other Neurodivergent users.

I've never really felt accepted anywhere but in the neurodivergent community and it feels like family to me. It feels like I belong.

While growing up, I have had doctors tell me that i have #OppositionalDefiantDisorder and #SensoryProcessingDisorder - There has never actually been a diagnosis. There should have been. Professionals do not really take me seriously. It's because I'm able to mask and function normally. But people don't see how easily frustrated I can get. It's there. So is the anger. It's just hidden.

The recent rash of incidents that have come to light probably only scratch the surface of the true number of assaults that have been committed by police in this country.

If this video is representative of normal police encounters between officers and Black people, I can see why they choose to flee rather than surrender. I would also flee if I thought the officers who are charged with protecting and serving me wanted to beat and denigrate me.

When is the United States get to the realization that police in the United States are systematically killing Black people? Way too many people still deny it. #PolicingReform #JusticeForRonaldGreene
