“You’re Not Going to Investigate a Federal Officer”

It doesn’t happen often, but local law enforcement can arrest and charge federal agents. Legal experts say there’s a moral obligation to at least try to hold federal immigration officers accountable when they violate the Constitution and the law.

ICE MURDERS PROTESTER

I swear, if vigilantes start hunting down and killing ICE agents, I wouldn't be surprised. I actually expect it now.

Strong agree on both counts, we need to #EndQualifiedImmunity with priority. Restrict overtime sounds like a stick, I was considering suggesting using it more as a carrot, but I'm not well informed on how its used.

I've told 6 different #Canadian cop detachments that the reason almost all citizens hate them is due to their ongoing #SystematicRacism, zero protection for whistle-blowers, giving raises to worst of the worst police brass, not challenging their corrupt union leaders & "just following orders" like fucking Hitler SS.

Don't defend fucking institutionalized cowards - with badges/guns - over defending innocent citizens killed/maimed by those same fucking cops/corporate mercenaries you tried to defend.

For those who care about 'good cops' - why the fuck are you not fighting, tooth n nail, for genuine public accountability & protections for the very few brave enough to be #police #WhistleBlowers?!?!?

Why aren't more BC/Canadian citizens angry as heck over the fact our governments gave BILLIONS to RCMP/RCMP CIRG to break the law & assault activists & protect industry over humanity? Because of fucking corporate lobbyists powers. MONEY & POWER - #Colonizers bent on capitalism - never really change their selfish & inhumane priorities/policies unless forced to.

Police in nearly *every city* report using more overall force against Black people than white people, with DC police reporting the largest disparities among big cities. Disparities in overall police use of force are even more extreme than what has been reported in limited studies. They actually admit to it mostly.

An officer handcuffed and placed Hill facedown on the street just outside the team’s stadium. Police also handcuffed Hill’s teammate Calais Campbell, who said he was trying to “deescalate” the situation. Both men are Black. After the players were released, Hill scored a touchdown to help the Dolphins win. During the touchdown celebration, a teammate pretended to handcuff him in the end zone.

“What If I Wasn’t Tyreek Hill?”: Miami Police Detain, Handcuff Football Stars Before NFL Game

Miami police have launched an investigation after officers stopped and detained Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill as he drove to Sunday’s game. An officer handcuffed and placed Hill facedown on the street just outside the team’s stadium. Police also handcuffed Hill’s teammate Calais Campbell, who said he was trying to “deescalate” the situation. Both men are Black. After the players were released, Hill scored a touchdown to help the Dolphins win. During the touchdown celebration, a teammate pretended to handcuff him in the end zone. Tyreek Hill spoke to reporters after the game. Tyreek Hill: “I still don’t know what happened. You know what I’m saying? But I do want to say — I do want to be able to use this platform to say, like, what if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill, bro? Like, worst-case scenario, you know, 'cause it's crazy.” One Miami police officer involved in the incident has been placed on administrative leave.

 Thoughts
Chicago taxpayers alone paid $164.3 million over the past five years to resolve lawsuits that named 200 police officers who were repeatedly accused of misconduct. When we tolerate a culture of a police state and ignore the need to enforce laws for law enforcement, we do so 'in the name of a police state'. No person above the law ?
The police state starts with police blindness in the leadership.
#Policereform is needed.

No Immunity For Cops Who Handcuffed A 10-Year-Old Girl Because She Drew Some ‘Violent’ Pictures

Putting cops in schools is never a good idea. The most likely result of bringing a cop indoors to police schools is that the officer(s) will, indeed, “police” the school. Things that us…
