This gal tore apart #LAPD at a public forum for running a youth mentoring programme despite a history of theft, murder, & state terror against residents of #LosAngeles. Until this country cleans up its act, pretending cops are a good rôle model is like defending the #HitlerYouth.
A history of 50 years of research reveals what makes a protest safe for participants and police alike. The findings show that police response is what makes the biggest difference: de-escalating and building trust supports peaceful demonstrations rather than responding with weapons and riot gear.

Research Shows Peaceful Protest Depends On Police Behavior

Fifty years of research suggests police behavior makes the biggest difference in how safe protests are for everyone.

@mmalc And there's already a federal law in place about doxxing law enforcement as an intimidation tactic, so win-win.

Suggestion:

#California should immediately enact legislation to require that anyone acting in a law-enforcement capacity have their face fully visible (i.e. no masks, gaiters) and must provide proper identification upon request.

There is otherwise too much risk of people impersonating agents to take advantage of others. And, of course, if the agent isn't doing anything wrong, they shouldn't have to worry about being identified…

A protest guide from #MEAction for folks with ME/CFS, Long Covid, and other chronic illnesses that cause limited energy:

"We hope this guide can help activism become more intersectional and enable those attending events to do so as safely as possible."

What I Saw in LA Wasn’t an Insurrection. It Was a Police Riot.

As Trump mobilizes the marines to quell an “insurrection” in LA, it’s essential to be clear about how the protests started and what actually happened.

The GI Rights Hotline (877-447-4487) is ringing off the hook with military folk objecting to being deployed against US citizens.

"Normally, the hotline receives 300 to 500 calls a month... But on Saturday, calls were coming every three minutes. On Sunday, every minute."

Now is very much the time to stand united and hit the streets. This is the chance to break #Trump before he fully consolidates power. We have momentum, and the majority.

Trumps goal is never the truth it's to have TV footage that excites him. (And as a side effect excites other people who share his vortex of hate.)

We need ways to fight against his war on reality too.
