Why Cops Frequently Got Caught Planting Drugs in 2017 Look. All technology comes with a learning curve.

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked.

When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

It’s just not practical to expect the police to be responsible stewards in using this technology because they never have been.

THREAD. There's one proposal that would make a difference and that is popular across the population: if ICE or any other federal employee violates your constitutional rights, you should be able to sue them for damages without any immunity or other procedural technicalities that now make it harder.

“Fund the police,” they said.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

God is in the protest of the people... don't miss the divine clinging to the safety of order

Washington Informer Photographer Fatally Struck in Police Chase Near the White House Remembering Aaron Marckell Williams, a talented photographer known for his work with The Washington Informer, tragically killed in a car accident.

This is why no chase policies are important and it is important to point out the police regulalry violate them.

The Japanese maples are stunning this morning

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

A flock of 30 or more black vultures standing around on a little league baseball field.

What the heck! I took this photo while I was there. My son and I were curious why there were so many vultures on this baseball field. Now I have so many questions…

A large roadside sign that says, “Welcome to Scenic Saltville—salt capital of the confederacy.” A confederate flag sign is just below it

Thanks for posting this! I was just there learning about the Saltville Massacre. The museum is great. So much history in this area. I was disappointed to see this sign, and realize this is the only history some care about

Federal agents invaded even the offices of The Crisis and the National Association for the advancement of colored people and asked searching questions: " just what, after all, were our objects and activities?” I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, “We are seeking to have the constitution of the United states thoroughly and completely enforced.” It took some ingenuity, even for Southerners, to make treason out of that.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s:

"I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

“It is you, the Americans, by such bad deeds, who push the red men to do mischief. You do not want unity among the tribes, and you destroy it. You try to make differences between them. We, their leaders, wish them to unite and consider their land the common property of all, but you try to keep them from this.” — Tecumseh

How can we have confidence in the white people? When Jesus Christ came upon the earth, you killed him, the son of your own God, you nailed him up! You thought he was dead, but you were mistaken. And only after you thought you killed him did you worship him, and start killing those who would not worship him. What kind of a people is this for us to trust? Quote by Shawnee leader Tecumseh

Pre-Columbian North America was in many ways a more advanced society beyond what European settlers lived. The largest platform mound at Cahokia is as big as the Great Pyramid. These people perfected corn based agriculture while the English were sleeping with livestock & eating gruel.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

Former FBI special agent in the bio, volunteer to get literally fucking murdered with your friends in the skeets

Periodic reminder that Unite the Right in Cville was a gathering to rally around a monument of R E Lee erected during this era (1924).

we should stop letting the police departments in supposedly progressive cities use poor communities as policy labs for dangerous technology designed to incarcerate as many of those people as possible

woody guthrie would like a word

It breaks my heart…

U.S. Senator J... @SenFettermanPA Follow Unchecked extreme rhetoric, like labels as Hitler or fascist, will foment more extreme outcomes. ••• Political violence is always wrong—no exceptions.

Fetterman is a fascist and what he is claiming is fascist propaganda. This is a mass normalizing event meant to muddy the waters around the word fascism in an effort to neuter its effectiveness and give permission to their followers to embrace the label.
America is accelerating towards violence

A child on a bike looking towards the same intersection from the previous photo, except now the water has receded and been replaced by mud. Cars enter an intersection with no working traffic lights. A mud-soaked bale of cardboard from a recycling plant upstream sits in the middle. Now that the river water has gone, we can see that it was probably four or five feet deep here during the flooding

Same intersection two days later
