When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

When you consider French and German soldiers were starting to revolt in the trenches against the officers during WW1 the rise of a disgruntled WW1 vet makes a decent amount of sense.

you don't need to purposely accomplish bad things for bad things to happen, you can simply need to screw up good things

and anarchists screw up good things very well

After a jury declined to indict the officers involved in the fatal chokehold of Eric Garner in Staten Island, the NYPD held a work “slowdown” for about seven weeks as political conflict between protesters, Mayor Bill de Blasio and the city’s police unions intensified.

Legally, police officers can’t strike. But they can “work-to-rule,” doing only the most necessary duties. They responded to calls only in pairs, left their squad cars only if they felt compelled, and did not perform certain proactive policing tactics, such as getting out of their vehicles to issue summonses or arrest people for petty crimes and misdemeanors..

The scientists found that civilian complaints of major crimes dropped by about 3% to 6% during the slowdown.
“The cessation of proactive policing corresponds roughly to the relative decline in crime that earlier research attributed to the effects of mass incarceration,”

inching towards the conclusion that busy-body cops ruining lives for petty crimes does not help society

Does anyone know if any of the existing apps that are meant to be for recording police interactions any good? I don't have social media except for Twitter to follow a few people. Would it actually be a good idea to get a snapchat or something like that? One of them is really good for live streaming right?

i don't really know much about the existing apps and who is behind their development. i'm looking at the existing apps now, just for functionality and ease of use. i already have youtube app on my phone. apparently you can't live stream unless you have at least 50 followers. you might also need to verify your account with a phone number, which could be a deal breaker for some. the mobile justice app from the aclu has mixed reviews. something about the video won't be reviewed without a corresponding incident report, and people having trouble connecting an incident report to their video.

If I'm murdered by police, it is irrelevant to me whether or not I get justice. Video evidence of the crime at last means there's more to go on than the cops word and his own mysteriously off or malfunctioning bodycam.

Kinda reminds me of one time a woman called emergency services here, freaked out because her violent, mentally ill ex-boyfriend against whom she had a restraining order was presently trying to break into her home with her in it. Said she was afraid he was going to kill her. Annoyed at her freaking out, the cop operator told her, "Yes yes, but then we'll send a hearse, right?".

I don't even think they were fired. Imagine that.

i feel like there are more than a few audio recordings of 911 operators being absolutely loving ghoulish. every instance is awful enough on it's own to be a crack ping every time.

Minneapolis police officer charged in crash that killed Leneal Frazier
https://www.kare11.com/article/news...d7-2048d346ee79

But yeah they totally staged a high speed chase so a cop could slam himself into another vehicle at 78 mph then be charged with manslaughter to get revenge for his niece testifying against Derek Chauvin, who other officers including the chief of police testified against. Police retribution happens but if you believe that's what happened here you are crazy.

until that charge results in a conviction it is completely reasonable to suspect police retaliation because it happens whenever possible. the competing theory, which is equally unflattering for america is that police vehicular homicides are just such a common occurrence that this had an unlikely but not ridiculously unlikely probability to happen

yeah, could be the latter. this happened here months ago. a cop here also had their third dui.
