Glad my home city of Sacramento is going from strength to strength

i'm listening to the sound of a women screaming like her child is dead (which, who knows, they could very well be) and seeing the sight of police impassively ignoring her, and then leaving. i am going to close the stream now, but it won't matter, because i will still hear her and still see them for, conservatively, the next four months.

here's a much more fun stream from the white house lawn: https://www.pscp.tv/FordFischer/1ZkKzLYeVwgJv

that hurts to see.

when anyone tries to pull people out of your group like this, lock your arms around your friend's waist, pull them back out of reach, and optionqlly then run with them through the crowd. tug-of-war is a game that should be much easier for the side with more people.

US laws state, by and large, "if a reasonable person would be in fear for their life or great bodily injury under the same circumstances, or to save a third person from death or great bodily injury," deadly force is authorized.

That’s the standard for self defense. If someone killed a Nazi in similar circumstances, they’d be right to invoke it.

Zimmerman is a colossal piece of poo poo who should have been convicted. That’s a Florida problem, not one with how the basis of self defense laws are founded.

the problem with zimmerman claiming self defense is that he created the danger he claims to have been in. the same thing is true of police.

i am not making a broader argument against fatal self-defense, only about cops; zimmerman was acquitted and lauded by people who recognized he was doing cop work.

Cops should have a higher bar for their ROI than “they were coming right at us”

exactly this. how much money is spent on their equipment and training? how much praise do they demand for how they "put their lives at risk" to "keep people safe?"

As a former LEO, I've watched this a few times, and I can't come away from it with anything but indifference. The heavy handedness, the attacking peaceful protesters, journalists... they've honestly brought this on themselves, and it honestly goes to show how much restraint people have that this hasn't happened more.

wow.

when i watched it, it sent me into an absolute spiral imagining what might happen to my friends or people just like them over the next few days. i felt sick. my entire body tensed up. i cut myself off from the internet and watched the sunset drinking bourbon.

since then i saw a different video, much worse, from new york. and i realized things were inevitably going to escalate to at least this level: nationwide conflicts were going to have some police casualties, and those are going to motivate worse and more immediate violence.

sfpd did not ask me any questions. actually one of them said "i just want you to know, i think you're doing the right thing" and I was like WOW, WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME, THANKS FOR THE SOLIDARITY.

but the mayor did cancel our curfew order this morning, and since nobody else protested it last night i give the two dozen or so of us partial credit. she's keeping it in place one more day so the police can disperse a big protest today. we'll see what happens.

The purpose of racial heirarchies is to decrease labor power, the purpose of police is to defend capital by (among a few other things) perpetuating and projecting those hierarchies into our communities, and reducing their funding is now the compromise position.

Horses oscillate from surprisingly clever to the base prey response of "OH GOD A PREDATOR RUN AWAY AT MAX SPEED" which its a bit of a problem when they're trying to do that in their stall and are startled by something that happens every day.

this is why police horses are trained to feel comfortable with crowd and city noises.

i have heard that they still freak out from offal and predator urine though. also they can be as calm and well-trained as they like, but marbles spread on the street will still gently caress them up.

BIG HEADLINE posted:

If/when the bottom truly drops out of the economy in the next few months and we lapse into a bad recession or global depression, law enforcement agencies (at local, state, and federal level) are going to be enfranchised with even more power and authority, both official and unofficial. They'll have job security and social/societal leverage over an even more vulnerable than usual populace. Dirty cops love economic downturns, because it makes it way easier (and lucrative) for them to do business. This :jerkbag: ~disrespect~ :jerkbag: is threatening/undermining their image going into that period.

They're practicing and looking to find out where the absolute lines/limits are. They're assuming this'll have no more gas than the Occupy movement had, and that Americans will get bored and gently caress off when it starts hitting 90-100F+ routinely in what is likely going to be the hottest summer on record.

Make no mistake, Biden's camp is watching, too. If the American people get lazy and complacent and let this momentum falter, we're well and truly hosed, because he's no friend of equality and justice, and he knows where the lines are now in the presidency thanks to Trump.

a boiling hot summer might not cause tensions between the occupiers and the occupied to dry up like a raisin in the sun, but instead explode.

a protestor died today in Bakersfield after being run over by a white nationalist domestic abuser. now i know what you're thinking, but no, he was not a cop! he was just defended and released uncited by the cops. footage shows them all hanging out, having a smoke, while the protestor (yeah, a black guy, good guess) is still under the carlying on the road crying for help (e: i am the lying fake news). because they know that the driver was doing their work, and they hope to encourage other people to take the same matter into their hands.

stories like that, besides leaving me emotionally wrecked an hour at a time, also make me suspect people will keep having things to be angry about. unless all news outlets refuse to report on them AND tiktok gets shut down.
