So much for @wutrain campaigning on "dismantling the discriminatory gang database" and then @MayorWu giving BRIC millions of dollars in new funding?! The lies. #mapoli #bospoli #ErasetheDatabase #defundBRIC
After campaign promises to abolish BRIC and the gang database, @MayorWu wants to give BRIC the $850k to expand staffing that we successfully blocked 3 years ago...actually she wants to give them $850k times 3.
Excuse us.
The gang database is more like 97% people of color.
In fact, more than 75% of people targeted by this particular form of surveillance and harm are Black.

Q.: How useful is the gang database, given it's 75% people of color, and is said to be an easy list to get onto but nearly impossible to get off of?
Hayden: We do need a list, which has been helpful in safety planning, but we also need to tighten it, as has been done elsewhere...
Look at BRIC failing again. If only they'd stop stalking innocent black and brown people who are third cousins, twice removed, from a person who may or may not be part of a gang.
"The Gang Unit is in constant communication with the BRIC. Both organizations initiate information sharing and requests."

Dreaming of a day when we don't ransom people out of immigration prisons because they do not exist and people migrate with dignity+freedom. Until then, we celebrate paying a bond for an LGBTQ person coming to live in MA. #FreeThemAll #AbolishICE #DefundBosCops #DefundBRIC
Still fighting cops efforts to prevent reforms to qualified immunity. Also fighting to prevent the harm in the first place and #DefundBRIC read this great analysis by @lauren_marietta and see what Boston residents' tax dollars are being spent on... https://t.co/TpfDinX0N4
To take action – sign petitions, send written testimony urging @BOSCityCouncil to #DefundBRIC before Saturday morning! – check out at @MuslimJustice's new "Get the BRIC Out of Boston" toolkit:

so @ACLU_Mass got documents on the Boston Police Regional Intelligence Center (BRIC🧱) funding & spending, and there were some weird things in there.
for instance, did you know #BosCops are buying cameras to hide in vacuum cleaners?
