A judge in Michigan dismissed the charges against 2 wardens and 4 prison nurses for letting an incarcerated man die in 2019. Jonathan Lancaster, 38, died in solitary confinement after he lost 50 pounds in 15 days. He was put in restraints and was found in his own feces and urine.

Do you understand how bad the video has to be for them to hide behind the GBI like this?

Solidarity with those in the streets of Philadelphia. Fuck the pigs.

Justice for Eddie Irizarry

The Mayor of San Francisco is one of the best modern examples of how much harm can be done by a politician who has no principles, but who is willing to put the smiling face of identity politics on top of a far-right agenda designed to destroy marginalized people.

Prisoners in Alabama are forced to work for zero pay.

THREAD. One of the biggest distractions for liberals with respect to every bad government bureaucracy is the illusion that more "training" will solve problems. Police, prosecutors, prison guards, and judges don't break the law and do bad things because they are poorly trained.

[Reveal @reveal]

In a groundbreaking investigation, Reveal uncovers an alarming pattern: people who report a sexual assault to police end up facing criminal charges when the police don’t believe them.

Our first-of-its-kind investigation unveils the shocking findings. 🧵

“The entire concept basically means private policing of public streets” is what some of us have been pointing out since the 2019 General Assembly session.

What Johns Hopkins University wanted, and what it got, was an off-campus police force in Baltimore City.

Let that sink in.

[Joan L Floyd @BmoreZones]

Oh boy! Johns Hopkins University has drafted a policy for its private police officers’ conduct of Warrantless Searches. Can you dig it?

[Scalawag @scalawagmag]

Police do not keep us safe.
Pass it on.

A cop in Baltimore was charged with theft and misconduct after being caught on camera stealing an envelope of cash from a business.

Eric Payton, 46, was suspended without pay.

I think I speak for everyone when I say I hope that video gets leaked to the public.

[Atlanta Community Press Collective @atlanta_press]

In today’s Public Safety committee meeting, the city of Atlanta Department of Law informed the committee that the body camera video footage of officer Kieran Kimbrough killing deacon Johnny Hollman will not be released.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

1 in 10 people in state prison today was homeless before turning 18.

1 in 5 was in public housing before 18.

1 in 5 was in foster care.

The U.S continues to allow kids to grow up in poverty - and then end up in prison.

A cop in Seattle has been placed on leave after hurling racist slurs and derogatory comments toward his Asian neighbors. This story comes a week after the VP of the Seattle police union went viral for saying that an Indian woman who was killed by police "had limited value."

WARNING: GRAPHIC ⚠️ A police officer in Pennsylvania assaulted a woman he had an intimate relationship with and then had her involuntarily committed for several days.

Ronald Davis, 37, has been charged with felony strangulation, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, and more.

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

If a cop victim-blames a child, it needs more than an apology. It needs terminations.

[Ryan Shead @RyanShead]

Pennsylvania State Trooper Ronald Davis, 37, is facing multiple charges after wrongfully serving a woman he knew with an involuntary mental health commitment.

This is our worst nightmare, someone using our mental health against us.

Simple question: Are you ok after watching this?
