1) @JohnsHopkins has CREATED the "crime problem" they seek to address via the private police. yes, @SenatorMcCray@MDSenate there is violent crime. but further plantation violence & neighborhood destabilization is NOT going to help! #NoPrivatePolice
. @JohnsHopkins had a DOCUMENTED $948,000 to spend on lobbying for private police in 2018 + 2019 *alone* (not including gifts to legislators and all it’s spent since) + can neither provide workers with equipment to do their jobs nor stop garnishing patient’s wages for med debt?
.@JohnsHopkins pouring millions into a private police force instead of addressing how inequity → violent crime (which they have DIRECTLY contributed to) is just...... SO lazy & insidious all at once. literally a whole colonialist ass endeavor
One of the many horrifying ways @JHUAPL has served US imperialism was their role in the Korean War genocide in which 20% of the Korean population was killed.
“APL went beyond missile development to integrating weapon systems and conducting operational evaluations in the field”
.@JohnsHopkins listen to your students, staff, & faculty. we do NOT want an """accountable""" private police force when you cannot even hold your campus security accountable. #NoHopkinsPolice

11) a dear friend and community leader told me, “Hopkins has displaced, gentrified, and ignored the community… What they’ve done is displacement, while pretending their concern is about the community.” so who was this “revitalization” really for?
