Portland police finally admit they misled the public about a deadly attack on unarmed traffic safety volunteers, and a medic, before a 2022 BLM march at Normandale Park. Police wrongly said victims were "armed protesters" who had confronted a "homeowner" https://t.co/zjhvgvDsRl

@ipswichstar24 If all they are doing is making Inquiries about a stabbing, why are they carrying firearms and wearing face coverings?

That should not be standard.

Four years ago I was sitting up in the Senate press gallery above the Senate chamber listening to James Lankford protest Arizona's election results on CSPAN when the wise @pkcapitol, Gandalf of the Hill, barrelled past behind me, running, screaming, "THEY JUST TOOK PENCE OFF THE CHAIR!!"

'They' being Secret Service. And the 'chair' referring to the dais in the Senate chamber. Because it's always a good idea to follow PK, I immediately jumped up and ran downstairs behind him. Somehow I had the sense to start recording on the way down and happened on this scene, moments after the Senate was breached.

People still say I staged this. C'mon, if I was going to stage anything, I'd make sure and get my face in it

No officers are charged with a crime in 98% of all police killings. Of the 2% that remain, half are acquitted. Only 1% end up getting convicted, often because they committed unusually extreme and egregious acts of police murder. These are the cops he wants to give immunity.

"Lives found ended" = murdering babies.

🇵🇸 Israeli soldiers set fire to books in Gaza’s Aqsa University, posed in front of it, then posted the photo proudly to social media. Is this still ‘self defence’?

[Lauren McKenzie @TheMcKenziest]

This is a total nightmare. After the cop shot Mayor Adam’s neighbor from behind, they went into this man’s home, waited 10 mins to apply a tourniquet, then arrested HIM and the neighbor/pregnant woman who were trying to help him.

She later have birth to a still-born baby.

Cool fact, Nazis too, looted houses in places they occupied and paraded in women's clothes from which they looted

Aw, war crimes

PC Perry Lathwood has been found guilty of assaulting bus passenger Jocelyn Agyemang during a ticket check in Croydon.

Don’t allow Mark Rowley to bump his gums and tell us it’s unhelpful to film interactions with his institutionally racist Met Police.

Always film the police.

Brown university refused to drop the charges so the judge issued a not guilty filing for 41 anti-genocide student protestors who were accused of trespassing.

“I think this is a reflection of what nonviolent and peaceful resistance, frankly, is supposed to look like,” he said.

[America The Ghetto @Lizzurr]

This is a death march. It’s estimated that the average Palestinian is only eating ~230 calories per day. Rafah to Jabalia is 22 miles! If Palestinians do not die from bombs they’re at risk of dying from hunger, thirst, exhaustion and illness. This is unbelievably inhumane.

NYPD Assistant Chief James McCarthy is assisted after being affected by a chemical irritant. Video of the incident appears to show McCarthy deploy his pepper spray - possibly injuring himself.

A billion+ dollars in revenue in 2023 alone.

Yet @betterhelp paid less than $8 million in fines for victimizing their *entire customer base* for 4+ years.

In a just society with comprehensive privacy legislation, they'd face existential civil & criminal consequences.

A single therapist that did this would lose their livelihood and probably wind up with local news camped in front of their office.

A company does it to 800,000 people and you can't even hear the wrist slap from the next room.
