Bitter: Polizei hätte die Tat in #Hamburg verhindern können!
Täter besaß die Waffe legal. LKA bekam am 24.1.23 anonymen Hinweis und wurde konkret vor dem Täter gewarnt: Dieser sei psychisch erkrankt, habe großen Hass auf Zeugen Jehovas und seinen Wahn in einem Buch festgehalten.

Absolut grotesk: Bei Internetrecherche konnten Beamte das Buch nicht finden, obwohl dies u.a. bereits bei Amazon & auf Webseite des Täters öffentlich war. Polizeipräsident behauptet man hätte das Buch nicht recherchieren können, was Experten sogar bestätigt hätten.
Er schließt aber nicht aus, dass es irgendwelche Suchmaschinen gibt, die das Ergebnis vielleicht irgendwo auf Seite 700 angezeigt hätten. „Mitarbeiter der Waffenbehörde sind keine OSINT-Recherche Experten“. Man könne den Behörden keinen Vorwurf machen.

The promise of police in schools is to protect children, but it's a false promise esp. for kids of color—the majority of kids in public schools.
Police make school dangerous.
This isn't the 1st time & won't be the last until we #AbolishPolice in schools.

The abolitionists of the 1800s lost a big audience when they said the institution of chattel slavery couldn't be redeemed. Slave owners--many rich and powerful--felt alienated by the statement. It was polarizing. In fact, it led to war. #DefundPolice politico.com/news/2020/12/0…
It would have been more diplomatic to call for reform: To stop beating slaves, to not separate parents from children, but allow the institution's core--one pop. of people owning another--to continue unfettered. Perhaps they might have won more over to their cause. #DefundPolice
Black people are no longer (literal) property in this country because the abolitionist movement called for slavery's abolition. It took a war for that demand to become reality. But the institution ended because of the clarity of movement, and its radical vision. #DefundPolice
@SeattlePD viciously attacks a group of non violent protesters over "property damage" aka painting their likely illegal wall. SPD severely injures one protester and leaves them laying in the street for over 10 minutes without medical attention.

I'm hearing the victim is in critical condition. SPDs violence is disgusting and inexcusable, no one was being harmed until SPD showed up. Fuck @SeattlePD. You can see 5 cops pile on the unresponsive victim right after they attack

THREAD: I’m voting early for #BidenHarris2020.
Here’s why, against many of my core values, I’m doing so, why you should too if you’re able, AND why voting in this election is not revolutionary, and deeply insufficient:
Here’s why, against many of my core values, I’m doing so, why you should too if you’re able, AND why voting in this election is not revolutionary, and deeply insufficient:
I believe we need to use every tool we have at this moment. I believe a contested election gives us more fodder than one where Trump wins easily. I believe a racist establishment president is NOT BETTER but MORE NAVIGABLE than a fascist for of our most marginalized communities.
That being said, the idea that fascism can be voted away is dangerous, not only because fascism doesn’t care about the laws of democracy, but also because fascist movements that are mobilized at this moment will continue to be, regardless of how the election plays out.
The OPA just ruled that this was LAWFUL AND PROPER because the officer claimed he didn’t see the child. #seattleprotests #seattlepolice #AbolishPolice
Whether accidental or intentional, police should not be allowed to mace children in the face.
Period.
Period.
The OPA themselves even called the decision “unpalatable” but couldn’t be bothered to suggest any policy recommendations that would pretend to try to prevent this moving forward. Total complicity.
It's good that more ppl are aware of the overlap between law enforcement, vigilante militias, and white nationalist organizing, but I'm also disturbed by the discourse that one has "infiltrated" the other. They are the same. #DefundPolice #AbolishPolice theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The overlap between law enforcement and white nationalism isn't a recent event. One is inseparable from the other. If police departments evolved from slave patrols, then policing begins with the goal of white nationalism. #DefundPolice #AbolishPolice worxintheory.wordpress.com/2014/12/07/ori…
A cursory review of US history reveals this: Sundown towns, the birth of the KKK, race riots in which police watched white ppl to destroy neighborhoods of color. Policing and white nationalism have been bonded from their inception. #DefundPolice #AbolishPolice

Welcome back to #Fuck12Friday!! It’s 1pm (CP time) and we hope everybody is hype for the Black, Indigenous Solidarity Rally today at Buckingham Founta! facebook.com/events/5806116…
Wondering what Black, Indigenous solidarity has to do with the police? We got you...follow this thread! #Fuck12Friday
From the moment the colonizers set foot on the shores of Turtle Island, the struggles of Black and Native people have been linked. #Fuck12Friday
This is the argument police depts. nationally are relying on as demands to #DefundPolice mount: That cutting police depts. is a racial justice issues because it will disproportionately impact officers of color. #AbolishPolice #DefendBlackLife msn.com/en-us/news/us/…
It's the exact argument #LoriLightfoot made shamefully in the NYT weeks ago, insisting that jobs in the police dept. were one of the only paths to middle-classness for Black and brown Chicagoans. #DefundPolice #AbolishPolice #DefendBlackLife nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Forget the fact that this logic (which acknowledges that lower ranking and rookie officers are disproportionately Black and brown) is already admitting the structural racism inherent within police depts. #DefundPolice #AbolishPolice #DefendBlackLife
starting soon!
A large group marched from the contemporary museum, now were having a show case and projecting a documentary
Black lives matter, #AbolishPolice
We will still need to learn about and organize around defunding police in the fall. We will still need to learn about and organize around defunding police after November. We will still need to learn about and organize around defunding police in 2021. #DefundPolice #AbolishPolice
That there are so many new voices and bodies in this fight, that there are so many ready, excited, and energized around abolition, is so heartening. Let's not confuse urgency with running ourselves into the ground. #DefundPolice #AbolishPolice
Anyone who believes #LoriLightfoot has the economic interests of POC in mind is deliberately ignoring nearly all her policy stances.
We aren't fighting to achieve middle-classness. We are fighting to stay alive. #DefundCPD #AbolishPolice #GoodMorningLori nytimes.com/interactive/20…

In recent months alone, #LoriLightfoot has halted reparations for Black residents, allowed developers to poison #LittleVillage, pushed to reopen businesses before the end of #COVID19, implemented a racist curfew...and she dares talk about our economic interests? #GoodMorningLori
We are TIRED of telling you #LoriLightfoot is a bigot, a corporate puppet, and a champion of austerity and police murder, hiding behind her individual identities as a Black queer woman. If you voted for her, YOU need to come get her. #DefundCPD #AbolishPolice #GoodMorningLori
Wer aus #BlackLivesMatter und #AbolishPolice wegen einer "PolizeiGewalt ist Trash"-Persiflage
- die "Menschwürde" der Polizei ist unantastbar macht
- und die eigene Kolumnist_in öffentlich zum Abschuss freigibt
hat mehr als ein Solidaritätsproblem..

Früher hätte man bei den nächsten Toten durch Polizeigewalt übrigens gesagt "Springer hat mitgeschossen"
Jetzt muss man leider sagen, die "liberale" TAZ versucht aus Opportunismus einen notwendigen Diskurs zu erstickten und scheut dafür dafür keine Niederträchtigkeiten

Die Polizei abzuschaffen würde schlussendlich heißen Kapitalisismus abzuschaffen. Es würde heiße Grenzregime und Nationalstaaten abzuschaffen. Es würde heißen postkoloniale Ausbeutungsverhältnisse, von denen die Bevölkerung hier profitiert, zu beenden.
THREAD: For those struggling with the idea of abolishing the police, let's try and exercise:
Imagine if I created a machine that dropped dog poop on your head. That's its whole purpose.

Imagine I did this because the country had just abolished dropping dog poop on people's heads, and I was in my feelings about it because I wanted to keep dropping dog poop on your head specifically.
#DefundPolice #AbolishPolice

Now, imagine every time, over the course of 150 years, that my machine dropped dog poop on your head, I was like, "Oh no! How did we get here! Doesn't that dog poop machine have anything better to do with its time and resources?!"

So 1st sampling of data we are currently analyzing. Sorry, wish I had more time 2 do more but this is interesting even if it isn't as timely as I would prefer. This wordcloud is from the most pro-Kremlin of the #Hamilton68 accounts (mostly foreign) during the peak of #GeorgeFloyd
I was feeling deeply overwhelmed today, then had a good talk with @mayacriesalot. A reminder for myself and others:
- We saw some unprecedented wins in the last weeks, but this is still a longterm fight. We are not going to defund/abolish all policing this week, and that's okay.
- This moment is urgent, but it's also ongoing. We should be just as committed to learning about and advocating for police and prison abolition next week, next month, next year, as we are right now.
I was pulled over once because I was missing tags on my car (THEY'RE $$$!) in Beverly Hills. I told the cop I had already paid and was just waiting for them in the mail (true!) He was extremely aggressive, accused me of lying and only went away !!! WHEN I ASKED FOR HIS HELP !!!
He was absolutely a white supremacist meathead, and I started asking "Well do you know where the nearest DMV is? Do you know the website I can check on my tags?" and I've never seen someone BOLT away faster, useless murderers #DefundThePolice
My car is visibly shitty and he had been following me for blocks. I GET IT!!! I don't belong in Beverly Hills. #AbolishPolice
THREAD: Here are some chants I'd love to see retired, and alternative chants you can do in their place.

RETIRE: "No justice, no peace! No racist police!"
INSTEAD: "No justice, no peace, DEFUND the police," or "No justice no peace, ABOLISH police."
INSTEAD: "No justice, no peace, DEFUND the police," or "No justice no peace, ABOLISH police."
The first chant doesn't get to the heart of the issues being protested, and doesn't make a demand. Individual racists aren't the problem, it's a structure that is inherently racist being called into question.
So many corporations, companies, conglomerates are coming out "against racism" (which doesn't actually say or mean anything) because it's ECONOMICALLY necessary for them to do so in this moment. #BlackLivesMatter #TaxTheRich #AbolishPolice cnbc.com/2020/06/05/nfl…
This is to the credit of organizers and those in the streets, NOT to the credit of said corporations, companies, conglomerates. If we fail to keep up the pressure, I promise you they will all slink back into their bejeweled holes. #BlackLivesMatter #TaxTheRich #TaxTheRich
If saying #BlackLivesMatter is helping you sell more tickets/pairs of shoes/downloads/pints of ice cream, you're not saying it with Black lives in mind. #TaxTheRich #AbolishPolice
Update: Entire Buffalo police department emergency response team (57 officers) resigns to support the two officers fired for shoving this 75-year-old to the ground & leaving him bleeding from the head.
A sickening defence of police brutality.

Again, we see that the problem with US policing is not “a few bad apples”; it is a culture of systemic viciousness & impunity: cops are quick to use violence, especially (but not exclusively) against Black Americans, and cops know the system let’s them get away with murder.
So, it’s really no wonder that so many Americans are now saying #DefundPolice & #AbolishPolice instead of calling for bits-and-pieces reforms that will not do enough to stop systemic police brutality.
Here’s a long thread on the current discussion:
Here’s a long thread on the current discussion:
Y'all. @chicagosmayor, @ChiPublicHealth, and @HilcoGlobal are trying to demolish the final building of the Crawford coal plant TOMORROW AT 6:30AM AND I AM LIVID. #FueraHilco #HellNoHilco #ChicagoUprising blockclubchicago.org/2020/05/29/aft…
This is the 3RD demolition to take place during COVID-19 without notice or consent from the #LittleVillage community. Cases skyrocketed directly after the first demolition that left the neighborhood in cloud of debris. TOTALLY HEINOUS. #FueraHilco #HellNoHilco #ChicagoUprising
If you are attending any actions today or this week, please lift up the demand #FueraHilco alongside #DefundPolice. Black and Brown communities unite against environmental racism and state violence on the West Side and everywhere! #HellNoHilco #ChicagoUprising #AbolishPolice
