@Shamane95 bonsoir, j'ai pas de femme, ni d'enfant, et j'aspire à une société sans police car j'estime qu'en avoir une où des abrutis armés jusqu'aux dents, racistes et fachos qui n'ont pas pour objectif de protéger les gens, mais d'appliquer la loi et de maintenir l'ordre bourgeois, ben c'est assez triste. Car oui, ne vous méprenez pas, la police n'en a rien à foutre du peuple, au contraire, quand celui ci manifeste, il risque de perdre des yeux, des doigts ou sa liberté... Quand aux fafs, ils défilent trkl dans la rue, bien protégés avec leurs copains flicos. Alors ma société utopique que je prône, sans autorité, sans capitalisme, sans flics et sans armée, y'a que des gens de gauche ouvert.es d'esprit qui acceptent que même ne partageant pas mes idées, c'est possible. Et dans tous les cas, on combats les violences policières, les dérives fachos ensemble. Mes camarades veulent réformer, plus ou moins radicalement, et moi aussi, dans un premier temps, mais à terme je souhaite une société sans flics, car la criminalité n'est pas selon moi une fatalité, en tout cas un autre monde est possible.

“A Wholly Inaccurate Picture”: Reality Cop Show “The First 48” and the Wrongly Convicted Man

"Conviction Review Unit attorneys concluded that police and prosecutors became locked into a narrative they did not deviate from. In essence, the unit alleged, instead of the case shaping the show, the show shaped the case.

“They said, ‘We got the right guy. We got him,’ before they knew or really looked into the existence of Edgar’s alibi,” said Anna McGinn, an attorney for the Great North Innocence Project who represented Barrientos-Quintana. “It’s on TV. I mean, that’s problematic.”

Barrientos-Quintana’s exoneration may be the first in the country related to the “The First 48,” but it is not the first time the program has found itself embroiled in controversy, though not necessarily because of its conduct. In 2010, for instance, “The First 48” was filming when a Detroit police SWAT-style team raided an apartment and an officer shot and killed 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones. In Miami, a man featured on the show as the prime suspect in a 2009 double murder sat in jail for 19 months before the police finally determined he wasn’t responsible. In both cases, subsequent lawsuits accused the police of shoddy investigations and hasty decision-making in the service of creating good TV. Both cases ended in settlements — $8.25 million in Detroit — paid out by the cities, not “The First 48.”

“No one cared that my boy was killed, and the cops just rushed it for a damn show,” the father of one of the double murder victims told the Miami New Times."

This aside blew my mind🤯 :

"The cops were founded in 1829 in London essentially as a counterinsurgency force and that has been the model for cops ever since."

From the Colonial Outcasts podcast episode "US-Israel: Breaking down the political ties"

In the 🧵 thread below...

1. What's counterinsurgency?
2. What was happening in London leading up to 1829?
3. Who do police protect?
4. What other police forces fit this model?

While Lady Justice Carr heard the sentencing appeals of 16 peaceful climate protesters in the High Court last week, protests outside included this mass sit-down blocking Fleet Street for 90 minutes."
