I wonder if carrying a weapon half his size makes him feel bigger and stronger. Fuckface.

Currently sorting footage for our (Orange Hats') statement on Saturday's police brutality. Having a bunch of anarchists work to a collective goal is a trip sometimes.

No. Always.
Let's see if we can get this out tomorrow. We lost a day due to being up until ass o'clock because cops are petty motherfuckers who don't like being challenged and this is why they have to go. ALL of them.

More on that (hopefully) in the statement (if we can ever finally agree on it).

Tout le monde m'a dit que la police en France n'est pas comme aux É.U. mais c'est faux. Comme aux É.U., elle ne se soucie que de la propriété, pas de la santé des habitants. #fuckthepolice

> A former #cop in the #UnitedKingdom was sentenced to five and a half years in prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to covering up his theft of 50 #bitcoin seized during an investigation into the now-defunct illicit #darkweb marketplace #SilkRoad.

Prison is gonna SUCK for this pig!

“Abolition, as a tradition, a philosophy, and a theory of change, moves away from a myopic focus on the prison toward a more expansive vision of the social, political, and economic processes that defined the context within which imprisonment came to be viewed as the legitimate hand of justice. As a “practical organizing tool and long-term goal”, abolition is a political vision with the goal of eliminating imprisonment, policing, and surveillance and creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment. As illustrated by the history of the prison and the police, reforms sold as “progressive” all too often function to mask expanding mandates, logics, and budget lines. Abolitionist movements require struggles about strategy and vision: what, for example are the “non-reformist reforms” (to use a phrase coined by Marxist theorist Andre Gorz and applied by Thomas Mathiesen in his Politics of Abolition) that make sustainable and material differences in the lives of people living under the control of oppressive systems?”

Continued thread

It's hard to determine whether you're just being overly cautious or if the cops are actually actively surveilling you as you eat dinner when you look up and they dip ungracefully behind a building.

This may not be the most interesting part of my day, dipshit. But you can watch me eat this delicious sandwich if you want.

I think they're mad that we're teaching CopWatch to kids, starting next month. All that PR with cops in schools about to go down the toilet.

Also: they may have figured out there's one more action today, but not where. Feeling spiteful and I may just take them on a tour of the city.

(Not posting the weird video because: stalkers.)

Following Yvette Cooper's diktat this week, I'm unable to give my thoughts on these protesters and their stance.

However for anyone not anti-police - "The group [REDACTED] is now proscribed and expressing support for them is a criminal offence."

Maybe your cause, or even personal identity, will fit into that statement next - and all cops won't give a fuck what or who is rounded up once the order is given.
