It should be apparent to anyone taking notice that our govt(s) are becoming more intolerant of #FreeSpeech and #PeacefulProtest. The result of restrictive laws are readily seen in #PoliceViolence on the street, as if somehow these 'servants of the people' have caught the public order violence epidemic we see in the US.
Hannah Thomas is currently the most visible case in point. In her article she reminds us that the Minns govt is overreaching with freedoms restrictive legilsation and reminds us of NSW police #Brutality and #CoverUp.
Florida cops: "Ben Crump and Harry Daniels, attorneys for McNeil, said in a statement that the incident was a “disturbing reminder that even the most basic rights — like asking why you’ve been pulled over — can be met with violence for Black Americans.”"

Tag, yet again, under #PoliceViolence. This is why I don't trust the police.
They're not the right tool for welfare checks. They're not sufficiently trained in deescalation of any kind. They only know violence.
"In 2023, the city settled a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Lynch family for $3 million. However, for Lynch, the legal settlement is not the end of the pursuit of justice."
"Lynch has been waiting for the Virginia Beach Independent Citizens Review Board to take up his son's case, as promised."
All police murders get less media than they deserve. I like that the guardian is revisiting this one.
"Bijan’s death was, Kelly says, “not just a loss. It was an absolute catastrophe. An obliteration.” The family lost more than their son that day: “We lost our faith in our country, our government. We saw that nothing, absolutely nothing we had believed about our country was true. That the system we thought was there to protect us was now going to fight us to protect their own people and we would be the only ones calling for justice for Bijan.”"

the Kenyan government, under William Ruto, continues its long held policy of using the law against(as it was always designed to) citizens
the state is using the Terrorism Act to falsely accuse protestors and activists like Boniface Mwangi of acts of terrorism
the 'law' has never and will never be for the people
Trigger Warning for anyone who's been a victim of #policeviolence

Read Seattle APP’s response to the DOJ’s recommendation to sentence #BreonnaTaylor 's murderer to one day.
This ruling by the DOJ is a slap in the face to victims of police violence and is a sign of the increasing callousness of the Trump administration’s handling of police brutality. Both of which underpin the ever-growing need of an Affected Persons Program (APP).

The Kenyan government, under the orders of William Ruto, has been brutalizing, abducting and killing Kenyan citizens.

and there are countless others unaccounted for, deep in the dungeons of Kenyan police and prison cells, some dead and most brutally beaten and tortured, their whereabouts and fate unknown..
all under William Ruto's regime

this is why, in Kenya, resisting arrest is literally necessary because being killed while in police custody, by the police, is what is happening..
and all at the orders of the president, William Ruto
We deserve to live in a world where state-sanctioned violence no longer exists. Where traffic infractions do not turn into a life stolen. Where families aren't ripped apart because of a system that refuses to hold police officers and the harm they create in generations of communities accountable.
