If any of us chased down and shot somebody *for wearing a hoodie* we would go down for manslaughter or murder. When the cops do it, they face no charges at all.

We spoke to @paulrgregoire.bsky.social from Sydney Criminal Lawyers about the horrific death of Colin Burling and why people experiencing mental health emergencies need healthcare, not police.

Pro-tip:

Next time you see a nazi rally, contact police and tell them you saw one of them carrying a sign with a 🍉 on it.

Then sit back and watch the carnage. 😉

If Chris Minns stubbed his toe, he'd say the answer is more police powers.

Cops aren't the solution to racism, they're the problem.

It's already a crime to incite hatred based on race, but the cops didn't care - in fact they approved the Form 1 for the rally!

ASIO's powers are being extended - what are these powers, and who has ASIO historically targeted?

A demarcation dispute b/w predatory ICE thugs and predatory non-ICE thugs is an ugly thing to witness eh.
New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.

In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:
FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves
In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

People sometimes suggest tranquiliser guns as a "less lethal" weapon for police. Our new article explains why that's a bad idea.

With police recently shooting rubber bullets at anti-racist protesters in Naarm/Melbourne, it's worth brushing up on the history and dangers of the weapon.

New article - police and unions!

Police and labour unions have a contradictory relationship. A key role of police has been to break strikes, harass and even kill union members. At the same time, in many jurisdictions police are highly unionised themselves.

The NSW Court of Appeal has asserted a new power to ban protests they don't like, threatening organisers of a pro-Palestine Sydney Opera House protest.

Here's the full judgement from Tuesday's strip-search case.
A bit that stood out to me was the cop who claimed Meredith said “I had a smoke with a joint this morning”, an odd phrase that she denies ever saying. The judge accepted that she didn't say that.

An interesting read - it's great that more people are shining a light on the use of these weapons in Australia.
