Government Loses Hard Drives It Was Supposed to Put ICE Detention Center Footage On A Kafkaesque saga in which the government has failed to produce critical video footage has reached new levels of absurdity.

Court battle over surveillance footage at the Broadview ICE detention center reaches new levels of kafkaesque absurdity: The DOJ claimed it *couldn't afford* hard drives to put video footage on. Plaintiffs bought THE US GOVERNMENT hard drives. ICE "lost" them.

seems notable that so many folks (rightfully) calling to abolish ICE now also consume and/or boost a lot of content declaring that the 2020 surge in the police abolition movement was, in retrospect, nothing more than β€œanarchists wanting to burn things down” (conservative propaganda).

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

'They're not out here to protect us. They never did that.' β€’ The TRiiBE TRiiBE reporter Matt Harvey details his eight-hour day on the ground at Saturday?s ?Day of Protest? in Chicago.

FROM 2020:

β€œThey’re out here in all this gear and blocking off people marching and [the protesters] haven’t even done anything yet,” one protester said about the police presence. β€œLike, they want people to act up.”

Add in "try and pass a contentious statement of values instead of a transforming a process, thereby sucking away all the energy on that topic to do something useful like divestment or having consequences for actions"

Can someone make a flow chart of like 'law enforcement murders someone' --> 'Progressive electeds perform rhetoric about how it was bad' --> 'progressive electeds send in their own local law enforcement to do crowd control at protests' OR 'don't use their power to prevent future murders'

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

Another year another bond ordinance passed to pay $164M police misconduct settlements & no progressives saying this is bad form to pay principal and interest on police crimes instead of it coming from their departmental budgets. But we wanna yell for hours about $100M head tax! Woo

Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force.

Turns out police superintendents CAN order their officers to intervene in unlawful immigration detentions.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.
