β€œHey Commissioner, Stop Running Drug Dogs Through Pubs and Clubs”, Demand NSW Greens The NSW police commissioner claimed to have no idea about officers taking sniffer dogs through licensed venues when asked by Greens MLC Cate Faehrmann.

not only do gangs of cops stalk low income areas to victimise people living in poverty but gangs of cops abuse dogs by using drugs to train the poor creature in false indications based on cop β€œhandler” gestures. Fuck those guys.

Took Master E for a bike ride and he managed a stack on the way home. Have cobbled together a big bandaid from an old dressing and some surgical tape. On the plus side, a pile of old expired dressings, creams and tablets have been binned. Hanging on to a couple of prescription-only special items.

Between 39–51% of American Indian/Alaska Native peoples live on or within 10 miles of reservations, but 73% of deaths from police violence in this group occurred on or near reservations. The authors call for a public health response to these deaths. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/ziOi50YtsP8
