it’s just impossible to exaggerate how dramatically and reflexively cops lie
The boy on the left is 17-year old Hunter Brittain. On Wednesday a sheriff in Arkansas pulled him over. When his truck wouldn’t go into park he got out to put something behind his tires, to stop the truck from hitting the cop's car. The cop suddenly opened fire and killed him.

last night richmond police violently snatched a young black woman organizer off the streets, held her in the precinct as a bargaining chip to disband the protest, and is currently incarcerating her w/o bond on trumped-up felony charges. no reform can be sufficient—only abolition.

So close! You actually tear gassed and mass-arrested the people who removed the Confederate monuments from our city
As Mayor of Richmond, I removed all Confederate monuments from our city, and made sure our city is no longer known as the Capital of the Confederacy.
We must continue this progress across our Commonwealth. It’s why I am running for Governor.

110% not reading the replies bc they’re probably trash but: Israel kills Palestinians indiscriminately, forcibly displacing Palestinians is a literal condition of Israel’s existence, and the legal discrimination Palestians face amounts to an apartheid. How can you celebrate that?

For the record, if there’s a large crowd forming to block a bus that’s carrying arrested protestors, I do not think that organizers should ask that crowd to disperse. If we don’t start making ourselves less easily arrestable, things are not going to go how we want/need them to.

60+ cops mobilizing to terrorize GWAR Bar patrons bc of a nonexistent threat to kim gray’s property when the night before, a child was shot and killed a few blocks away in gilpin. there’s no debate: cops protect the comfort of the powerful, not the safety of everyone else.

skepticism of police accounts is extra important when their claim is as drastic and politically expedient as “we stopped a mass shooting,” especially when none of the charges reflect that narrative and the “active investigation” didn’t even trigger increased event security
Richmond Police Chief Gerald Smith says that RPD worked off a tip to stop a mass shooting that was being planned for the Dogwood Dell firework show on July 4.

assaulting an officer is probably the biggest bullshit charge in the books—definitely the most nakedly fascist—but house democrats voted to keep its attached mandatory minimum bc they don’t even care about reducing police violence, let alone ending it!
The Virginia House of Delegates rejected a bill on Tuesday that would have scrapped a six-month minimum sentence for assaulting police officers.

that MLWGS structurally excludes Black and Latino students should be immediately obvious to every past and present student, but the deeper point is that this will ALWAYS be the case with “gifted schools.” it’s an inherently inequitable model. don’t tweak it—destroy it.
A school board chairman said this in response to a lack of Black and Latino students in gifted programs:
“I think it might change our vision, mission, or our uniqueness if we try to look like a general public school. We’re not. This is a gifted school.”

absolutely fire chief smith and force mayor stoney to resign, but know that whoever replaces them will also facilitate police violence. the problem isn’t individual actors, it’s the system of policing itself—which means that the goal needs to be abolition, not accountability.

something like 35 ppl have been arrested, the bail fund has received over a dozen confirmed names, and the cops are blockading the jail to prevent us from getting more info / posting bails. in case you needed a reminder that cops and jails are fundamentally evil!
Police are surrounding the Richmond City Jail and refusing to let anyone (even attorneys) enter. Several arrested protestors have already been booked into the jail, but the jail will not tell us any information over the phone or let us enter the facility.

hard to unpack everything wrong with this statement. riots aren’t orchestrated by leaders. boogaloos and blm 757 weren’t leading anything. rva organizers aren’t pushing for peace, they’re pushing for justice. most importantly—you are NOT a spokesperson for “the movement.”
Confirmed: last night’s rioting/destruction was orchestrated by outside boogaloo boys and other non-local alt groups. RVA organizers have worked hard to promote peace while pushing for real policy change...R-wing is actively and intentionally hurting the movement 😡

so she’s releasing only the names of officers who have been indicted, not all who have been investigated? and of the 53 cases referred for review, her office only saw it fit to bring 1 to trial? what a shoddy attempt at appeasement!
Happening now: Richmond Commonwealths Attorney Collette McEachin announces her office will release the names of officers indicted for excessive force or abuse of authority. Since 2016 53 officers were referred for review.

“gifted” is a proxy variable for wealth and whiteness, and should never be used to mediate access to educational resources. plus it’s the exaltation of “gifted” students that justifies the violent, carceral punishment of the “deviant” (usually poor and black) ones. get rid of it!

this is why it’s so disingenuous to ask “what about murders?” when police abolition gets brought up.

stories like this are exactly why abolishing policing is going to require a lot more than just defunding police departments
A teacher saw a 12-year-old Black kid play with a Nerf gun at home on Zoom, videorecorded him, showed cops. Cops went to his home. He was suspended, his disciplinary record says he took "a fascimile of a firearm to school" & he now has a criminal record with the sheriff's office.

pretty much everything about cop city—from the project itself to the unprecedented repression of those who oppose it—has been motivated by sheer retribution for what happened in summer 2020. it made these ppl completely lose their minds.
The May 25, 2020 date was the day George Floyd was murdered by Derek Chauvin.
In previous bond hearings for Stop Cop City defendants, prosecutors with the Georgia Attorney General’s Office have tried to link the George Floyd Uprisings to the Stop Cop City movement.
