I'm excited for this next briefing, co-sponsored by @gangscoalition.bsky.social.

I'm excited for this next briefing, co-sponsored by @gangscoalition.bsky.social.

We’re hosting a virtual briefing on the harms of gang suppression policing—systems that continue to expand with little accountability while harming Black & Brown communities. Featuring Babe Howell, Victor Dempsey, Erica Ford Moderated by @alexvitale.bsky.social April 7, RSVP: linktr.ee/SER.psjp

«Que la policía está para protegernos de los malos es en buena medida una fantasía progresista. Tal y como afirma el veterano estudioso de la policía David Bayley: La policía no impide los delitos. Este es uno de los secretos mejor guardados de la vida moderna. Los expertos lo saben;

Last year, agencies like ICE & Border Patrol cost the U.S. $41 billion. That's taxpayer money that could be better spent on investing in communities — not tearing them apart.

Where am I?

Calling on Gov. Hochul to protect immigrants and shut down ICE Detention.

On my way.

Let’s stop softening the language. The pregnant detainees in the Texas ICE camp are children. They are not “young women.” They are minors. If pregnancies occurred while they were detained, every ICE officer must be investigated for child sexual assault. These children must be freed.

“The records show that Palantir is actively working on the technical infrastructure underpinning the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts which could soon impact U.S. citizens.“ Palantir will be used to identify domestic Trump critics soon enough.

The impunity of policing is a feature, not a bug.

Amazing experience watching Mayor Mamdani create the Office of Community Safety at City Hall today.

Law enforcement isn't built for this. If someone is non-violent and experiencing a psychological/physiological crisis, THE LAST THING they need is a professionally apathetic PTSD-sufferer with a gun and a gilded system to shield them, cosplaying power in high stress... WE CAN DO BETTER.

Love this new statement on police violence and how we should respond by examining where the system failed from Alex Vitale www.currentaffairs.org/news/what-ho...

We have seen multiple police shootings of people having a mental health crisis this year in NYC. Too often, we respond with the limited demand of disciplinary consequences for officers, but this fails to address the underlying policy failures. There is an alternative. Thread

Our (@psjpbc.bsky.social) next policy briefing is on the use of Sentinel Event Reviews as a tool for changing deadly police policies and practices. March 10th on Zoom. RSVP in comments.
