being anti-genocide is not allowed on meta

like i said before, i don't mess with shaun king like that, but that being said, many things about one thing can be true at the same time. it is very clear that there is a wave of censorship happening across social media against pro-palestinian content in favor of israeli propaganda. so whether or not you like shaun or not, it is very clear what is happening and why. there is clearly a genocide happening in gaza that is being perpetuated by colonizing power. a genocide against an indigenous population for land, resources, and power. basically the same thing america did to the natives here. had it not been for people like shaun king (flawed as he may be), many people would not be aware of the heinous acts of israel against the palestinian people right now. so even as someone who is not a shaun king fan, i am not so myopic in my view of things to not realize that he served a positive purpose when it comes to the israeli genocide of palestinians.

on a much larger scale, whenever a platform or a power attacks someone popular, one of the goals is to send a message to everyone else that they are not safe and that they should back off. it's like a football coach picking on and cursing out their hall of fame quarterback. when everyone else who isn't as popular or powerful sees that on the team, they immediately realize that they must fall in line or worse can happen to them. that's the goal of banning shaun king from ig. however as a black man who understands how connected all oppressive systems are, we cannot slow down. may i remind all my brothers and sisters that israel is where police forces like the nypd go and train in abusive violent tactics, which they then come back to america and overwhelmingly exercise on black and brown bodies. so if you think this does not affect you, you are sadly and deeply mistaken. additionally, this kind of censorship is going to spread. if we don't fight back, it won't be long before you will be arrested for speaking out against israel. this is what israel wants, and they have the money and political power to make it happen. you can either sit back and let it happen or you can fight back. however, make no mistake, it's coming, and this is the first major blow that the enemy has struck in their offensive against our free speech.

Sometimes police use rabbits for their sense of smell to find locations of decomposition. From what I found they have a shorter service life, but its costs far less than a service dog when all is considered. Other departments also use them to boost mental health.

Florida... I just... A fucking acorn. A handcuffed black man shot.

They started training for Chicago PD for the first time a little over 9 years ago. I’m bummin…

Agreed, agreed, agreed.

When I read that Finland requires 5,500 hours of training for its police officers, I thought, “Well, that’s way too much for classes and other training methods that keep trainees out of the field.” The best model is the one used in the medical profession, where new doctors are introduced to clinical practice as soon as possible. Interns are apprentices, residents are journeymen or women, and full-fledged doctors are masters. Police departments could adopt the same rigorous training, where the best officers supervise apprentices, and journeymen have a role in training as well.

After two years in the field with qualified mentors, we would have young police officers who know how to do their jobs. Moreover, they would not see themselves as ‘warrior cops’, one of the worst concepts I have run across in a long time. Police are public servants. They can serve without killing people. They can protect people instead.

I know this feeling. We’re treated as second class citizens. The source of this hatred is the Wealthiest French Canadian families, their politicians, and their legislations. They setup the police to fail. Similar to NATO, Article 5, an attack on him is an attack on me. 🫡 Molson Family, and company, step up. #solidarity Ryan Douglas Jackson - Second Class Citizen

Same applies to every public transit system.
