also relating to antipsych - ppl are sooo often confused when I express distrust of social workers and say that replacing cops with social workers is not a solution. this is not an explanation but it should get the ball rolling in your head: social workers used to exist primarily to recommend which individuals be sterilized by the state.

After my depressing post about our anti-riot police, I wanted to show you who was in front of those guys 👇
and how french people still protest unjust reforms in spite of their attempts to intimidate us:
They can’t keep us all down ✊

why was jon let go? like. man’s heart is not beating for a good long while, if not the full six months, and yet he still has brain activity. then. (does his heartbeat come back? do they ever say that?) he wakes up and is allowed to walk out of the hospital with, what i assume was, very little fuss. at the very least, it wasn’t enough fuss. jonathan sims is a medical marvel, people will study him and talk about him for generations. like penicillin. or like. other. medical marvels. i don’t know. i feel like he was let out of the hospital too early. he at least should have been given a psych eval. maybe the apocalypse wouldn’t have happened if they studied him more. food for thought.

just watched the first few episodes of ripper street and it’s better than i expected it to be so i think after succession ends all us mattmac fans should watch it together <3
#ripper street#matthew macfadyen#it’s actually NOT about jack the ripper and his victims it’s about whitechapel post-jack the ripper#and social issues such as the beginnings of pornography and the lives of sex workers#and antisemitism and childhood poverty and the justice system#the role of the police vs vigilante justice#also mentions (in a very dracula way) the role of new technology such as the invention of video and building of the underground#and this shit is all from the first three episodes!

When I was early in my transition to becoming a hardcore leftist I was really trying to grasp different concepts. One thing that I had trouble trying to understand was the opposition to cops. I knew they were obviously bad, but surely they aren’t ALL bad… right? I genuinely believed ACAB went too far, and we still need police to prevent crimes in every city. I now know that that’s very wrong and propagandized, and I’ll try to dismantle that in this post.
First of all, if you’re here, you probably agree that every person is different and are only a product of their environment. Not a single person is inherently a bad person and wants to do bad things for the sake of doing bad things.
Now, if you do understand this, then let me ask this question: why do we need police? If every person is a product of their environment, then there is no reason to “prevent” crimes by policing and locking them up. The real problem is the source, ie., the environment.
One of the biggest and most widely accepted criticisms of capitalism is its inherent requirement of coercion. In order for the upper class to keep and uphold the power it maintains it needs to let the lower class know that it doesn’t have any power. They intentionally keep the environment to make sure that we don’t have any power, and people who are affected by it are locked up to scare us out of doing anything about it.
This is the problem. Of course there are good people who are also cops. The problem is that they are participating in upholding the coercive system and actively locking up desperate citizens, profiting from it, and feeding into the system. That’s why we say ACAB, because there is absolutely no reason why you would want to lock people up and hurt people for solely that reason.
Now, here are the statistics. From ABC7NEWS: “An ABC OTV analysis of state and local police funding and violent crime data in the U.S. overall between 1985 and 2020 found no relationship between year-to-year police spending and crime rates.”
From The Washington Post: “More spending in a year hasn’t significantly correlated to less crime or to more crime. For violent crime, in fact, the correlation between changes in crime rates and spending per person in 2018 dollars is almost zero.”
From TraningReform.org: “From 2015 to 2019 more than 5,500 people were killed by US law enforcement. Those killed were often disproportionately minority citizens living in Native American, African American, and Latino communities; many of whom were experiencing a mental health emergency.”
With American police training being the lowest of any reported country, it’s clear to see a correlation between over-policing and violence in minority communities.
Looking at the slogan “Defund the Police”, (something that, despite being spouted by politicians, never actually happened) it’s not about getting rid of police altogether. It’s about redirecting funds from over-funded police departments and moving them to highly needed services like mental health services, drug prevention and rehabilitation services, housing, and many others.
By looking at the data, we can see that police don’t prevent crime, they actually have no affect on it at all! Why is it that you only see police in poor communities, as opposed to rich ones? Again, it’s not because the people in it are “just bad people”, it’s because it is poor.
I hope this helps some of you who do see this to clear up some confusion around the topic, as it is very cloudy in American politics for obvious reasons.

nothing will make you realize how fucked the system is quite like being a social worker
#found out some truly heinous news about my clients and how the system has failed them these past few days#the police are useless#and other social workers don’t do their jobs and it causes so much fucking harm#and I am only one person with no funding and little support for a brand new program#I am supposed to be The Support and I have almost nothing to give except to care about this other person#I have been able to do some very good things and help but today just ducking sucks#my posts about social work

so i had an illegal stop / discrimination incident with the police (due to my partner being trans and our local PD having a history of transphobia) so i wanted to provide some tips / things we should have done! keep in mind this may not be accurate for your state/locality and this advice is US specific.
1. do Not exit your vehicle unless they say they “need” or you “must” exit! if they ask if you “can” exit or if you “will” exit then you do not have to.
2. they cannot search you unless they are given reason to. they must tell you why and have substantial reason to
3. ask if you are being detained! and why! ask if you are free to leave! leave if you are!!
4. GET THEIR NAME AND BADGE NUMBER!
5. body cam footage can be acquired through an open records request. many PDs have implemented body cams- check if yours has and what rules they have for when they must be recording
6. have a voice recorder/dash cam or start recording on your phone just in case! you never know when you will need this footage. in my state I don’t have to inform people of recording them but in some states you do so be sure to check your state laws.
7. if their vehicle blocks you from leaving - this is an illegal stop. For example, my partner and i were parked in a parking lot and surround by cars on all three sides and the officer’s car blocked the backside of the car so we could not escape
8. roll down your window when asked but you do not have to open your door (may be obvious but i made this mistake)
9. Check to see if their lights are on! If their vehicle lights are on and they haven’t told you you have done anything illegal - also an illegal stop.
10. check the time at the start of the interaction and at the end of the interaction! and state the time and date and location in any video you do!
#these could vary state by state and locality so keep that in mind!#police#us police#tw police#feel free to correct me if i am wrong about some of these but this was advice we got from lawyers and social workers when reporting#i will update the post if i need to if i am wrong about anything

Couldn't believe my ears when the integration initiative I'm cooperating with painted Germany as a safe country where everyone can make a decent living today.
Yes, we're all privileged to be here. But don't forget Olaf Scholz announcing mass deportations on Spiegel Magazine just last week. Don't forget the massive homeless population in Germany, half of whom are refugees in temporary shelters. Don't forget the massive intensifying of police profiling right now.
Our biggest issue for sure is not Meckermentalität (people complaining too much) and I hate that (some) white Germans are teaching youth that complaining is bad.
Not sure if I should even bother discussing or just quit the cooperation at this point.

Finally caught up on last week's episode, and obviously Adi's displaying so many red flags here even without considering what his job is, but when you do consider that he's a social worker it's even more of a red flag for him to be so bothered about the child being biologically his. How many children does he see placed with families that aren't biologically theirs and he still sees it like this?????
#probably a sign that he shouldn't even be a father OR a social worker#but i suppose he has to be a social worker otherwise holby would lose its only social worker shdjdjsj#same with ffion being the only police officer#adi kapadia#bbc casualty#casualty
