kristi noem is why "more women in policing" turns out not to be a strategy for liberation. "avenging angels," a long line of lady prosecutors and cops who use their sensibilities to oppress others under the guide of "reform". almost always start with "protecting children" or some such.

20th anniversary of Pdx cops and a Multnomah Co Deputy killing James Chasse. How does PPB commemorate this touchstone event of the DOJ agreement to plead with Portland cops to stop killing folks in mental health crisis? Why it promotes one of the killers, to Captain of the Training Division.

🧵Four things about this excellent observation: 1. With the caveat that who gets organized to come out to a listening session isn't necessarily representative of a whole district of voters, 2. And, that tough budget times will always bring more defenders of spending than advocates for cutting 1/2

KBOO just published a great interview with Kristian Williams about police unions and the current controversy of the NW Oregon Labor Council potentially allowing the Portland Police Association in as an affiliate. Folks involved in organized labor & police accountability should be really concerned.

You know how white dude journalists like being embedded with troops or militias for their work? Can one please go be a prisoner in El Salvador for 24 hours as a suspected gang banger. We need white ppl to see white ppl in there for some to have empathy. Human rights are important.
