This is going on where I live. The school board member expressed concern that armed cops stationed in schools would end up shooting children of color and the Blue Lives Matter folks are calling for her head.

Blue lives are the biggest snowflakes. Fuck's sake.
"There are instances and the data supports some of this stuff that they were suggesting about African American males being more likely to be shot by police," said Chief Molloy, "but saying those statements without any data, without any context, does not lend itself to a fruitful exchange of ideas that will bring us together."
Translation: The facts hurt my feelings!!

I knew the kid who would call in bomb threats to our school to avoid taking tests! he was a good student and ended up in the military! he would almost certainly still be in jail if he did that shit in this climate!

Some unpacking here:
1. This is not a random pyscho "declaring war". It's the official twitter account of an organization representing NYC police officers.2. For past 5 years, de Blasio has avoided criticism of the NYPD, done nothing to reform them, been 110% pro-cop. This is what that gets you. https://t.co/1AanzyTWyc— JW Mason (@JWMason1) February 10, 2020
"There's a problem here which I don't think progressives have really grappled with. We tend to approach policing as just another public function that could be performed better in various ways. But things like this bring out how police are a distinct political problem."

A friend in Portland posted on fb this insane story about an small-town Oregon police department just outside Oregon surveilling, arresting, seizing property from, then (falsely) charging an African-American guy with theft, all to get him to drop accusations of racial discrimination/harassment against his employer/boss who was an acquaintance of the police chief.

oregon police are terrible and racist and not accountable to any civil authority. last time portland needed a police chief the mayor undertook an extensive search and wound up hiring a Black lady from california. she was not the police union's preferred candidate but she still seemed to spend most of her time going on right-wing talk shows until she abruptly left this year to become police chief in philadelphia. good luck with that philly. this time around the mayor just randomly promoted somebody, which is probably smart because it doesn't fucking matter who the police chief is.
the worst most hateful shit comes from the police unions, and nobody of course dares to say anything about it because unions are sacred cows whether or not one of them is very obviously a Racist Bastards Club.
just like all of the other american institutions that are failing, i expect this to continue to not be addressed and cops to continue to spend their time hunting for Black people to hurt.

how in the hell, even without a video, could you hear the details of the story that the McMichaels reported to police and rule that this was self-defense and in accordance with a citizen's arrest?
this is the sequel to Trayvon Martin - a stalking with a deadly weapon that inexplicably got blamed on the victim who didn't bring a weapon to the fight. self-fucking defense. boy it helps to be a retired ex-investigator for the DA, white, and a resident of Georgia to get that kind of favorable spin.
