This sow, who used to live in Federal Way, WA, admits the laws don't apply to cops and they will "find a reason" to pull you over if they want to. You can not reform the police. You can only seize power and abolish them.

Auburn Police officer’s use of force history provides context for his murder trial | Kent Reporter

Jeffrey Nelson killed three and sent dozens to the hospital during his time serving the City of Auburn.

"Throughout his time as an Auburn police officer, Nelson killed three people and beat dozens more so severely they needed medical attention, according to Auburn Police Department’s use of force documents.

According to an incomplete list of Nelson’s uses of force against people in Auburn, Nelson used force 92 times between May 8, 2011, when he shot and killed a man who allegedly had a knife, and Nov. 1, 2018, when Nelson put a man suspected of stealing cigarettes in a stranglehold to the point he lost consciousness.

Use of force records indicate that the majority of the incidents in which Nelson used force — 57 out of 92 incidents —resulted in injuries that required medical attention, and 35 people needed hospitalization. Nelson injured 68% of the people he used force against, which is significantly higher than the department-wide rate of 38% in 2020, according to documents.

Despite the number and severity of the assaults Nelson committed, his actions were rarely investigated by the Auburn Police Department....

In July 2014, Nelson saw three members of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe walking in the street. Nelson parked his patrol car in the street and made contact with the three people. Officer Cristian Adams was also present.

According to documents, Nelson began cussing at the men, then asked Adams, “want to f—- them up?” After that, Nelson used a Taser on one of the men before putting him in a “lateral vascular neck restraint,” which is a stranglehold that cuts off blood flow to the brain. Nelson held the man in this stranglehold until he lost consciousness, and the man required medical attention from firefighters, according to police records.

The lateral vascular neck restraint Nelson used has since been banned by the Washington state Legislature.

The man Nelson attacked had allegedly committed the misdemeanor crime of public disturbance because he was jaywalking, according to police records."

Fund, fund, fund the police – really Biden?

By John Parker

That conservative trajectory led President Biden to chanting in opposition to the very moderate demand of taking some funds from the police. “Fund the police, fund them, fund them” he exclaimed, as if he was preaching the gospel. And, it looked in fact like he was preaching to the choir since he got a standing ovation in the House chambers.

Biden is not worried about Black voters. He thinks we as Black people have no choice. During the last election he said if we didn’t vote for him we weren’t Black. He joins Joe Rogan in thinking he knows what it is to be Black.

Fund the movement for racial justice and equality, not the police!

By Gloria Verdieu and John Parker 

March 2, the day after President Joe Biden delivered the State of the Union speech, 12-year-old Thomas Siderio was shot and killed by Philadelphia police officers.

The solution to crime prevention is not to “fund, fund, fund” the police, as Biden claims, but to abolish the police and let working people — especially those in the oppressed communities most targeted by police — be empowered to create their own methods of safety in their communities, that reject racism and respect the right to life and human dignity.

This is 22 year old AMIR LOCKE. He was killed 2 days ago by Minneapolis police who entered his home and shot him to death. They were executing a search warrant that he was not named in, entered without knocking, and claimed it was because he had a gun— which he legally owned.

When do we overthrow this fucking white supremacist system already?

Is this true? Can we analyze this from a perspective of growth? Is this still relevant? I would love to talk to people about this but when I use the word Racist people turn away. ⁠ #dismantleracism #defundpolice #useyourprivilege https://www.instagram.com/p/CZSVRuAv5jO/?utm_medium=tumblr
