And sometimes we even get dressed up! The @evoketactical @batacticalgroup Team at the #UrbanShield #Hotwash after 48 hours of work. We clean up pretty well! (at Alameda County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnooLYVlESn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dr724rlx7rga

We did it!! 48 hrs complete at #UrbanShield ! Saturday 5am to today (Monday) at 5 am. We got to end our adventure with this good looking team of badasses (you can’t tell because i had to pixelate their faces... but they are really really ridiculously good looking), the Netherlands Special Operations Unit. I even got to practice my favorite Dutch phrase a few times, “Je hebt een lekker kontje” 😂 It was a pleasure watching these guys work together, manage a situation, get people out of danger and apply tourniquets and administer first aid when needed. Well done, Netherlands! 🇳🇱 Tik ‘m aan, ouwe! ✋🏼 Over all some fun and exhausting times at Urban Shield! ********************************** #tactical #competition #police #thinblueline #dutch #netherlands #tikemaanouwe #fieldtraining #tacticaltraining #alamedacountysheriff #police #swat #specialoperations #specops #KoninklijkeMarechaussee #kmar (at Alameda County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnmkf3XAMWM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mw239zyrxc3j

36 hours into #UrbanShield ! 12 more go! We’ve scene some awesome teams go through including the Hong Kong Police Force and the Fairfield Police with their super awesome uniforms! I’m excited to see the other teams that roll through! #thinblueline #police #swat #protectandserve #blue #teamwork #tactical #competition (at Alameda, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhvC07gA1T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iy8a041su3x6

18 out of 48 hours into #UrbanShield and we’re still going strong! SWAT Teams from all over are competing to see who the best of the best in various scenarios! I’m really impressed with all the team work, planning, and ability to save lives! Great job guys! Let’s keep the energy up! @urbanshieldacso (at Alameda County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnfsEUoAVP2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pqu06jbhniub

Stop Urban Shield!

The Stop Urban Shield Coalition is organizing a mass statewide mobilization on Friday, September 9! Join #Asians4BlackLives in Pleasanton to fight against policing and militarization in our communities.

About Urban Shield Urban Shield brings together police units from across the country and world – including from the apartheid state of Israel – to train on how to better criminalize, control, and repress communities, particularly Black communities, people of color, and all those who are most impacted by policing.

Stop police violence in our communities. Join the mobilization.

"And something I started many years ago that I look forward to resurrecting, with much more flair this time around. The Urban Shield concept of awareness, de-escalation and avoidance. This has been pressure-tested in a harsh environment and has proven itself. Credit goes to Marc Mac Young for his knowledge in compiling much of the underlying research and methodology which I utilised, he has indirectly saved lives and helped others prevent violence and harm to themselves. As the logo indicates, this is about rational safety. Nigel and I taught this across South Africa at one time, the good old days ;) Combat is not always a choice (your granny, for instance), and it is not always a good choice when alternatives exist. (This is no slight on sharks, it's just an analogy. I kind of like sharks and have seen a couple while diving in the Indian Ocean, they're amazing ;) There are sharks in the water. I prefer not to create sharks, I prefer to create and believe we need people that are shark proof instead. This is better than being shark bait." -Lloyd de Jongh Good to see that this is resurfacing. It's been dormant for years. #TRIPWIRE #tripwiresystem #urbanshield #tribe #onlythewilling
