An officer handcuffed and placed Hill facedown on the street just outside the team’s stadium. Police also handcuffed Hill’s teammate Calais Campbell, who said he was trying to “deescalate” the situation. Both men are Black. After the players were released, Hill scored a touchdown to help the Dolphins win. During the touchdown celebration, a teammate pretended to handcuff him in the end zone.

#AbolistPoliceAbolishPrisons: It was the last of three trials against police and paramedics charged in the death of McClain, whom officers stopped following a suspicious person complaint. He was injected with the sedative after being forcibly restrained. The case received little attention until protests over the 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

McClain’s mother, Sheneen, raised her fist in the air following the verdict. “We did it! We did it! We did it!” she said as she walked away from the courthouse.

#AbolistPoliceAbolishPrisons: Manuel Ellis, a 33-year-old Black man who died in police custody and was captured on video saying he couldn't breathe.
Why it matters: The trial of the three Tacoma officers was the first test of a new police accountability law in Washington state, which revised an earlier statute that made it almost impossible to charge officers who kill in the line of duty.

#DefundThePolice: as policymakers rushed to equip the police with cameras, they often failed to grapple with a fundamental question: Who would control the footage? Instead, they defaulted to leaving police departments, including New York’s, with the power to decide what is recorded, who can see it and when.

#DefundThePolice: Officers said the use of the Taser on Dallas was justified because he had attempted to run away.
"#ICantBreathe. I don't want to be #GeorgeFloyd," Dallas said before he died, according to the suit, which cited a statement by a witness.

Not the #chokehold but self immolation: “This is a situation where he created his own death,” Fricke said during closing arguments in the officers’ nine-week trial on #murder and manslaughter charges. “It was his behavior that forced the officers to use force against him because he created a situation that required them to act.”

@UnicornRiot 3rd precinct was the flame of hope extinguished by #JimCrowJoe, funding the #CarceralState by increasing police and prison funding and not #EndQualifiedImmunity. He thought with the Community Safety Center he was done, and could transition to crimes against the global community. But MAGAots traded more prisons on the southern border if he wants to fund his #GenocideJoe projects. Liberal democrats job is never done.

#EndQualifiedImmunity: at least the third excessive force lawsuit from the protests — which garnered national infamy for violent police tactics highlighted by officers prolifically using rubber and foam bullets and tear gas to disperse demonstrators — to survive to trial.

#Exonerated: Misconduct in the precinct was so rampant that an investigation by the Mollen Commission, formed by New York City to investigate allegations of NYPD corruption, resulted in the arrest of 33 officers — a staggering one-sixth of the precinct — in the 1990s. The Mollen Commission found that officers in the “Dirty 30” routinely engaged in perjury, record falsification, thefts during searches and seizures, and distribution of narcotics.

#AbolishPrisonsAbolishPolice: Most of all, the list is a dizzying testament to just how central detention and imprisonment are to Israel’s occupation and control over Palestinians. the same system that, in July of this year, acquitted an Israeli police officer who shot dead Iyad al-Hallaq, an autistic Palestinian man, despite clear testimonies and video evidence proving he was unarmed and made no threat of any kind.

#HumanRightsViolationsBuiltIn: The return of 1990s-style stop-and-frisk policing in Eric Adams' NYC has been a civil-liberties disaster — with more racial profiling, a spike in unconstitutional stops, and little impact in crime. So why is Mayor-elect Cherelle Parker still planning to bring this bad policy to Philadelphia?

#ProsecutorialMisconduct: The victory comes more than two decades after #DNAevidence was used to overturn the convictions of Salaam and four other Black and Latino men in the 1989 rape and beating of a white jogger in Central Park. Salaam was arrested at age 15 and imprisoned for almost seven years.

#AbolishThePolice: Lawrence, on the other hand, asserts #jurisdictions across the state wouldn’t be investing in #oversight models if they didn’t prove effective. He also noted the department has not released a report on the officer killing of #ChineduOkobi, and argued that recent data shows that #Black and #Hispanic residents are still much more likely to be #arrested than #white residents.

#MississippiGoddam: Durden shot Lopez in the back of the head, killing him instantly. With Lopez’s body lying still on the floor, Durden cuffed him. Maze and Durden were #cops with the Southaven, #Mississippi #police. They had come to the trailer to serve a warrant. But they were at the wrong address. Mississippi jury rejected Linares’ suit, ruling that the two cops didn’t use “excessive force.”

But both #movements are working against further #militarization of #police. Both are working to prevent investments in weapons and violence. Both are working to centre #human and #planetary needs over the interests of profitmaking by #corporate investors. And both movements illuminate the real “#criminal conspiracy” or “#racketeering” enterprise: that of organized #stateviolence through #war and policing.
