THE POLICE PROBLEM

The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.
99.9999% of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct is never investigated, never punished, never makes the news, so it's not on this page.
When cops are caught breaking the law, they're investigated by other cops. Details are kept quiet, the officers' names are withheld from public knowledge, and what info is eventually released is only what police choose to release — often nothing at all.
When police are fired — which is all too rare — they leave with 'law enforcement experience' and can easily find work in another police department nearby. It's called "Wandering Cops."
When police testify under oath, they lie so frequently that cops themselves have a joking term for it: "testilying." Yet it's almost unheard of for police to be punished or prosecuted for perjury.
Cops can and do get away with lawlessness, because cops protect other cops. If they don't, they aren't cops for long.
The legal doctrine of "qualified immunity" renders police officers invulnerable to lawsuits for almost anything they do. In practice, getting past 'qualified immunity' is so unlikely, it makes headlines when it happens.
All this is a path to a police state.
In a free society, police must always be under serious and skeptical public oversight, with non-cops and non-cronies in charge, issuing genuine punishment when warranted.
Police who break the law must be prosecuted like anyone else, promptly fired if guilty, and barred from ever working in law-enforcement again.
That's the solution.

Our definition of ‘cops’ is broad, and includes prison guards, probation officers, shitty DAs and judges, etc — anyone who has the authority to fuck over people’s lives, with minimal or no oversight.

Cuz all the newspapers are owned by the cunts who engineered this fascist takeover.
Ruddy cunts
We all (as in Americans) need to come to grips with the fact that we stopped demanding tangible improvements in our lives and not the hypothetical.
I read in Broken Clock Peter Thiel's book that since a lot of improvements in QOL are due to tech discovered during the space race / (growth of US empire, he doesn't admit that part), there are multiple generations conditioned to assume that "progress" is automatic.
Because mainstream media has always been the enemy.
Congress woman LaMonica McIver was charged and faces up to 17 years for trying to view an ICE facility she was legally allowed to because they’re claiming she assaulted them on trumped up charges.
Because there are men with guns who wouldn't like that. And typically, media people aren't the kind who own and use guns. So they tend to be scared about covering things that the men with guns strongly dislike.
This was a Congressman.... With a legal right to visit.
Will the congressman personally guarantee the safety of every media figure that reports on this? Legal rights are a nice fiction, they don't actually protect you.
He can put out a social media post. It would get to more people.
It sure is a good thing that the 2 largest social media sites aren't owned by billionaires who are backing Trump.
Sure if you can show me that's necessary. Things are bad, but I'm not sure if they're federal agents openly executing reporters bad.
The truth is nobody is reporting because all of our media is owned by corporate conglomerates. Their owners don't want them to report
I'm not even saying that cops haven't harassed reporters before, they absolutely have, and yet reporters still did their jobs until recently
this happening on a red state, thats why. conservative MSM, will not report negative news of red states almost never in a fair way. they also want eys off of epstein.
This is the one of the more sordid parts. I’m highly suspicious of MAGA men in roles such as these who are allowed to put and keep women in cages. Prison rape, by guards, already has a sordid history, and that is in a system that required heavy screening of candidates.
What of these men, with no screening, who are already chasing their hard-ons as they engage their work where people can see?
I’m not believing they’re not raping in those buildings. Men too, probably.
many already happened, the rapes msm wont be reporting convicted rapists joining ICE.
obviously the conditions are inhumane, they are being assaulted, starved, raped, and being denied necessities. and likely tortured. thats an easy guess as they have already been caught doing it multiple times in broad daylight.
what i find disturbing is how 40 minutes away form alligator alkatrazz a university in miami is doing human trials for neuralink, and that particular concentration camp has hundreds if not thousands of missing people, gone from their records.
dont mean to be the tin foil hat guy, but the nazis did human trials for some fucked up scifi shit too.
so i wouldnt put it past them.
reminds me of this expert bunker/prepper/security guy talking with billionaires about their future apocolypse lairs like a decade ago, and they wanted to know how they could keep their security detail loyal through the end times. and he said there is no guarantee to stop that from happening.
not long after that neuralink enters the picture as a mainstream take on brain chips.
we are approaching world war 3, and the billionaires have their bunkers, now they just need guaranteed service and obediance from those they take to their living tombs. and those defending them on the outside.
i imagine there would be a bonus for soldiers who sign up to get the latest tech to help "keep our boys safe"
some real guns of the patriots type shit.
tin foil hat off now.
remember A&M university did unsanctioned neuralink on monkeys, and it never worked, ignoring ethics rules of experimenting on animals. and even more supsicious the research isnt published, which is unlikely to be accepted by any science journal anyways.
I hate to be "that guy" defending an absolute piece of shit administration, but a federal Judge ruled that ICE can still deny representatives access to their detention centers if not given 7 days notice. He says in the video he gave 24 hours notice.
7 days is absurd, obviously these judges want to help the Republicans cover up whatever would be investigated, but those are the standing rules at the moment...
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/20/lawmakers-ice-facilities-judge-block
They should submit a new request each and every day
Surely that can't be that hard?
I think it would be pretty cool if a congressman gives 7 days notice every single day, so they effectively do daily check ups on these concentration camps, forcing them to clean it up constantly
I’m glad he’s pretending to try but unfortunately he’s owned by Israel
133k is all it takes for Israel to buy a Senator? Fuck. I'll deplete my retirement and remortgage my home for that. The return is fucking amazing.
Track AIPAC also takes into consideration the voting record of the representative and generally the red label reflects that not only do they take money they are also voting to send blank checks to Israel. Israel has universal healthcare and free college thanks to us taxpayers. We really need to end the Israeli occupation of our government.
Not trying to subvert any kind of work that would hurt palestinians when I say this: it isnt a lot of money in the grand scheme of things. Its a 1 year salary, and he isnt obligated to do their biddingg by accepting the money. I think a better litmus test is seeing the % of aipac money compared to grassroots etc and then seeing some statements on refusing aipac money going forward are good first steps. Again, I havent done much research on this guy but if we go the route of "Not one penny of aipac money is allowed" we may be losing some otherwise good allies who made mistakes.
Feel free to roast me if im being ignorant tho

I appreciate your links.
Fly a bunch of drones over it. Throw some cameras over the fence,maybe some burner phones with facebook or tiktok already on it so they can just live feed a bunch of videos from inside.
Probably but also maybe not. They're very much about owning the libs, so they'd deny entry to a broom closet if they felt like it would get them enough laugh reacts on Facebook.
Write them a strongly worded letter you fuckin useless tool.
Nah
