so bizarre.

@mekkaokereke despite quotas being banned in california, joe macnamara jr, as cheif of SJPD, set arrest quotas and pesonally reviewed offocers' records to give them black marks for not meeting his quota.

to meet the quota, they arrested anyone they could get away with... they provoked people and committed fraud, to meet their quotas. most were not white, and most arrested had charges dropped.

it made crime worse. and police violence was as bad as LA was under his father.

@inthehands

i hope it happens. in the long term, it is to everyone's benefit, even law enforcement's.

@MisuseCase @mekkaokereke

@inthehands

indeed. it wasn't easy but it was done, bit by bit, and rather quietly. iirc, it took over 30 years just to get to where police had to follow the same rules every other privacy security guard and company had to.

@MisuseCase @mekkaokereke

@inthehands

cities are often in thrall to law enforcement, or at least too weak to stand up to them.

changes must occur at the state level.

@MisuseCase @mekkaokereke

@inthehands

minnesota ought to follow california's lead and require even law enforcement to be licensed as private security guards to prevent this. following the same model, private security guards are required to work for a private security company and freelancing is forbidden. also, even leo's must have the same weapons permits security guards must have to possess them on the job. no permits==no weapons, no exceptions.

that point of fact comes courtesy a physics professor, who should know...

when you really, really think about it, it becomes too obvious.

question everything.

listen to people who point out that things may not be as they seem

@Rasp hmmm...

have you looked at the knives on rakuten.co.jp?

@Rasp the only decent ones i know of are japanese and at least 10x the price of typical retail, or about 30x target prices.

maximum cognitive dissonance

by using the same aryan archetypes as the nazis

so dissonant that cognition

haven't heard anyone at all mention until today how desperately putin wants ukraine's strategic minerals and to destroy the deal #ukraine has to sell them to #eu.

there is a lot more to an #adobe install than just the #creativecloud components.

there are hidden components with full network access running in the background.

and they phone home.

they are not uninstallable.

what do they tell adobe?

at least they can be cut off from network access and disabled.

i hope someone has a howto.

i no longer have #windows and i don't remember how to do it.

according to the bible moses was an egyptian prince, being adopted by pharaoh's family.

he was therefore very well educated.

that education includes egyptian law.

so it is no coincidence that laws given to israel were egyptian.

it seems as if that red graph line is intended to be a whip, and being used on the people that man is facing.
