“On a snowy night last March, Daniel Prude sprinted shirtless out of his brother’s home in Rochester, N.Y., seemingly in the grip of a psychotic episode. Distraught, his brother called police for help.
Instead, the officers handcuffed Mr. Prude, placed a mesh hood over his head and pressed him into the pavement until he lost consciousness. His death — as well as what emerged as an apparent cover-up of the circumstances around it — further inflamed a national reckoning around racism and brutality in policing. Protests broke out nationwide.
On Tuesday, the New York attorney general, Letitia James, announced that none of the officers who arrested Mr. Prude would face charges in connection with his death. A grand jury convened by Ms. James to investigate the case declined to charge any of the seven officers on the scene that night with a crime.”
NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE

What We Know About Daniel Prude’s Case and Death
For months, officials in Rochester, N.Y., tried to keep body camera footage of the police encounter that led to his death from becoming public. A grand jury declined to bring an indictment against the officers involved.

Killing 27 people in an airstrike as retaliation for what happened a week ago, in a different country, isn't stopping genocide.
The ONLY thing it's doing is increasing the propaganda the militia will be using to recruit more fighters.
Don't be fooled. The US doesn't give a SHIT about Syrians. The US doesn't give a SHIT about human rights. We barely have human rights in our own fucking borders. We definitely don't give a fuck about whats happening elsewhere.
The US has the highest rate of child hunger and child poverty in the "first world". The US doesn't give a SHIT about human rights.

This is the algorithm LAPD and other departments use to predict and produce crimes.
Quote taken from Carceral Capitalism by Jackie Wang.
"In police departments that use PredPol, officers are given printouts of jurisdiction maps that are covered with red square boxes that indicate where crime is supposed to occur throughout the day... The Box is a kind of temporary crime zone... What is the attitude or mentality of the officers who are patrolling one of the boxes? When they enter one of the boxes, do they expect to stumble upon a crime taking place? How might expectations of finding crime influence what the officers actually find? Will people who pass through these temporary crime zones while they are being patrolled by officers automatically be perceived as suspicious? Could merely passing through one of these red boxes constitute probable cause?"
The evidence of institutionalized racism being accelerated by technology in the New Jim Code is suggesting people have new oppressors and they are code writers
