Phoenix PD.
Do they use excessive force. Do they discriminate? Do they retaliate against people engaging in peaceful civil disobedience? Are they violating rights of folks with mental health concerns? Are they fucking with people experiencing homelessness?
Says maybe constitutional violations.
Talking about whether police are proper responders in some instances.

Talking about evictions now.
Assoc AG Gupta is leading an effort regarding evictions.
Basically calling out mass evictions in a pandemic as absolute fuckshit.
And tying it into whether police should respond to folks in mental health crisis, particularly when homeless.

Publicly available info sparked the review. Complaints, court cases, media coverage. Plus the (fucked up) nature of those data.

Q: was there a final straw?
A: sort of sidesteps and restates the reasons why I shared above.

They have mentioned homelessness several times. Will look at "sweeps" of camps and cops throwing out possessions. Cites a federal law against that(!)
Which like...as often as we hear about sweeps they need to give that some teeth.

I had a very visceral reaction when CNN interrupted an interview for breaking news. Like oh fuck what now.

I would love to see the practice banned in whatever way.

My magahole brother just said people shouldn't have kids if they can't afford them (in response to a FB post that parents need jobs that have livable wages).
Very rich from him, considering he relied on my parents to support him and his family for many years, his wife had about 7 kids before they got together, and he still has debt collectors chasing him and calling me to try and find him.

Sounds about right fatpony. About as much self awareness as the man who married my SIL has - he's a firefighter and was formerly military and thinks taxes and socialism are the worst. Like, how else would you get paid dude? 🤔

elle I’m constantly having this conversation about H with the people in our fire department. We are the only house without at least 1 state or county worker in it. They have no clue what it’s like to not have the pensions, pto that they have and far superior health coverage. But they are the first to be like no we shouldn’t give everyone health care. They have no freaking clue
