Open Oversight VA (RPD Watch)

We all deserve to live free from fear of police violence.

We call on all people of good conscience to stand in solidarity with the movement to #StopCopCity and defend the Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta. @defendatlforest @ATLSolFund Please read and sign on. defendtheatlantaforest.org/solidarity/

Can't just fire the bad apples. We must abolish the police.

3/ We need to abolish the police, but until then, OpenOversightVA.com needs a lot more photos of their faces. To help out, you can take pics of 🐖s you see & DM us, or email openoversightva@riseup.net Be dangerous & keep each other safe🖤 Stop Cop City & Stop Cops Everywhere

2/ Our anonymous volunteers have compiled over 1k Virginia cop photos, over 5k badge numbers, & over 24k names & histories of officers from over 300 departments on our site to help you out. (Custom search for a 🐖 you saw in the wild by description: openoversightva.com/find)

1/Love and rage from VA in solidarity with Atlanta🖤 Whether you're headed to a vigil tonight or just to 7-11 for a dented box of Emergency Wine, statistically speaking, you will probably see a cop on your way there. If you need help IDing a🐖, bookmark OpenOversightVA.com/Search✨

This is awesome. And a great thread of orgs doing amazing work!

Here's a running mega-thread of all our police profiles for easy reading. Check back regularly for updates.

Point us to Oakland and Berkeley police disciplinary records that *you've* received, and we'll link out to them from the relevant police officer profiles.

OJB also would like to thank the Lucy Parsons Lab (@lucyparsonslabs) and Open Oversight (@OpenOversight) for laying the groundwork for this tool and for all of the guidance and support they have provided along the way,
