Whittier Cop Watch

A thread of our threads (so they don’t get lost + you can find resources/info easier)

Hey Twin Cities! We know that not everybody in city government or the Homeless Industrial Complex supports camp clearings. If you are in a position to provide camp defenders & residents with information, you can anonymously do so. Please share widely.

**EVICTION ALERT MINNEAPOLIS* 115pm Comrades on the ground at 29th St/1th Ave report 10 MPD squads, 2 SWAT Vans, 4 dark SUVS and police taping off the area. MPD told bystanders it is an eviction in progress. If you can, go to 29th St/14th Ave to help your unhoused neighbors now

Never forget, never ever forget, this was the statement made by the MPD after Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd:

Not only did cops with long guns have their tasers out, ready to stop parents from saving their own children, it looks like the cops have one parent pinned to the ground. You can hear one person yell, "what the fuck are you doing to him? Let him up!"

Something I can't get over: The Minneapolis Police Department (mayor and chief) let the NY Times do a ride along with its police officers for a George Floyd murder anniversary story about how the mayor has tried to overhaul the department (he hasn't).

The death toll just rose: At least 37 children have been killed in school shootings in 2022 so far. It is nearly *twice as dangerous* to be a student than a police officer in America in 2022.

We are approaching 1 year since Winston Smith was assassinated in Minneapolis. June 3, 2021

A dear enby unhoused comrade was just in an accident and could use our support, for food & self care items. Please donate even a little to support them in their recovery! V*nmo: Bracelet_313

The assistant manager of the TOPS buffalo NY store was calling 911 within the store as the shooting was happening. The 911 dispatcher was yelling at her and also HUNG UP on her. She then called her boyfriend to have him call 911. Y'all......

Protesters burn cars, set bank on fire in Paris over police brutality bill. Cars were set alight and the Central Bank of France was hit with a fire missile as protesters took to city streets to block a security bill that prevents reporters from covering police brutality.

Fuck Brooklyn Center PD, cop watching is LEGAL in MN. The footage shows them grabbing her out of the car and snatching her phone away, threatening her with illegitimate arrest. The rumor is true and unrest is the logical response

THIS EVENING: There will be two actions in reaction to the Supreme Court's intention to overturn Roe v. Wade. One will be held in Minneapolis at the federal courthouse at 5pm, and one at the State Capitol in St Paul at 6pm.
