#cop propaganda

[notreallyimportant]

The fact that y’all hate defense lawyers is mindboggling. Like that’s copaganda 101.

Stop and think about it for more than 12 seconds. In every cop show that I can think of, the cops and prosecuting lawyers are all talking shit about the defense lawyer, calling them all types of names. All that, despite the fact that the 6th Amendment allows for the person they think did the crime to have legal counsel. Does that mean you hate the 6th amendment as well? ( Personally I think it does). Not really, that was a leading question.

But how is it that lawyers, specifically those who defend citizens who are facing criminal charges seen as the scum of the earth, when civil lawyers aren’t treated the same way despite having to follow the same strict rules of conduct?

“Well, it’s because they’re defending rapists and murderer” you say.

These people are allegedly guilty of those crimes. It’s up to the lawyers to present evidence to sway the jury ( the people that actually votes on whether or not someone is guilty) one way or another. Like dude, we automatically assume someone is guilty because they ask for a lawyer, when ( again) they have a whole amendment in the Bill of Rights that says they can ask for one. I’m not going to defend myself against cops when I know very little about the law, that’s what a lawyer is for.

The Mentalist is most certainly cop propaganda just by its very nature of being a cop show, but it's especially obvious when the agents & cops get their guns out when they... Hear a door slam. See no one's home. See someone IS home, but they (legally & rightfully) don't want to come out (cause they see strangers with guns outside their home).

And the "context" is that they're just going to interview someone for questions. That's it. They're not there to arrest anybody, just to ask questions.

But... Them hearing a door slam, or a window close is reason enough to draw their guns.

Or you talking to them through your door is reason enough for them to draw their guns.

God. The thing abt the uchiha is that. Yes. It was fucked up that no one trusted them and they got pushed further and further from the village center. However. They were also a clan of ninja cops with fucked up magical eyes that they supercharge by getting horrifically traumatized. So like. I also would not fucking trust them.

#like maybe its just that ive been too influenced my senju propaganda but i just think the uchiha as a clan kinda fucking suck #at least by the time we get to sasuke's dad leading things. they seemed fine when madara joined with the village #so its just that the resentment at feeling pushed out has risin by then. and maybe im not remembering things right but like Tobirama #made them the cops right? and they got pissed that they weren't given any political power but like u get so much fucking power as the polic #? and also it just seems like the worst fucking idea to put that all on one clan. like THE WORST job u could give to 1 clan of fucked up #eyeball freaks. and i can never tell if they r legitimately being prejudiced against but like they kida have good reason not to trust them #bc they were legit gonna overthrow the government. so like where did it start? i just kinda feel like they think theyre entitled to power #but r also intentionally standoffish to outsiders. but again maybe im just biased bc i dont like Sasukes dad and the nameless uchiha so muc #ugh. its too messy and its all built on the back of what may or may not have been a slight against them. and the rift just kept getting #wider. i mean knowing Tobirama it was probably a slight... but idk im not power hungry enough to understand y they got so mad abt it #konoha. the village in which everyone sucks and the children suffer. #naruto ramblings #naruto

"ACAB except kim kitsuragi"

no hope for you even at all.

#i love kim but he is literally a centrist corrupt cop that abuses his power #please i'm begging you play disco elysium again and actually engage with the political themes #your takeaway should not be ''cops are good'' #it should be ''cops and politicians are corrupt and no one is immune from flaw'' #this why some ppl think the video game is copaganda... it's literally teaching you to be literate of propaganda and to use critical thought #the fact that kim is a likeable person is important. the fact that you want to impress him is important #you will sometimes eskew your own moral values to make him happy #if i knew kim in real life i'd be deeply ideologically conflicted #which is! the point! #sigh. #you can have little an old man yaoi as a treat but you should engage with the text first

#this whole scene is killing me #the alien feet on the desk #the umbrella still in use #Pun's arms just dangling #the cop having been silent the whole time so far #Jam still in her pig costume complete with ears on #i just love this show so so much #i have a whole post coming soon about this show and all the incredible tableaus it presents us with and here's another one #umbrella propaganda #1000 years old the series #1000 years old #sorry for the potato phone screenshot AGAIN #mia watches things

[Video description: Jewish protesters in front of the Democratic headquarters in DC to demand a ceasefire and to stop the ongoing mass genocide going on in Palestine. The person taking the video captures these protesters being pulled, yanked, and pushed by cops who are trying to separate them to remove them. Some cops are throwing people down the steps, as well.]

I would also like to note THIS is how the Times of Israel has described this event:

Caption on the article on the Times of Israel reads: "6 police officers hurt in far-left Jewish pro-Palestinian protest at Democrat HQ in DC."

The byline reads: "Anti-Zionist demonstrators demand Israel cease its fire in war against Hamas; legislators escorted by cops from building; melee also forces lockdown of nearby US Congress offices"

LOOK at how they are describing this event... they're basically calling Jewish activists terrorists...

"The protesters were calling for Israel to cease its operations “Was just evacuated from the #DNC after pro-terrorist, anti-#Israel protestors grew violent, pepper spraying police officers and attempting to break into the building,” Sherman posted on X. "Israel has said there will not be a ceasefire without the release of the hostages, and that a ceasefire would merely aid Hamas and help it regroup and replenish its stocks. The US has supported Israel in its stance, but is instead promoting the use of humanitarian pauses for the entry of aid into the beleaguered Gaza Strip and to allow civilians to evacuate from the battle-zone northern part of the enclave, where Hamas has many of its strongholds." The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said Wednesday that 11,500 people had been killed in Gaza since the start of the war, including at least 4,710 children and 3,160 women. The figures cannot be independently verified and do not distinguish between civilians and terrorists, and also do not differentiate between those killed by Israeli airstrikes and those killed by failed Palestinian rocket launches.

American cops were assaulting and brutalizing Jewish protesters, and the Israeli press and propaganda machine is STILL lying and reinforcing the harmful narrative that Palestinian people are terrorists. After getting updates about the telecommunications in Gaza being down AGAIN, and Israel still storming Al-Shifa hospital (a war crime)... this is just despicable.

i think, for me, a large part of why i refuse to accept edgy writers at dc trying to make batman an abusive parent (while ofc refusing to acknowledge that what they're writing is abuse) is that... the entire premise of the justice league, as a narrative tool, is that they are Good People. the second any of them turn a blind eye to one of their founding members abusing his kids, the superhero narrative falls apart. they can't be good people if they enable child abuse! this just turns them into, like, fucking cops. it doesn't WORK.

also like clark kent my good friend clark kent is the best man on the entire planet and he would not fucking say that. he would not be besties with a man who abuses his kids. and given that he is literally superman, it would be very hard to hide that from him. he would not fucking let that slide

but like. the entire concept of the dc universe where superheroes exist and we as an audience are supposed to root for them and believe in them. this falls apart when people go "actually, bruce hits dick and is extremely emotionally manipulative and etc etc etc". by all means let him fuck up, let him have flaws, and let him get things wrong, but to be a hero he fundamentally needs to be a good person. that's the entire point.

#like i cant stress it enough. making him shitty and abusive is just like oh superheroes? yeah theyre just cops #extrajudicial assholes with no oversight who can treat others as they please for crimes that may or may not exist #and who get the propaganda bonus for risking their lives uwu etc #the entire point of the fiction here is that they ARE good people. unlike cops! they cannot be cops!! #if they allow bad people to maintain power in their system NONE of them are good people and the narrative falls apart #and to me that defeats the purpose of the superhero genre!!!! #no one wants to root for them if they're fucking cops (im ignoring the centrists and people incapable of critical thinking here) #anyway. this wasnt prompted by anything in particular i was just thinking abt it last night and remembered that just now #rimi talks #bruce

[hastalahamon]

"that's the justice you're looking for"

yeah

because HE MADE IT HAPPEN

had he not gone after that cunt you'd never have protected him and you'd never have stumbled upon the evidence of all the rapes

fuck sake

#sometimes i really hate all this righteous cop propaganda bullshit #the sign the series

Atrocities US committed against PRISONERS

The US currently operates a system of slave labor camps, including at least 54 prison farms involved in agricultural slave labor. Outside of agricultural slavery, Federal Prison Industries operates a multi-billion dollar industry with ~ 52 prison factories , where prisoners produce furniture, clothing, circuit boards, products for the military, computer aided design services, call center support for private companies.

Ramping up since the 1980s, the term prison–industrial complex is used to attribute the rapid expansion of the US inmate population to the political influence of private prison companies and businesses that supply goods and services to government prison agencies. Such groups include corporations that contract prison labor, construction companies, surveillance technology vendors, companies that operate prison food services and medical facilities, private probation companies, lawyers, and lobby groups that represent them. Activist groups such as the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) have argued that the prison-industrial complex is perpetuating a flawed belief that imprisonment is an effective solution to social problems such as homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy. 

The War On Drugs, a policy of arrest and imprisonment targeting minorities, first initiated by Nixon, has over the years created a monstrous system of mass incarceration, resulting in the imprisonment of 1.5 million people each year, with the US having the most prisoners per capita of any nation. One in five black Americans will spend time behind bars due to drug laws. The war has created a permanent underclass of impoverished people who have few educational or job opportunities as a result of being punished for drug offenses, in a vicious cycle of oppression. 

In the present day, ICE (U.S._Immigration_and_Customs_Enforcement), the police tasked with immigration enforcement, operates over 200 prison camps, housing over 31,000 undocumented people deemed “aliens”, 20,000 of which have no criminal convictions, in the US system of immigration detention. The camps include forced labor (often with contracts from private companies), poor conditions, lack of rights (since the undocumented aren’t considered citizens), and forced deportations, often splitting up families. Detainees are often held for a year without trial, with antiquated court procedures pushing back court dates for months, encouraging many to accept immediate deportation in the hopes of being able to return faster than the court can reach a decision, but forfeiting legal status, in a cruel system of coercion.

Over 90% of criminal trials in the US are settled not by a judge or jury, but with plea bargaining, a system where the defendant agrees to plead guilty in return for a concession from the prosecutor. It has been statistically shown to benefit prosecutors, who “throw the book” at defendants by presenting a slew of charges, manipulating their fear, who in turn accept a lesser charge, regardless of their innocence, in order to avoid a worst outcome. The number of potentially innocent prisoners coerced into accepting a guilty plea is impossible to calculate. Plea bargaining can present a dilemma to defense attorneys, in that they must choose between vigorously seeking a good deal for their present client, or maintaining a good relationship with the prosecutor for the sake of helping future clients.

European countries. John Langbein has equated plea bargaining to medieval torture: “There is, of course, a difference between having your limbs crushed if you refuse to confess, or suffering some extra years of imprisonment if you refuse to confess, but the difference is of degree, not kind. Plea bargaining, like torture, is coercive. Like the medieval Europeans, the Americans are now operating a procedural system that engages in condemnation without adjudication.”

A grand jury is a special legal proceeding in which a prosecutor may hold a trial before the real one, where ~20 jurors listen to evidence and decide whether criminal charges should be brought. Grand juries are rarely made up of a jury of the defendant’s peers, and defendants do not have the right to an attorney, making them essentially show-trials for the prosecution, who often find ways of using grand jury testimony to intimidate the accused, such as leaking stories about grand jury testimony to the media to defame the accused. In the murders of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Tamir Rice, all of whom were unarmed and killed by police in 2014, grand juries decided in all 3 cases not to pursue criminal trials against the officers. The US and Liberia are the only countries where grand juries are still legal.

The US system of bail (the practice of releasing suspects before their hearing for money paid to the court) has been criticized as monetizing justice, favoring rich, white collar suspects, over poorer people unable to pay for their release. 

On Jan 26th, In Mississippi state penitentiary, an inmate was found hanging in his cell, in a string of deaths in the prison. This is the 12th death within a single month. 

A photo surfaced of a November 2019 training class for prison guards in west virginia, showing 34 trainees doing a nazi salute. Only 3 people have been fired. A large number of prison workers, and populations in prison towns, are white supremacists. 

A black-site interrogation warehouse in Chicago called Homan Square is notorious for the sexual abuse, torture, and disappearances of its prisoners. The main interrogator, Richard Zuley, applied torture techniques he learned at Guantanamo Bay at Homan Square. 

On Oct 25, 2014, a mentally ill inmate, Michael Anthony Kerr, at the Alexander Correctional Institution in Taylorsville, NC, died of thirst after being denied water during a 35-day solitary confinement. Prison officials have said since Kerr’s death six months ago that they would investigate the events that led to his death, but no report has been issued and officials have not said when one would be. 

On May 23rd, 2014, a mentally ill inmate at a Dade County correctional facility near Miami FL was tortured to death by prison guards. Darren Rainey was serving a two-year sentence for cocaine possession when he was forced into a locked shower by prison guards as punishment for defecating in his cell, says one inmate. Once Rainey was inside the shower, guards blasted him with scalding hot water as he begged for his life. Investigators determined that there was not enough evidence to charge the guards. 

The Crime Bill of 1994, signed into law by Bill Clinton, increased the size of the US prison industry and dealt with the problem of crime by emphasizing punishment, not prevention. It extended the death penalty to a whole range of criminal offenses, and provided $30 billion for the building of new prisons, to crack down on “super predators”, a term used by Hillary Clinton to refer to remorseless juvenile criminals. 

In the 1978 case, Houchins v. KQED, Inc. the Supreme Court ruled that the news media do not have guaranteed rights of access to jails and prisons. It ruled also that prison authorities could forbid inmates to speak to one another, assemble, or spread literature about the formation of a prisoners’ union. 

In September 1971, prison guards killed George Jackson, a black Marxist and member of the Black Panthers in San Quentin prison (who had served 10 years of an indeterminate prison sentence for a $70 robbery), after he attempted to free himself and other inmates. Outrage over this, terrible prison conditions, and mistreatment by white prison guards, caused the Attica Prison Riot, in which 33 inmates and 10 prison guards were killed, and sparked dozens of prison riots across the country. In Attica, 100 percent of the guards were white, prisoners spent fourteen to sixteen hours a day in their cells, their mail was read, their reading material restricted, their visits from families were conducted through a mesh screen, their medical care disgraceful, 75% were there as a result of plea bargaining, and their parole system inequitable. 

Many companies in the 1800s were guilty of using prison laborers, such as the Tennesee Coal Iron and Railroad Company. In 1891, the prison workers struck and overpowered the guards, and other neighboring unions came to their aid.
