If the police don’t mention which side did it…it was the Unionist colonisers.
You can rebrand the RUC as the PSNI, but they’re still a bunch of Imperialist wankers.

#OTD in 1922 – The newly created Royal Ulster Constabulary took over the policing of Northern Ireland.
Following the partition of Ireland, it was decided to disband the RIC as an All-Ireland police force. In southern Ireland a new police force, the Civic Guard later Garda Siochana was formed, while in Northern Ireland the Royal Ulster Constabulary was established on 1 June 1922 as the police force for Northern Ireland. The RUC carried much over from the former force with a strong nucleus of former…

Northern Ireland is so normal. Literally sooo normal. Sometimes people from other countries ask me about Northern Ireland and they're shocked when I tell them how normal it is. I feel sorry for them. They'll never know normality and my heart aches for them.
#the psni are really showing their asses atm 💀 i mean we all knew they were biased but the way they just stood there while masked loyalists#went into court to intimidate a witness in a sectarian uvf murder trial. very normal.#when are we gonna stop justifying it by saying 'well at least they're not the ruc' like maybe so but that doesn't make it ok#and where's 50:50 recruitment gone? aren't we pretty much evenly split now? so shouldn't they be bringing it back?#also the fact that over double the number of catholics are arrested than protestants lmao#but we're obviously just more predisposed to crime ig#like on one hand i wanna live where my family is and be close to them. & on the other i absolutely hate that place and am so glad to be out#even when i feel positive about it something like this always happens to remind me that no we haven't moved forward that much actually 🙃

“ According to the PSNI, 26 officers are suspended amid allegations of sexual misconduct.” Societies are not going to make any real progress on combating Violence Against Women until they restructure and retrain their law enforcement.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has published its first ever action plan aimed at reducing violence against women and girls.
It commits the police to "relentlessly pursuing perpetrators" and rooting out inappropriate behaviour in their ranks.
Between 2017 and 2021, 34 women and girls across Northern Ireland were killed by men.
The Women's Aid Federation Northern Ireland welcomed the plan but said that action was also needed from Stormont.
Sarah Mason of Women's Aid said: "This is an historic day for all women and girls in Northern Ireland, finally bringing Northern Ireland into line with the rest of the UK."
A domestic abuse survivor from County Down, Jenny Hunter, said that the night she separated from her husband in August 2017 was the first she was physically attacked by him.
However, she said he had previously thrown beer around her, smashed vases and kicked and punched holes in walls.
Ms Hunter said there had been tension that day and she had texted him earlier warning him not to cause any trouble.
"He had come home that night after being out for a few drinks," she added.
"He had gone to look into my phone and came into the bedroom and said: 'That's trust for you', because I had changed the password and he couldn't get into it."
Ms Hunter told BBC News NI she remembered her children "squealing" as her husband forced her into their bedroom.
"He was sitting on my chest and put his two hands around my throat and told me that he was going to kill me, that I had drove him to this and asked me was I ready to die and it was my fault."
Ms Hunter said she was shocked and believed she was going to be killed.
"All I could think was that the children were going to be in the house while this happened and what was going to happen to them."
Jenny said her neighbours rang the police and that she and her former partner have been separated since that night.
The PSNI said that on 22 March 2018, Jenny's perpetrator was sentenced to 18 months probation.
It said he then went on to abuse his next partner and was sentenced to 10 months in prison on 11 March 2020 for offences against her.
The PSNI said women and girls were "disproportionately affected" by violence, abuse and intimidation, accounting for 78% of all victims of sexual crimes and 68% of victims of domestic abuse.
Chief Constable Simon Byrne described the publication of the plan as "a watershed moment".
He said the 40-page plan makes addressing the issue a "top priority".
'Bettering our own culture'
An advisory group is being established to oversee the progress of the PSNI's plan over the next two years.
The murder last year of Sarah Everard in London by a Metropolitan Police officer brought the issue to the fore in the UK.
It also damaged trust and confidence in policing among women and girls.
Mr Byrne said part of the plan involved "bettering our own culture", acknowledging that officer behaviour has "at times fallen short of public expectation".
According to the PSNI, 26 officers are suspended amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
Under the new plan vetting processes will be reviewed.
All frontline officers will also receive specialist training in dealing with domestic abuse incidents, which in Northern Ireland occur at a rate of one every 16 minutes.
Other action includes improving the quality of investigation files for prosecutors and prioritising the arrest of people wanted for offences involving violence against women and girls.
Sex education should be part of strategy to end violence against women
Violence against women: Men and boys urged to speak out
Domestic abuse strategy needs 'combined effort'
There will also be a new media campaign to raise awareness of drink spiking.
Mr Byrne said: "To effectively tackle complex societal issues like this we need everyone to actively champion the change that is needed.
"Policing can't end violence against women and girls on its own.
"For this to really work, to really make a change for all women and girls, we need to work in partnership with all parts of society," he added.

Men share harrowing stories of abuse at hands of partners at historic conference in Belfast
Psychological and emotional forms of abuse tend to cause a more negative impact and greater feelings of fear than physical aggression.
That has been the finding of many studies, and it was a key theme at Northern Ireland’s first conference focusing on male victims of domestic abuse.
Dr Elizabeth Bates, a psychology lecturer at the University of Cumbria, told guests that female perpetrators used coercive control and gaslighting more often than outright violence, though it should be noted that many men have also been physically and sexually abused by female and male partners.
While most of the guests at the summit were women — possibly because they make up three-quarters of Northern Ireland’s community and voluntary workforce — male victims were also in attendance.
One man who did not wish to be named described how his former partner, who he was with for a decade, took control of his finances, sleep, food and, essentially, his entire life.
“I didn’t know what to do or where to go. I was on the edge of going over the edge,” he told this newspaper.
“I didn’t know there was this support for men suffering domestic abuse.
“To be honest, I didn’t even know if I was in an abusive situation because a lot of people think it’s [just] about physical abuse.
“Call me naive, but I had accepted a lot of things as being normal, and they weren’t.”
He began working 10 to 12-hour shifts, sometimes seven days a week, because he feared going home.
“My job became my safe place. I was getting to the point where I was just going and sleeping in the car because she would come and wake me up, start arguments and tell me I would be getting no sleep that night,” he said.
“That drained me. It was hard. The person I had loved and wanted to spend the rest of my life with was treating me this way, and I just didn’t understand it.”
When the man eventually sought help in 2018, he found support was not as readily available as he had expected.
He went to his GP but found they were not a lot of help.
After that, he contacted Women’s Aid, which referred him to the Men’s Advisory Project NI (MAP), the agency that organised yesterday’s conference.
Through MAP, he was referred for free counselling sessions that he attended for 11 months.
“It was like a weight off my shoulders, just being able to talk to somebody who listened and wasn’t judgemental,” he said.
Coercive control is when a person behaves in a way which makes you feel dependent, isolated or scared.
‘Gaslighting’ is a term used to describe when someone manipulates another person, using psychological methods to make them question their sanity or powers of reasoning.
Dr Bates said many male victims of domestic abuse she interviewed had experiences with these kinds of techniques, particularly around their relationship with their children.
“She was unable to control me physically so instead controlled me using our son and my access to him,” one man said.
Legal systems and social norms can also be manipulated to this end.
One father said: “She [his former partner] regularly disobeys court orders over contact and her and her partner make regular threats to my safety in front of the children.
“The police do nothing and the court orders are not enforced by social services.”
The PSNI received 118 reports of coercive or controlling behaviour In 2021/22.
It became illegal following the passing of the Domestic Abuse Act (NI), which came into force in February 2022.
That same year, 1,297 men reported to police that they had been victims of harassment.
In many cases, a victim’s personal characteristics, such as their age, sexuality or mental capacity, will be targeted by abusive partners.
One elderly man said: “She [his former partner] convinced me I had Alzheimer’s and tried to force me to sign a legal paper to declare me incompetent.”
‘Outing’ — where a perpetrator threatens to reveal a victim’s sexuality to others, or suggests they will disclose their HIV status —is a common form of abuse in same-sex relationships.
MAP reported that 49% of gay and bisexual men have experienced at least one incident of domestic abuse since the age of 16.
Some 70% of the men the charity supports are heterosexual and have faced abuse from an intimate partner.
You can contact the Domestic and Sexual Abuse helpline (0808 802 1414), the PSNI or the Housing Executive for 24-hour support

In Northern Irish news, an unnamed 61 year old man from County Down has been arrested and charged for historical sex offences.
In a horrific PR disaster, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, Leader of the DUP, Member of Parliament for Lagan Valley (in County Down), 61 years old, has deleted all of his social media accounts on the same day this story has broken.
Terrible day to do that, Jeffrey. Surely it's complete coincidence, but it's going to cause a ton of speculation.

An Army spy operating at the heart of the IRA during the Troubles in Northern Ireland probably cost more lives than he saved, a report has found.
Operation Kenova investigated the agent known as Stakeknife.
It said speculation he had saved hundreds of lives was wrong; it was more likely between high single figures and low double figures.
It found the security forces failed to prevent some murders to try to protect their agents in the IRA.
But, the report pointed out that it was the IRA leadership that had "commissioned and sanctioned" the actions of its so-called internal security unit - of which Stakeknife was a member - and "committed brutal acts of torture and murder".
The £40m investigation took seven years to examine the activities of Stakeknife, who was Belfast man Freddie Scappaticci.
The interim report called for apologies from the UK government and Irish republican leadership on behalf of the IRA.
Lawyer Kevin Winters, who represents the families of 12 victims, said the report was "a damning indictment of the state".
"The staggering takeaway message is that the state could have intervened to save lives," he said.
"We are left with the horrendous conclusion that both state and the IRA were co-conspirators in the murder of its citizens."
The report's author, senior police officer Jon Boutcher, highlighted many failings of the security forces and the UK government, but acknowledged they were acting in an extremely stressful and violent environment.
Multiple murders
Operation Kenova linked Stakeknife to at least 14 murders and 15 abduction incidents.
Despite it being widely known that Scappaticci was Stakeknife, the Kenova Report did not officially confirm that. A further, more detailed report is due to be published by the Kenova team later this year.
However, the interim report said Stakeknife was "undoubtedly a valuable asset" to the security forces who "provided high-quality intelligence about PIRA [Provisional IRA] at considerable risk to himself".
The 208-page report added: "Albeit that his intelligence was not always passed on or acted upon and if more of it had been, he could not have remained in place as long as he did."
Mr Boutcher, who is now chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), said claims Stakeknife saved hundreds of lives were based on "unreliable and speculative" assessments.
Mr Boutcher said murders that could, and should, have been prevented were allowed to take place with the knowledge of the security forces.
'You were not mad'
"Morality and legality of agents doing any harm - with the knowledge of the state - is something that we would never, ever allow today," he said.
Mr Boutcher also referred to the decision not to confirm Stakeknife's identity in his report.
"Stakeknife's identity has been exposed to Kenova, subject to confidentiality which I remain bound by and I cannot make his name public without official authority," he said.
So far the government has refused to give such authority.
But Mr Boutcher added that in his view this position was "no longer tenable" and he expected the "government to authorise Kenova to confirm Stakeknife's identity in the final report".
Referring to Stakeknife's victims, Mr Boutcher said many of them had endured "endless delays, setbacks and unfulfilled promises in their search for the truth".
He said his report confirmed what many families had suspected - patterns of state intervention and non-intervention in the torture and murder of people accused of being state agents during the Troubles.
"You were not mad. This was happening and this should not have happened," Mr Boutcher told them.
