Inmates in their underwear, their heads bowed and hands zip-tied, sit cross-legged facing the wall while jail guards in riot gear train laser-pointed pepper-ball guns at the backs of their heads.

Surveying the scene as he walks through the hallway, the jail’s superintendent doles out congratulatory fist bumps and back pats.

Toronto Star · Watch: Disturbing video shows jail guards carrying out violent, hours-long retribution at MaplehurstBy Brendan Kennedy

Today in #FuckThePolice with a side of #FuckTheCourts


The abuse of process application alleged RCMP used excessive force while arresting the accused in November 2021, and that the group was treated unfairly while in custody. It asked the judge to stay the criminal contempt of court charges or to reduce their sentences based on their treatment by police.

Tammen said it would be inappropriate to stay court proceedings, but found that some of the accused's Section 7 rights— life, liberty, and security of person — were breached during the police raid.

Tammen said these rights were breached when several police officers on two different audio recordings were captured comparing Sleydo' and Sampson to orcs and ogres for wearing red hand prints painted over their mouths — a symbol that represents missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

Continued thread

Okay, well now I am just too pissed off to work on the thing I need to finish.

I really do not have time to get into the full range of 🐖 shenanigans vis-à-vis #TorontoActions and activists, including, but not limited to: arresting the wrong people when I had paint thrown on me by a racist asshole¹ and the current situation with the #Indigo11

Once upon a time, I could actually take on the role of Police Liaison at an action. Now, I'm just mama bear, and all the protesters are my cubs.

And the cops are trying to eat them.

No, little one. You are NOT going to have a "friendly chat" with that officer.

We. Do. Not. Talk. To. 🐖🐖🐖.
Not without a lawyer present.

Even about the weather.

Imagine coming to an Indigenous action, picking the lone Black person and throwing a can of white paint on her. Edited to add: He has been arrested. https://kolektiva.social/@Gigi/110934200999967739 #PaintGate (Edit Oct 3: Adding a hashtag to pull the parts together; there have been a bunch of updates, including a first appearance in court today that has been put off until the 31st of October.)

reste un collabo'. Même s'il essaye de faire croire qu'après coup, il n'adhère pas. On ne fera plus croire aux lambdas qu'un flic ne sait pas à quoi il s'expose quand il signe.
Si l'auteur de ce billet anonyme veut être intègre et droit dans ses bottes, qu'il rende arme et uniforme. Qu'il lache cette institution que les gouvernants (ses employeurs) veulent telle qu'elle et qu'il (l'auteur) veut dénoncer.
Sans ça, il n'a aucune espèce de crédibilité.
Oui: #ACAB, oui #yesallcops.

Pourquoi la "fraction"?
Parce que certains n'actent pas comme tel ?
Peut-être oui...
Mais ils taisent, font la sourde oreille, regardent ailleurs...
Une brigade de 100 flics/gendarmes.
10 qui foutent la merde.
10 complices.
80 qui tournent le dos en se taisant.
100 flics pourris.
Alors oui, il va bien falloir intégrer que #ACAB #YesAllCops .
Quand des centaines de milichiens font une haie d'honneur pour un flic mis en examen, on peut plus parler de "fraction".
