Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @BECTU press accreditation visible around my neck. Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".
@richfelgate - Rich Felgate
After police stopped me filming, they ripped my press pass off and handcuffed me behind my back.
@richfelgate - Rich Felgate
Even before this protester held this banner up, myself and 4 protesters were surrounded by police and stop and searched to look for "articles to commit criminal damage". They didn't find anything.
@richfelgate - Rich Felgate
Police proceeded to arrest us for "conspiracy to commit public nuisance" under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022. I was held in police custody for 18 hours and "released under investigation". #coronation #juststopoil #republic #NotMyKing #monarchy #Democracy

DOJ just released the report from its two-year investigation of the Minneapolis police department. Here's a thread of notable excerpts. This first one happened *while a DOJ investigator was on a ride-along.*

Pulling a black teen out of a car and threatening to taser him for . . . not wearing a seatbelt.
@radleybalko - Radley Balko
Can't argue with this logic. A supervisor found that some MPD cops' use of force must have been reasonable because if it wasn't reasonable force, they wouldn't have used it.
@radleybalko - Radley Balko
Read the incident, and then how the complaint was handled. The investigator was the same supervisor on the scene who failed to find any wrongdoing at the time. He then didn't bother interviewing witnesses or the complainant before clearing the cops.
@radleybalko - Radley Balko
The whiter the neighborhood, the fewer traffic stops MPD made for minor offenses. This was true even among neighborhoods with similar accident rates.
@radleybalko - Radley Balko
MPD conducts "pretextual" traffic stops of Black and Native American motorists at about six times the rate of white motorists, even though well less than 1 percent of such stops recovered guns (the main justification for conducting them).
@radleybalko - Radley Balko
Black and Native American people were far more likely to be searched during a stop, even after adjusting for stops involving similar offenses and motorist behavior.
@radleybalko - Radley Balko
After the murder of George Floyd, many MPD officers stopped recording the race of people they pull over, as required by law and policy.

The city has paid out over $60 million in police brutality settlements over the last 5 years.

Step one: Create an immensely complicated system that fails to hold bad cops accountable. Step two: Tell complainants that filing a complaint isn't worth it because it's an immensely complicated system that fails to hold bad cops accountable.

This one looks a lot like what happened to George Floyd. Two years before George Floyd. Referred by the city attorney. Documented by a city employee. Never investigated.
@radleybalko - Radley Balko
You know you have a problem when a federal court won't even grant officers qualified immunity, but your official investigation finds no violation of policy.

MPD often "disciplines" officers by referring them for "coaching," even for serious abuse. But less than a quarter of those referrals actually result in any coaching.
@radleybalko - Radley Balko
Step one: Delay, delay, delay Step two: Dismiss complaint because "reckoning period has expired."

Is This Free Speech? A college professor gets arrested for refusing to hand back a street preacher's microphone. She graphically describes HAVING AN ABORTION - "They yanked my fetus from my uterus, and I'm so happy, and I'm so grateful" She then taunts the preacher "and I earn more than you" The woman refuses to let go of the microphone, even when asked by police, so she is arrested. Was the professor exercising Free Speech? Should the officer have arrested her?

I have been informed by the @metpoliceuk that if I return to the UK I will be remanded into custody, and charged with a “hate crime.” The very unprofessional Detective Chief Inspector Marcus Shapps called me on Sunday, November 6th to speak with me about the incident where someone who appeared to be a woman came and jabbed her flag and flagstick in my face. I was told on Sunday the police would attempt to identify her and potentially charge her with common assault. I declined to file a complaint against the @BTP officer at the time — Police Sergeant 5558. Today I received a phone call from DCI Marcus Shapps, collar number 782EA, who wanted to know if I was still in the UK. He said they had made contact with the ‘woman,’ that ‘she’ is a transgender woman (an erroneous term for a man), and that I would be remanded into custody and charged with a “hate crime” if I return to the UK. I am most certainly guilty of standing quietly with a sign that says ‘Children Cannot Consent to Puberty Blockers.’ If that causes offence to someone, so be it. I pointed out to DCI Shapps how in December of 2020, the High Court of England itself declared that children cannot give informed consent to puberty blockers, and how the NHS is even putting a stop to this child abuse. I told him I would love nothing better than to face this ridiculous charge and “I’ll see you soon,” at which point DCI Shapps said to me “Is that a threat?” No, detective, it’s not a threat. It means I would be overjoyed to expose your ridiculous police service to the entire world. He then asked for my passport number so that he could inform UK border control. I declined to give it to him, and he hung up the phone. I tried to make contact several more times via phone, but the @metpoliceuk non-emergency line was down. When DCI Shapps learned that my calls were just heading to voicemail, his response was “Womp womp, too bad.” This whole thing is so absurd, I question his legitimacy but the phone number goes to the UK non-emergency line. He says he’s retiring tomorrow. When I asked for the name of the @BTP officer via text, he did not respond, but then messaged me via WhatsApp, saying “To gain PS 5558’s name you will have to travel to the UK and request it from a British Transport Police station.” I have filed a report with the @BTP for more info, and I intend to return to the UK sometime in the New Year. To the @metpoliceuk, children cannot consent to puberty blockers, and I’ll keep saying it wherever I please. Sorry you support this child abuse.
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
THIS IS SCARY Yesterday, a group of people in Scotland protested a new hate speech law. "The irony of this hateful, spiteful law coming into play on April's Fools Day..." said one of the protesters. "Criminalizing free speech in this country is absolutely disgraceful." While I was happy to see the protest, I am deeply alarmed that the Scottish government passed the law in the first place. @JK_Rowling rightly wrote on X that the law gives the government the power to arrest people who refuse to call male rapists and murderers “women” and “she” and “her” if that’s what those men demand. The Hate Crime and Public Order Act of 2021 creates a new crime for "stirring up hatred," including related to trans identity. People can be arrested for things they say in the privacy of their own home. They can be arrested for simply being "insulting." And prosecutors need only prove your stirring up of hatred was "likely" not "intended." You might think this all has nothing to do with you. You don’t live in Scotland. But it has everything to do with you. What you say online could be held as criminal hate speech in Scotland, simply by somebody reading it there. And it’s not just Scotland. In the US, pro-censorship forces hope a Supreme Court victory will let them once again ramp up censorship demands by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. EU officials are putting in place a sweeping online censorship system that far exceeds in power and scope anything attempted under Communism or fascism. And last week, European political leaders weaponized their intelligence and security agencies in order to smear everyone from German farmers to conservative politicians as “Russia-linked.” And yet the United States and EU governments pump far more money than Russia into “non-governmental” organizations like the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, the Aspen Institute, and the Atlantic Council to wage influence campaigns aimed at smearing ordinary farmers and truckers as “Russian-linked” and “far-right,” and influencing elections. To understand how ridiculous and totalitarian the EU’s focus on “foreign manipulation” is, consider the fact that, during the Cold War, the US government’s Central Intelligence Agency not only allowed Americans to read Soviet newspapers but actually translated them into English and sent them to thousands of libraries across the United States. Just think about it: do Europeans really need Russians, “Russia-linked” individuals, or “individuals echoing Moscow” to be angry about high energy prices and uncontrolled immigration? The entire “Russia influence” narrative coming from European politicians and intelligence agencies rests upon the monstrous insult that Europeans would be compliant were it not for Russians sowing discontent. This is an old political trick: characterize your enemies as foreigners. It’s also a trick of totalitarians. What’s driving all of this? Part of it is that EU politicians are trying to influence the June elections by demonizing their political opponents as puppets of Russia. But another part of it appears to be driven by genuine hatred. Just listen to Scotland First Minister @HumzaYousaf condemning the Scottish government on racial terms. “Why are we so surprised by the most senior positions in Scotland filled by those who are white?" he said. "Lord President — white. Every high court judge — white!” Humza suggests that the reason for all of this is because Scottish people are racist. But the real reason is that 95% of Scottish people are white. The fact that Humza, a nonwhite Muslim, is the highest-ranking Scottish politician is a sign of how non-racist the Scottish people are. For Humza to reach the top political job in Scotland and insist that the reason he’s so rare is because the Scottish people are racist is itself hateful, and pathological. The bad news is that the censors are on the offensive and we are on the defensive. In the US, Europe, Scotland, Germany, Ireland, Canada, and Brazil, an alliance of government agencies, government-funded think tanks, and corporate media are demanding more censorship, whether through laws like the one enacted in Scotland or through executive actions by agencies like the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FBI. The good news is we are starting to find our footing. We have been proud to publish investigations that have uncovered government disinformation and censorship demands in Germany, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Canada, and Brazil. These investigations reveal the same cast of characters, including intelligence and security agencies, mainstream news media, and ostensibly “non-governmental” organizations that happen to be heavily funded by governments. As importantly, we can expose the hatred behind the hate speech policies, and continue to point out that the solution to hate speech is free speech, not censorship. The way to counter hate is to do what Darryl Davis did, which was persuade KKK members to see him as a human being, and to give up their white robes. Davis will be the first person to tell you that he couldn’t have done his work with censorship, only with freedom of speech. There’s much we need to do...

This is outrageous totalitarianism and must be condemned by all Western political leaders, no matter where you sit on the political spectrum. Police officers in Brussels shut down a conservative political gathering while former UK politician @Nigel_Farage was on stage. This is the kind of thuggish gangsterism that we rightly associate with Nazism and Communism. Shame on the police and mayor of Brussels for this totalitarian tactic! "The police document," reports The Telegraph, "suggested speeches by speakers including Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman could lead to public disorder or display racist and homophobic views." Apparently, the police have, for now, allowed the conference to go on. But they have blocked any new people from entering.

"And yet, because they're questioning ever closer union, because they're questioning globalism, they're literally being shut down. "This is like the old Soviet Union. No alternative view allowed. "I tell you what. I might have had my reservations about the way the Conservative government have carried out Brexit. If anything convinced me we did the right thing, it was what happened in that place this morning."

"There's a police line outside the door. If we leave, we won't be allowed back into the venue." This is a direct violation of "Article 12 - Freedom of assembly and of association" in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, which is the EU's Bill of Rights. It reads, "1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association with others." The mayors of Brussels and Brussels City, @PhilippeClose & @emir_kir are breaking the law. They are thugs and should be removed from office.

They're clearly monitoring him via signals intelligence of some sort. -Cop says the man has "freedom of speech" but the presence of the cop proves he doesn't. -In 2023, almost 13k people were arrested for social media posts in the UK and almost all were native born. #UnitedKingdom #PoliceState #cops #england #tyranny #police #twotierbritain #TwoTierJustice
