Police "unions" (inadvertently) making the case for detasking and defunding the police: “Our members are not medically trained. They’re often dealing with issues because the health care system or social services . . . aren’t dealing with the issue.” lfpress.com/news/local-new…
"Context is important here because there is a massive divide between the political rhetoric and promises of government leaders, on the one hand, and the RCMP’s actions on the other." – @Pam_Palmater breachmedia.ca/rcmp-still-cle…

RCMP still clearing Indigenous lands for corporate interests ⋆ The Breach
Instead of criminalizing Indigenous peoples defending the climate and water, Canada should be taking our lead
Proud to support this resolution tomorrow @cupenat convention. As a member of @IndJewishVoices I know that my Judaism has always taught me to stand with those under oppression and fight for their liberation. Thanks @PalestineLabour for this great fact sheet! #Palestinewillbefree
"Disaffiliating from agents of the state that brutalize Black, Indigenous, and racialized community and union members is the necessary next step." #canlab #DefundThePolice briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/view/…
NEW: Amid 1,000+ arrests at #FairyCreek, researchers investigate the arm of the RCMP that enforces resource extraction injunctions in B.C. Through interviews and ATI requests, here's what we now know about the RCMP's Community-Industry Response Group: briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/view/…
Indigenous activist Skyler Williams succinctly ties these back together when he says, “Injunctions are used almost exclusively against Indigenous Peoples and unions. It's important we have solidarity in fighting them.” ourtimes.ca/article/talkin…
This is prohibited under international human rights law, Indigenous law, why is this acceptable in Canada with a vile smirk?
1/ RCMP Dump Drinking Water at #CoyoteCamp Officer Charney clearly enjoys his job. Here we see him emptying water cisterns yesterday and threatening to arrest anyone that tries to stop him. #RCMPofftheYintah #AllOutForWedzinKwa
For-profit jails and "corrections services" (in this case ankle bracelet monitoring) are dangerous, but make no mistake so are public ones. Unions must work to eliminate the prison industrial complex not to protect and expand it. #DefundThePolice #canlab opseu.org/news/opseu-sef…
My partner was followed, tackled, and wrongfully arrested by plainclothes police after attending an anti-homelessness press conference a couple weeks ago. Recovery has been challenging, but she very bravely wrote this account of what happened. #topoli thestar.com/opinion/contri…
"Rather than depend on mainstream political parties to abolish or defund the police, we must commit to movements that focus on decriminalizing survival, resourcing mutual aid, and building alternatives to policing and criminalization" breachmedia.ca/are-politician…

Are politicians brave enough to imagine a society without police violence? ⋆ The Breach
At their best, party platforms “play it safe” by emphasizing reform rather than defunding the police.
"Or perhaps Corrections Canada’s history of failed changes suggests that the prison system can’t be reformed but should be replaced: from an outdated vision of punishment to a community-based strategy..." breachmedia.ca/anti-black-rac…

Anti-Black racism in Canadian prisons remains rampant, despite government pledges ⋆ The Breach
Systemic racism is built into Canada’s prison system, but federal parties have little to offer incarcerated Black Canadians and their families.
"It is evident that the prison system does not work and that people usually come out worse than they went in. It is evident that people are targeted and criminalized based on race and social status." Prisoners' voices featured in the new @briarpatchmag briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/view/…

The Movement to De-Cop the Campus
Students, educators and staff across the University of California system are organizing to abolish campus police.
Police are regularly called into public libraries to remove patrons experiencing homelessness, but some librarians are pushing to end that. On the librarian abolitionist movement to get police funding out of library budgets - with @flexlibris inthesetimes.com/article/no-pol…
