2024/07/18

A new investigation into police use of tasers follows how they’ve been used specifically in response to 911 mental health calls. The research shows that they can cause death as well as long term harm, and also that they are deployed disproportionately against Black people. The investigation was done by MindSite News, a nonprofit journalism site dedicated to reporting on mental health in the U.S., exposing rampant policy failures and spotlighting efforts to solve them.

In San Francisco, police are now forced to minimize pretextual traffic stops despite the police union’s now-failed attempt to maintain them. This is after the San Francisco Police Commission in February committed the department to minimize police ability to pull people over for minor violations. Meanwhile, San Francisco’s police watchdog agency, the Department of Police Accountability, is apparently a hostile work environment according to Nine of the department’s 13 investigators.

2024/07/17

As Kenyan troops landed in Haiti with U.S. and multinational backing on June 25, protests exploded in Nairobi as young people rose up against an unpopular national finance bill that would impose further taxes on the Kenyan population in order to pay down the country’s extraordinary foreign debt obligations. It is estimated that in the first 2 weeks of the uprisings in Nairobi, 40 civilians were killed by Kenyan forces as the police violently suppressed the protests. Meanwhile, this week, a second

2024/07/16

Then, in Oakland, the crime is up! Or is it? A San Francisco Chronicle investigation is raising questions about how crime statistics are reported in Oakland, and claims that the statistics released by police “inevitably, and at all times, create the impression that Oakland’s crime trends — up or down — are better than reality.” The investigation is titled “Oakland has been publishing misleading crime data for years”, and it is written by our guest, breaking news and enterprise reporter for the SF

2024/07/16

A new investigation by ProPublica has uncovered a shadowy non-profit organization that problematically, and probably illegally, is pushing a hyper conservative right wing agenda in this country that very specifically aims to center the church in all parts of society. The group describes its membership as a “private, confidential, invitation-only community of high-net-worth Christian families” with a minimum net worth of $25 million. The organization is called Ziklag, which itself is a biblical

On today’s episode we get a report from four Bay Area activists who just returned from the West Bank doing protective presence work with the International Solidarity Movement, an attempt to deter Israel’s continued colonial land grabs in the area, where the zionist state has taken more Palestinian land in the past 9 months than in any similar time period since the early 1990s. The International Solidarity Movement, or ISM, brings in volunteers from around the world to offer what they call a

A recent Federal Appeals Court ruling allows students to sue the U.S. government for luring them to Farmington University, a fake institution that Immigration and Customs Enforcement incorporated in 2016, apparently to entrap international students who arrived legally in the U.S. on F-1 visas in an illegal “pay-to-stay” scheme. In the process, after collecting around six million dollars of student tuition, federal agents arrested at least 250 of the students who had enrolled at the fake university,

Over the past two months, the city of Vallejo has paid out $672,000 in settlements to victims of excessive force lawsuits filed against Vallejo police Officer Robert DeMarco. According to the Vallejo Sun, the lawsuits stem from two incidents in 2017 and 2018 where Officer DeMarco struck two men with his baton while they were lying on the ground.

Law Enforcement in this country kills approximately 1,200 people every single year and yet the names of many are never said or known except to their families and friends. What’s more, law enforcement agencies and other state actors harm our community in a myriad of ways that also go unnoticed like profiling, assaulting and wrongfully incarcerating our people. If we don’t know its happening – then we can’t fight back. We cant adequately organize a response. So, every week on Law & Disorder we do a

The International Solidarity Movement or ISM, which was an active protective presence in Palestine for many years in the earlier 2000s has returned. The perhaps-best known activist from that earlier round of International Solidarity Movement protective work was Rachel Corrie, a name many of our listeners are familiar with, because while putting her body in between an Israeli bulldozer at the home of a Palestinian family she was staying with in Rafah, the bulldozer drove over her, crushing her to

As Israel continues into its now more than 9 month violent onslaught on Gaza, some of the Palestinians who’ve been displaced from their homes are seeking refuge elsewhere, but leaving Gaza is no simple or cheap task, and fundraising is particularly hard when your access to electricity, internet, and ultimately, community, is not reliable.

As the summer continues to heat up, legislators in Sacramento are finally moving forward with protections for workers who work in overheated indoor conditions across the state. The rules have been caught up in limbo following the state prison system’s concern that it would simply be too expensive to renovate their facilities to make it cool enough for safe working conditions. The rules have now moved forward through the State’s Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board for all hot indoor
