Police claim that after one officer "touched a pill without gloves," somehow this caused multiple cops to lose consciousness requiring hospitalization for an overdose, and a nurse who treated one of the cops also was treated for an overdose.
The only thing these cops overdosed on was their own propaganda, causing them to have panic attacks.
Sometimes I find myself saying something like "I'm too old for this shit." And then it leads to a chain of inquiry about are the Lethal Weapon films copaganda? #acab
Like, where do you draw the line on copaganda? Are the Keystone Cops... copaganda? They were at the time. Andy Grifith is blatant #copaganda it just served a very different purpose from SVU. Back then the goal was to normalize the police state, its ok, the tv said, those guys are harmless.
#Copaganda im Sinne der Kolleg:innen: Die erste Pressemitteilung der ermittelnden #Polizei#Bochum nach dem Tod von Ibrahim Bary in #Mülheim lässt erheblich an der "Unabhängigkeit" der Ermittlungen zweifeln. Ein kurzer Thread 1/
Es beginnt mit einem Verweis auf die Erstmeldung der beschuldigten(!) #Polizei#Essen. Dort wird bereits das Framing im Sinne der Beschuldigten gesetzt: Es gab eine "dynamische Lage", die Gewaltanwendung war notwendig, die Polizist:innen sowohl körperlich wie auch psychisch verletzt. #copaganda 2/
Dieses Framing mit der unbedingten Notwendigkeit der Eskalation und Schuldzuweisung an den Betroffenen wird dann nochmal in eigenen Worten wiederholt und somit vor Abschluss der Ermittlungen bestätigt. 3/ #copaganda
Den Tod von Ibrahim Bary schildert man wie einen Unfall: Er "wurde behandlungs- und reanimationspflichtig", die Todesursache sei angeblich unklar. Den offensichtlichen Zusammenhang der tödlichen Wirkung des Tasers und der "erheblichen Vorerkrankung" will man nicht sehen. 4/ #copaganda
Um ihn weiter zu diskreditieren wird Ibrahim vorgeworfen, sein Alter und seinen Namen verschleiert zu haben. Ebenso sei er "mehrfach polizeilich in Erscheinung getreten". Das alles ist weder nachprüfbar noch für den Einsatz ausschlaggebend. Aber es diskreditiert den Betroffenen. 6/ #copaganda
Gewerkschaft der Polizei Berlin hat diese #Petition gestartet und richtet sie an Iris Spranger, Senatorin für Inneres Berlin und Nancy Faeser, Bundesinnenministerin.

Kabinett billigt Reform: Bundespolizei bekommt mehr Rechte
Das Kabinett hat die lange umstrittene Reform des Bundespolizeigesetzes gebilligt. Danach sollen die Beamten neuen Zugriff auf Telefondaten zur Überwachung bekommen und mehr Befugnisse für den Einsatz von Drohnen.
But even though potential harm from reality policing is neither abstract nor unlikely—a new study from a [#Harvard#PublicPolicy#researcher found that #LivePD cameras increase arrests for low-level “quality-of-life” offenses that ended up targeting lower-income communities by nearly 20 percent—they receive a fraction of the attention from #copaganda critics as scripted #police TV. ]
A #PawPatrol writer must have experienced severe eagle-related trauma as a child. It’s bizarre how often a huge, aggressive bald eagle appears out of nowhere and wreaks havoc for no apparent reason.
So a serious question: what is the moral stance on streaming a game like a Law and Order game? Like is it cool if I had a warning about copaganda and making sure my acab stance is known? Or is it still too morally bad? I don't even know if I'd want to stream a game like that, I just thought of it.
Neustart bei der Polizei mit Mitte vierzig? Kein Problem! 👮🏻♂️
Als ältester Rekrut beim Los Angeles Police Department tauscht John sein gemütliches Kleinstadtleben in Pennsylvania gegen einen Neuanfang in Los Angeles.
I am disappointed but not surprised that #CitiesSkylines2 has the same disappointing "if there's crime, just plop down a police station" approach to the criminal justice system. Sure, they added the ability to limit police stations to specific districts and now prisons can be used for prison labor to boost manufacturing, but those are the opposite of what I want games to be doing. I want at least some of these games to be showing off alternatives to the current model, or at the very least spewing less #copaganda.
Honestly though, the most disappointing of the bunch is still 1-1-2 Operator. It's a game where you are a dispatcher for emergency services and you get to manage squads of police, fire, and medical. That includes hiring staff, buying equipment, and some level of influence over how they respond. You legitimately have incentives in gameplay to equip most of your cops with tasers instead of guns and leave your SWAT team at the station when a police horse could address the issue just as well to save money.
Alas, the devs sided with All Lives Matter (at least partially in response to parts of their player base having people vocally demanding it). So instead of doing the incredibly natural outgrowth of what their system and mechanics already did by creating separate traffic enforcement, mental health services, and detective agencies to show how a city could work with a police force 1/10th the size, they went another way. The next expansions included civil unrest (adding terrorism and riot control) then a zombie apocalypse. [full disclosure: they did push back to do some good covid stuff]
It's particularly depressing because the big gimmick of 1-1-2 Operator over its predecessor is that it used data from Open Street Maps so you can play in over 10,000 real world cities, some of which with 3D mapping. They had the opportunity to let people try to defund police in their home town in a video game but went in a different direction for sales.
I really want the game that could have been. #VideoGames can be a way to explore the world in a way that lets us imagine better alternatives to the status quo. Reinforcing that crime just naturally appears and that it can be thwarted with greater force traps us in a shitty mindset.
This short film — the fourth in a series named after the exhibition and produced by Zealous, Truthout and Teen Vogue — focuses on the concept of “copaganda,” or police-centered media coverage and propaganda. It explains how journalists and media outlets — sometimes inadvertently — help police and prosecutors amplify misleading narratives around crime and violence at the expense of community health and safety. #copaganda #crime #media #news #Truthout
