Research has found that college-educated officers tend to use less force, have fewer complaints against them, and write better reports. But there is a trend of cities cutting education requirements for police in hopes of attracting more applicants.

DHS got caught on video transporting over a dozen masked agents in the back of a Penske truck and chasing after people as they fled.
The tactic seems to have come directly from the Patriot Front, which used a Penske van earlier this summer in Missouri to attack a Pride Parade.

“The liberalism that comes after the 1960s is so much smaller—its visions are smaller, its ideas of state capacity are smaller. And that does not necessarily lead inherently to neoliberalism, but the liberalism that remains seems to me to be very cramped in terms of its goals and its vision.”
