2 stories from this week - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are 11x more likely to be searched by Victorian cops than white people, and police are instituting a six-month period of warrantless searches across the Melbourne CBD.

Who do you think they'll be harrassing?

Jaquie Thomson was assaulted at her father's memorial service, leaving her with two black eyes and a brain injury. Instead of dealing with the perpetrator, police arrested Jaquie. Check out Nina Funnell's infuriating article on police misidentification of predominant aggressors (link in below).

If any of us chased down and shot somebody *for wearing a hoodie* we would go down for manslaughter or murder. When the cops do it, they face no charges at all.

If Chris Minns stubbed his toe, he'd say the answer is more police powers.

Cops aren't the solution to racism, they're the problem.

It's already a crime to incite hatred based on race, but the cops didn't care - in fact they approved the Form 1 for the rally!

People sometimes suggest tranquiliser guns as a "less lethal" weapon for police. Our new article explains why that's a bad idea.

With police recently shooting rubber bullets at anti-racist protesters in Naarm/Melbourne, it's worth brushing up on the history and dangers of the weapon.

New article - police and unions!

Police and labour unions have a contradictory relationship. A key role of police has been to break strikes, harass and even kill union members. At the same time, in many jurisdictions police are highly unionised themselves.

Here's the full judgement from Tuesday's strip-search case.
A bit that stood out to me was the cop who claimed Meredith said “I had a smoke with a joint this morning”, an odd phrase that she denies ever saying. The judge accepted that she didn't say that.
