1/x Brief thread on economic exploitations and hegemonies cops perpetuate. Each tweet has source, then summary of takeaways from that source. List isn't comprehensive, just an intro for anyone unfamiliar. The thread's as concise as I can make it without sacrificing content #ACAB

36 hours later and no mention of the illegal Israeli settlers we all saw on camera attacking her. No mention of Israel whatsoever. Pathetic stuff here.
Heidi Levine, photojournalist for @wapo suffered serious injuries from vicious & cowardly attack. Heidi is US Citizen, clear ID as journalist. Details of who under investigation, but those who attacked unarmed reporter should spend YRS in prison. We have called for a full investigation, arrest, and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law to whoever participated in this. Attacking a female photographer is despicable act of terror carried out by masked cowards. Dishonorable act of senseless violence.

There is no such thing as qualified immunity from *me*
🚨A New Orleans cop made “KISSY NOISES” to check a family’s yard for dogs... then fired THREE SHOTS into a 16-WEEK-OLD PUPPY who ran up to him WAGGING HIS TAIL...
...and even though a JURY found he VIOLATED that family’s rights, he got QUALIFIED IMMUNITY!!!!
Yes, you read that right.
A jury said what he did was unreasonable, and he still walked.
The puppies name was Apollo, he was a 16-week-old rescue puppy.
On April 10th, 2021, neighbors called police over an argument at Derek Brown and Julia Barecki-Brown’s home.
Officer Derrick Burmaster showed up, in his own words, he made “kissy noises” to see if there was a dog behind the fence.
When he heard a bark, he DREW HIS GUN.
His partner tapped him on the shoulder to signal they should leave the yard. The partner walked back out the gate.
Burmaster stayed, Apollo ran toward him and according to the court record, Apollo never barked, growled, jumped, bared his teeth, or lunged.
Burmaster covered his crotch with one hand and fired THREE TIMES with the other.
Julia ran out screaming, “How could you sh00t a puppy?”
Apollo D*ED in his family’s arms.
...this wasn’t the first time he did it either
Police records show Burmaster fatally SH0T another dog back in 2012.
NOPD’s own investigators said Apollo posed NO threat.
They noted he never considered his Taser or just not sh00ting the dog.
Multiple internal reviews called the shooting “UNJUSTIFIED.”
Then the family sued... and in July 2023, department leadership CLEARED HIM of wrongdoing.
In June 2025, a federal jury found he acted in an “objectively unreasonable manner" and that same jury handed him QUALIFIED IMMUNITY.
The family appealed.
On July 14th of 2026, the Fifth Circuit AFFIRMED it.
The bodycam footage CLEARLY shows this was unjustified...
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!!!!!!

Video of masked Israeli settlers striking European diplomats and elected officials near Taybeh, a Christian village in Palestine. The 78-year-old French mayor Bernard Baudoux was thrown to the ground and beaten with iron bars.
Make no mistake: If the Israeli government wanted to put an end to this, they could within minutes. They don't.
Just like Biden pretended that he wanted a ceasefire, but in reality worked tirelessly to enable Israel's genocide.
They are playing the same trick on us again.

Y’all remember when Israel bombed Church of Saint Porphyrius in Gaza, 1 of the oldest churches in the world, w a history dating back to the 5th century?
Palestinians, including children, were sheltering there. At least 18 were killed.
Spare us the fake outrage, baby killers

Last night, Israeli police detained a Palestinian bride in Al-Ramla, central occupied Palestine, and took her to a police station shortly before her church wedding ceremony, reportedly after fireworks were set off outside the church.
According to political activist Ghassan Munir, the detention disrupted the wedding for around an hour as relatives and community figures went to the station to demand her release.
He described the detention as an act of pressure on the Palestinian Arab community and an intrusion into its daily life and celebrations.

Breaking | Palestinian detainee Ahmad Zahir Humaidat, 45, from Jalazone refugee camp, has died in Israeli custody, family sources confirmed.
Since October 2023, human rights organizations and news reports have documented systematic torture, starvation, and severe physical abuse against thousands of Palestinian prisoners under the directive of far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who has reportedly participated directly in prison assaults.

Every night, Israeli soldiers fire bullets at the tents of displaced Palestinians for entertainment, and Palestinian civilians are killed day after day while sleeping inside their tents.
Tonight, an innocent little girl Misk Al-Dalo was killed, becoming yet another victim of Israeli brutality in Gaza.
Please share this video in every language so the world can see what is happening and this senseless killing of Palestinian lives can finally stop.

Palestinian-American farmer Haitham Nawabit, 47, suffered severe head injuries requiring approximately 200 stitches after Israeli settlers brutally assaulted him while he was harvesting olives in Burqa, northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
Nawabit said that around 50 settlers attacked Palestinian farmers with stones and clubs, knocking him unconscious.
When he briefly regained consciousness, he found five settlers repeatedly beating him with sticks before he passed out again. The assault left him with multiple injuries to his head, hands, legs and back.
