Just a thought but maybe we should be contacting our local police departments

[Libertas]

And asking what plans do they have to protect existing medical facilities who take care of Women from what is the certain violent deadly attacks from the right, from conservatives, all conservatives hint hint.

Can’t word it that way of course, but it would be very simple to ask them if they understand that this is coming and are they preparing for it.

I will be doing this myself soon.

I mean we understand now of course that anywhere it is legal, right wingers, the republican party, conservatives, all conservatives hint hint, will see it as murder and will start attacking people and Women and doctors and their families.

Also, appears many new voters will vote, young folks who are furious about Roe, so what will the GOP do to stop them from voting?

Not will they, just how, maybe if we knew we could do something about it.

It's always good to stay in touch with your city police department. Most all cities have some kind of flyers that give details about the goings on. Whether it's regular participation meetings between police and community, or, as something as simple as a bike safety program for children, you can participate. Or to make it easy to just check up on them. Check out the city web site. There should be a section for police news/events.

Got one, already.

It’s called Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.

But we already know their plans.

LAPD treatment of journalists denounced, again, after abortion rights protest downtown - LA Times

According to Times reporters, witnesses’ videos and interviews with other media members on the ground, journalists were pushed, struck with batons, forced out of areas where they had a right to observe police activity and blocked from entering other areas where police and protesters were clashing and arrests were being made.

The cops enforce fascist rulings like Friday’s, just as the cops enforced segregation laws. They don’t protect us from them.

Dunno if they would, or not.

The cops can't be reformed, despite your loyalty to the idea of the cops.

Drug Disposal Program
Alert New Richmond

Defund all of these and put these programs in the hands of people without badges and guns. I get that authoritarian conservatives don't think so, but they are better-trained and better-equipped to handle social matters.

There's no reason to trust rightwing authoritarian faith in the cops.
Next question.

And yet, if it hadn't been for the cops Trump could very well have been still in power.

[carmenjonze]

By the way, bradman, I don't live in this random city you're talking about. I live in this city.

https://sfist.com/police-brutality/

You also don't live in a major city as an African American, as a queer person, as a woman with a PD that was just caught using DNA information to arrest a reported rape victim.

I get that police brutality doesn't matter to you except that it sullies the reputation of the cops. So for you, these matters are strictly abstractions.

For us, they are not abstractions, and one more thing to navigate, be it in a big city or f'ed up suburb or even worse, in a rural area.

Besides the money they rightfully earn, police aren't owed anything for doing their actual job. They did their job.

You're siding with the supposed back the blue people who killed and abused those officers.

Your confusion is showing.

I don't care about your supposed ignore button you keep talking about in this ridiculous passive-aggressive way.

All you need to remember is, I'm not ignoring you, so be advised.

So in case you need a reminder about the city I actually live in, this is what women who are rape survivors have to contend with in this city.

Lol and now I'm supposed to call the local PD hotline to ask what they're doing to protect women after Friday's ruling.

Really? Lol, okay.
