#state sanctioned murder

[allthecanadianpolitics]

The family of a woman shot by an officer in Edmonton during a wellness check said her death was unnecessary, as the number of police shootings across Canada show little sign of relenting over the past four years. "I see my daughter's death as being a result of a complete mishandling of the tools available to law enforcement in the application of dealing with mental health issues," the family of the woman, who has not been publicly identified, said in a statement from their lawyer, Tom Engel. Edmonton police have said officers were called for a welfare check earlier this month. There were risks the woman may harm herself, so police say officers entered the apartment. There was a confrontation and the woman was shot. The woman's family said that had the police approach been gradual and gentle, she would have understood the nature of the visit and would still be alive.

BBC News: South Wales Police apology 70 years after hanging injustice

BBC News - South Wales Police apology 70 years after hanging injustice

This is why I will never support the death penalty. One innocent person executed is one too many and we all know there have been more than one over the years. I also staunchly believe that no one has the right to take a life unless it's a war situation, or an immediate self defense situation. The death penalty is state sanctioned murder!

legitimately insane how to some people, "we should wipe out this ethnic group that we've violently constrained to a ghetto because they're just genetically more violent and dangerous" is a reasonable and justifiable statement but it's Nazi Rhetoric to say something like, "it's bad that Israeli civilians are being killed but acknowledging that as tragic includes acknowledging that the almost daily state-sanctioned murder of civilians by the Israeli government is also tragic and unacceptable"

btw guys speaking of Nazi shit - can we check in, alongside what's been done to Palestinians in the last 75 years, what's the Israeli government's take on the Azerbaijani government's newest round of ethnic cleansing of Armenians? oh are the Israeli government's actions maybe not determined by Jewish identity, but by a commitment to colonial supremacy which puts them on the same page as other violently genocidal states like Azerbaijan, the US, and the UK? god can you Even Imagine?

(framing speaking against Israeli war crimes as inherently antisemitic requires understanding the Israeli state as representing all Jewish people, when it doesn't even represent all Israelis.

framing Israeli war crimes as synonymous with Jewish identity is pretty fucked up if we're being honest. I don't think that controlling water and power and movement for a captive population and shooting children dead for throwing stones is an inherent value of Judaism, any more than I think the torture carried out at Guantanamo Bay is an inherent value of Christianity - in both cases they're atrocities carried out by a far right genocidal government using religious identity as a shield.

Calling statements like "Israel is committing genocide against the people it's displaced" inherently antisemitic is doing more to further the idea that all Jewish people are associated with Israel than saying "the Israeli government is doing war crimes," which is a statement of fact about a country that exists and does war crimes. Is criticism of Israel as a nation often used as cover for antisemitism? Absolutely. Does that mean the Israeli government isn't doing literal war crimes repeatedly, on record, while talking publicly about scrubbing an ethnic group off the map? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh well in the last 48 hours they've definitely cut off water and power to almost 600,000 civilians and allegedly used white phosphorus against civilians so in an extremely factual and unambiguous way yeah man those are Literal War Crimes whoever does them.)

#red said #sorry man saying 'it's bad to do genocide and war crimes' doesn't actually mean 'I'm happy when Jewish people die' #it means 'there is a context to Palestinian militants attacking Israelis which involves Palestinians being killed wounded or imprisoned #very nearly every day by the Israeli state and settlers. so no you can't treat a Palestinian attack on Israel as an unprecedented tragedy #without also recognising that Israeli forces have repeatedly visited attacks of similar magnitude on Palestine which is ALSO tragic #as well as the regular state-sanctioned murder of over 200 Palestinians in the 9 months BEFORE the Palestinian attack on Saturday #It means 'Palestinian lives don't matter less than Israeli lives' not 'Israeli lives don't matter' #this week is literally the FIRST TIME SINCE RECORDS BEGAN that more Israeli lives have been lost than Palestinian #bc for every year since 2000 orders of magnitude more palestinians than Israelis have been killed in this war #you don't get to say 'it's only bad when X ethnic group is killed it's GOOD to kill Y ethnic group' then accuse OTHERS of genocide apologis #it is legitimately a tragedy for Israeli civilians to be killed and wounded en masse. the people are not the nation. #but it's not less of a tragedy for Palestinians to have been killed and wounded en masse week after week for decades. #and when peaceful protest gets you shot and bombed and acting against the military gets you shot and bombed #and just existing doing nothing at all gets you shot and bombed. living near someone accused of terrorism. looking for your fucking cat. #when you're getting shot and bombed daily whatever you do. it's not surprising that sometimes people move to violence against civilians. #because as people from Gaza have said. better to die fighting for survival than die on your knees waiting. #which like. I'm not making a moral judgement one way or the other bc i am intrinsically disgusted by mass killing. as we all should be. #and this might be the movement which liberates Palestine and it might be the excuse which allows Israel to finish Palestine #and either way hundreds of people are dead on both sides and however you slice it that's a fucking tragedy #but we cannot. treat it as if Hamas' strike began the violence. and ignore the 200+ Palestinians killed by the IDF this year beforehand #Palestinian lives matter as much as Israeli lives. 700 Israeli citizens dead is a tragedy. 600 Palestinians dead is a tragedy. #and if you lay out the numbers from this weekend alone you can pretend that Israelis are getting decimated by Palestine. #but to do that you have to ignore the facts that for every 1 Israeli killed in the past decade 3 Palestinians die. #and that Israeli deaths happen in occasional outbursts of violence while Palestinian deaths happen every week #whether or not Hamas or any other Palestinian faction initiates violence

If you, a human with a functioning heart and a functioning brain, see a McDonalds near you full of customers...well first of all my condolences, and second, consider reminding those people what McDonalds did and is doing and why it is one of the foremost boycott targets in the first place.

To cover their own butts, Canada seeks to remove the appearance of complicity. A little late. The damage from their weapons of war have already been done.

Are 70+ year old bombs even going to work? Mass malfunctions would be what they deserve.

i am once again asking-- actually no longer asking. i am demanding y’all to stop drawing basira as a hijabi with zero fucking thought lmao

why are you making the violent white supremacist cop who is directly responsible for at least dozens of deaths muslim. especially why are you making her the only muslim on your tma lineup. y’all do not have any thoughts in ur head do you?

none of you are actually depicting a muslim character. ur just slapping on a hijab and thinking ur done lmao.

why do you depict her as a hijabi and then draw her drinking alcohol? why do you depict her with a hijab and then draw her wearing clothing that doesn’t follow hijab? obviously every muslim dresses differently and engages with their religion differently but this is so often clearly drawn by non swana/non muslim ppl who are giving zero thought to anything about her.

and even if you were putting any thought into her religion beyond “uwu diversity points let’s slap a headscarf on the cop” it would STILL be extremely shitty for y’all to make the violent white supremacist killer cop who regularly enabled, excused, and justified police brutality for years into ur only muslim character

swana ppl and our religions don’t exist for your brownie points<3<3 white ppl learn to be normal about cop characters challenge

#tma #the magnus archives #basira hussain #fandom critical #fandom crit #tma crit #the magnus archives crit #racism #fandom racism #police brutality ment #quasartalks #'oh but basira has an arabic name' u realize that's part of the fucking problem right. that u see 'arab' and automatically assume 'muslim.' #also stop making the killer cops queer. #they're not ur badass uwu lesbians #they're violent white supremacist state sanctioned murderers #you pieces of shit lmao #stop making the killer cop a butch lesbian. #why do u associate butchness with violence #u do realize the extremely awful history between queer ppl particularly BUTCH ppl and cops right #u do realize daisy canonically picked the nickname daisy because of its femininity right #the uwu-ification of white supremacist murderers in this fandom absolutely has to stop #do queer/poc/muslim cops exist? yes. #is it often an extremely complicated subject? yes #but do any of y'all white bitches slapping on uwu diversity onto these characters ever actually think abt it? no #anyway stop making the violent murderer muslim <3 stop making the violent murderer butch <3 #fuck you <3 #also to be clear. this is also heavily on jonny for making the only canon main character of color a cop. fuck that #why is the only person on ur cast with a nonwhite name a violent killer cop. or even just a cop. huh. why'd u do that. #main cast** i know there's other characters of color. but in terms of MC's. we get a cop.

I actually cannot believe in the year of 2023 that we are still parroting this idea that ANY kind of abuse is bad because it's gross/offensive to one's delicate sensibilities and not because it FUCKING HARMS PEOPLE.

Like, I'm sorry if any part of your so-called moral compass hinges on the idea that gross things are evil by the sin of being gross, then you are operating under far-right rhetoric.

Like for example the whole "gays are grooming our kids." They don't actually give a shit if kids are being *hurt.* They just think gay people are *gross* and therefore *evil.* Also that kids are property but that's a whole entire other can of worms that I don't have the emotional energy for rn.

If you function under hyper-conservative rhetoric, please leave. You are not a leftist. You're not even like... center-right. I feel like some of yall need to read why nazis believed what they did was right. And exactly how that kind of ideology can worm its way into modern political discourse. Fascist creep is real and will always be until the very moment we shut down the foundations that uphold these absurd ideas. Until we restructure society and actually think about who such ideas benefit most.

I don't expect it to happen in my lifetime, but I want to at least think of a better world. Where the same ideology that killed so many people, that destroyed so much knowledge and advancement and human resilience and love, has no place.

#naziism #morality and politics #tw grooming mention #tw abuse mention #been there lived that got the silly scars #but wanna know what ive learned so far? #fascists are bad. abusers are bad. in the same way that religion justifies 'sin' of its own members #fascism justifies so-called 'degeneracy'- usually abuse- by claiming its to protect from other degeneracy #(like having an autistic family member or daring to be in a community with someone of a diff race) #same apples different orchard #the point stands that it operates on the hypocritical desire to eliminate all that disgusts you and in doing so be disgusting and therefore #immoral- yourself #like the executioner that must die for murdering murderers. except executioners arent killed like that. because apparently its not murder if #its state sanctioned #sigh.

so funny that my friend who describes themselves as a 'centrist', when faced with a choice, picks the most frothing at the mouth reactionary answer possible

#calls themselves anti-state but supported the death penalty until i described it as state sanctioned murder #is trans and has a uterus but doesnt support bodily autonomy in order to 'punish' people so that they can 'learn' #really makes you think about centrism as an ideology 🤔🤔 #sam.txt

[sqweegee]

sorry last post i’m gonna make on the subject “i don’t believe in revenge killing pedos/abusers” I DOOOOOOO ‼️ GET EM

#against state sanctioned murder/death penalty but i think if you hurt somebody in that way and they wanna get you for it. umm they should #and they should get away with it too #ask to tag
