The Progressive Wing Posted on November 1, 2016 by grapevinesNovember 1, 2016

Good news…hundreds and hundreds of Minnesotans protested, wrote emails, made angry phone calls and sent letters to their local and State Reps for over a week demanding that Minnesota’s Hennepin County Sheriff’s Deputys be brought back from The Standing Rock Stop the DAPL Action.

Ex-Seattle Police Chief Condemns Systemic Police Racism Dating Back to Slave Patrols

The Progressive Wing Posted on July 14, 2016 by LieparDestinJuly 14, 2016

On Wednesday, President Obama met at the White House with law enforcement officials and civil rights leaders. President Obama hosted the meeting one week after the fatal police shootings of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, and the killing of five police officers by a sniper in Dallas. While the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile made national headlines, they were not isolated incidents. According to a count by The Guardian, at least 37 people have been killed by police in the United States so far this month. That’s more than the total number of people killed by police in Britain since the year 2000. Overall, police in the United States have killed a total of 585 people so far this year. We speak to former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper, author of the new book “To Protect and to Serve: How to Fix America’s Police.”

In Privacy Win, Federal Judge Rejects ‘Stingray’ Evidence for First Time

The Progressive Wing Posted on July 13, 2016 by LieparDestinJuly 13, 2016

Via CommonDreams.org by Nadia Prupis For the first time, a federal judge has thrown out evidence obtained by police without a warrant using the controversial “Stingray” device that mimics cell phone towers to trick nearby devices into connecting with them, revealing private information. U.S. District Judge William Pauley said the defendant’s rights were violated when the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) used a Stingray to figure out his home address during a drug investigation. Pauley rejected the evidence, writing, “The use of a cell-site simulator constitutes a Fourth Amendment search…. Absent a search warrant, the government may not turn a … Continue reading →

Teachers, students, & community came out to Mexican Consulate to show support for teachers on strike in #Oaxaca pic.twitter.com/QN3CgRFK6w — OverpassLightBrigade (@OLBLightBrigade) June 25, 2016 DemocracyNow In the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, a deadly police crackdown against teachers has left nine people dead and more than 100 wounded.
