One of my favorite blogs was Alec Karakatsanis' “#Copaganda." He's just finished a new book and I encourage everyone to purchase a copy.

There's a very long history of the police, police unions, and the state manipulating the press to make you think that cops solve crimes (they don’t), that they protect you (they protect property), and that they are indispensable (many cities such as #Durham, NC have success with unarmed response teams for non-emergency calls).

Poilievre stands by B.C. candidate called out for residential school posts
cbc.ca/news/canada/british-col

Aaron Gunn criticized over posts that residential school system did not constitute genocide

COMMENT: Gunn behind far-right anti-homeless, addiction-demonizing copaganda/propaganda film "Vancouver is Dying," backed by Lululemon billionaire Chip Wilson, who helped elect ABC Vancouver/Ken Sim, & backs far-right Take Back Alberta

"Heikkilä vierastaa ajatusta etälamauttimien käytön kieltämisestä mielenosoituksissa. Hänen mukaansa keltaisen etälamauttimen esille ottaminen rauhoittaa usein tilanteen."

Poliisi näköjään pyrkii maalaamaan kaikki mielenosoitukset mellakoinniksi, joissa väkivalta mielenosoittajia vastaan on OK.

Vaughan HVAC store broken into for 3rd time in 5 months, police say | CBC News

Why "police say"?

Didn't the store owners know?

Media love to link all crime reports directly to cops, right in the headline, when it adds no value.

I wouldn't care if they said "police fail to stop break-ins".

Explosives team called in for police incident that has closed bridge connecting Kelowna and West Kelowna

A "police incident"? I assumed the cops had damaged the bridge.

Why do the media have to put "police" in headlines whenever they show up.

(CBC has changed the headline since my RSS reader scraped it)

The Enduring Power of Copaganda

An unprecedented new immigration detention law and the propaganda behind it

> The Laken Riley Act is unprecedented in modern U.S. history. The version that passed the House requires the federal DHS bureaucracy to build billions of dollars in new infrastructure to cage any undocumented person *even accused* of petty theft, shoplifting, or several other property crimes. The mandatory indefinite detention provisions apply to anyone even arrested or charged—something we’ve never seen before

Continued thread

Eine wenig aufwändige Recherche von 5min Dauer hat Folgendes ergeben:

  1. Es gab bereits 2015, 2019 und 2023 Petitionen, die ein #Böllerverbot aka #BöllerCiao zum Inhalt hatte. (Bild1)
    https://epetitionen.bundestag.de/epet/petuebersicht/suche.abgeschlossen.$$$.a.u.batchsize.10.page.0.html?_charset_=UTF-8&text=b%C3%B6ller&page=1

  2. Alle drei Petitionen kamen nicht mal in die Nähe des notwendigen Quorums von 30K Mitzeichnungen., interssierten quasi "keine Sau". (Bild 2)

  3. Eine Petition (von 2023) liegt in der aktuellen Legislaturperiode, d.h. eine erneute Petition zum Thema ist erst nach der #BTW25 im ein paar Wochen zulässig.

Fazit: Alle drei Petitionen waren trotz unterschiedlicher Qualität in ihrer Argumentation gemeinwohlorientierter, als die populäre Privat-Petition einer Polizeigewerkschaft, die vor allem ihre Partikularinteressen formulierte.

Prognose: Das sich ab Februar öffnende Zeitfenster für eine erneute und ggfs. erfolgreiche Bundestagspetition zum Thema wird von keiner Berufsorganisation ausgenutzt werden, denn dazu haben nur natürliche Personen das Recht, und keine PR-Abteilungen, die ein Thema mit #Copaganda für sich einnehmen.

Es kommt also wieder auf mündige Bürger+innen (ob in Uniform oder nicht) an einen demokratischen Prozess und nicht nur eine PR-Kampagne anzustoßen.

Wir dürfen gespannt sein.
