guide to tasers — anticop A taser (also known as a conducted electrical weapon, electroshock weapon or electronic control device) is a weapon that delivers an electric shock of up to 50,000 volts to its victim, causing extreme...

When force is treated as a default response to mental health crises, the outcome can be irreversible. The risks are well known and ignored. Read more at www.anticop.com.au/blog/tasers

In 2013, British police fired a Taser at Andrew Pimlott, a man experiencing a mental health crisis who had doused himself in petrol. He was set on fire and died five days later. An inquest found the Taser to be the most likely cause of ignition.

Tasers are often framed as a safe or preventative tool in police responses to crisis. In situations involving flammable substances, they can instead escalate risk with fatal consequences.

We should note that although nitrous oxide use in hospitals is safer, it's not completely safe - no drug is. Even with adding oxygen in, there is still a risk that the patient doesn't get enough oxygen, especially children. So patients still need to be monitored.

Are nangs legal or not? Nitrous oxide is a widely used recreational drug in Australia, but its legal status is murky.

NSW Police have a recruitment stall for young kids at the Easter Show - why is this normalised? YouTube video by anticop

NSW Police have a recruitment stall for young kids at the Easter Show - why is this normalised?

The NSW Police Public Affairs Branch employs 89 people with your money, but those jobs are under threat if they cut corners with AI. Justice for police propagandists!

Neo-Nazi protesters outside parliament did not incite racial hatred, police find Police have decided not to press charges as the Minns government rejects a parliamentary order to produce a secret report into hate speech laws.

www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...

NSW Police have a well-documented culture of bigotry, so why would giving them more power to decide what we can and can't say help anyone?

While Minns is trying to criminalise pro-Palestinian slogans, the cops let genuine anti-semitism slide.

Minns won't even release the review of racial vilification laws that his own government commissioned - we're guessing because it doesn't support his pro-Israel agenda.

police and unions — anticop Police and labour unions have a contradictory relationship.  A key role of police, both historically and currently, has been to break strikes, harass and even kill union members. At the same time, in ...

Which side are you on, Luke?

Eight feminist, anti-genocide activists have been arrested after Victorian Trades Hall Council secretary Luke Hilakari called the cops on them for draping an apron on the statue of Zelda D'Aprano, and painting slogans on the ground.

We have a stall where we will be distributing information on people's rights with police, particularly when it comes to sniffer dogs, drug possession and roadside testing.

Police will be blockading the roads and drug testing drivers, but the huge number of participants has led to a truce in town, with police (usually) not harassing smokers.

We're heading to Nimbin MardiGrass! On May 1 every year, thousands of people converge to celebrate cannabis culture and campaign for law reform.

Chris Minns's goons are still harrassing people weeks after the police riot in Sydney on February 9.

No cops have faced any consequences for their violence, but as the police media release notes, 16 more anti-genocide protesters have been charged since the initial round.

Thank you!

Spycops inquiry probes abusive officer who was 'misogyny personified' The spycops inquiry has heard about how one officer was so misogynist that he was described as 'genuinely evil'

#spycops

'An abusive undercover cop [Rob Hastings (who used the fake name ‘Rob Harrison’] who one expert called “misogyny personified” is facing scrutiny at the long-running Undercover Policing ‘Spycops’ Inquiry.'

Why I'm anticop YouTube video by anticop

Why I'm anticop - there are good academic reasons to oppose the police, but for me it's personal

One thing that sucks about Bluesky as opposed to X, The Everything App, is the lack of attn to #spycops; a saga largely ignored in AUS, but which I think provides a fascinating insight into the lengths the state will go to in order to infiltrate, discredit, & disrupt 'progressive' social movements.

No Phoenix officers will be disciplined after protesters falsely charged as gang members Phoenix police will not discipline any officers for their roles in a massive city scandal where officials invented a fake gang and then falsely charged protesters as members back in 2020.

Police and prosecutors knew this gang never existed, but lied to a grand jury to secure an indictment.

Some protesters have now received compensation, but there are no consequences for the lying cops.

Protesters chanted "all cops are bastards", so the police falesly claimed they were part of the "ACAB Gang" which is as dangerous as the Hell's Angels, Crips or Bloods.

Unauthorised interception of phone or internet activity can result in a prison sentence if you're a civilian. But don't hold your breath waiting for these cops to face consequences.
