La piste de "l'extrême-gauche" brandie à chaud par l'exécutif après les attaques contre les prisons ces dernières 48 heures s'éloigne: "Ce sont des narcos qui réagissent (mal) aux nouvelles conditions de détention imposées par Darmanin", confie une source policière. Le ministre de la Justice, qui a lancé dès l'an passé un plan « quartiers de haute sécurité » pour les gros bonnets de la drogue, bombe le torse

#Hungary passes constitutional amendment to ban #LGBTQ+ public events, seen as a major blow to rights

By JUSTIN SPIKE
April 15, 2025

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — "Hungary’s parliament on Monday passed an amendment to the constitution that allows the government to ban public events by LGBTQ+ communities, a decision that legal scholars and critics call another step toward #authoritarianism by the populist government.

"The amendment, which required a two-thirds vote, passed along party lines with 140 votes for and 21 against. It was proposed by the ruling Fidesz-KDNP coalition led by populist Prime Minister #ViktorOrbán.

"Ahead of the vote — the final step for the amendment — opposition politicians and other #protesters attempted to #blockade the entrance to a parliament parking garage. #Police physically removed demonstrators, who had used zip ties to bind themselves together.

"The amendment declares that children’s rights to moral, physical and spiritual development supersede any right other than the right to life, including that to peacefully assemble. Hungary’s contentious 'child protection' legislation prohibits the 'depiction or promotion' of #homosexuality to minors aged under 18.

"The amendment codifies a law fast-tracked through parliament in March that bans public events held by LGBTQ+ communities, including the popular #PrideEvent in #Budapest that draws thousands annually."

So, the Police in the US is well known for its racism and corruption.
The military is home to far-right extremists.

Just thinking out loud but I'm pretty sure that when the armed branch of a society supports the policy of a fascist president it doesn't end well for democracy.
And people.

OPA completed the investigation in January and issued sustained findings against Patterson but not the other officer.

The chief still hasn't issued discipline. Patterson has been on leave since last year. He may be burning off his leave before retiring.

Trump’s DOJ Has Frozen Police Reform Work. Advocates Fear More Abuse in Departments Across the Country.

Federal investigators had identified at least eight police departments with patterns of unlawful behavior. But Trump’s freeze on oversight activities leaves many reform efforts in the hands of local leaders.

Of course the best answer (for a given definition of best) is to avoid the region and make it as unprofitable as practicable, while finding ways to support conventional policing and strengthen democratic institutions in other regions.

So it is therefore clearly on a completely unrelated note that I share this link to amusing printed masks of your favourite topical celebrities and politicians, (from a Chinese supplier, please do share a link to manufacturers in friendlier states, if anyone has one).

Seattle cops have just activated their new 24/7 citywide AI surveillance camera network.

Cops at operations centers will be watching the video from over SIXTY HD cameras in three neighborhoods.

The cops are storing video for 30 days, or indefinably if a cop decides they want to keep it for "investigation".

Seattle residents tried to stop this dragnet, saying it will only empower Trump in our region.
