"The WRAP is the subject of a growing number of federal lawsuits likening incorrect usage of the device to punishment and even torture, whether used in a jail or by immigration authorities during international flights. Among advocates’ concerns is that ICE is not tracking the WRAP’s use as required by federal law when officers use force."

The incident has prompted continued questions about #US #LawEnforcement #shootings of #Black people in their homes & generated a change in #Illinois #law requiring fuller transparency on the background of candidates for law enforcement jobs.

A jury of 10 women & 5 men, including 3 alternates, will hear testimony that’s predicted to end next week.

His demands came a day after he ousted the federal prosecutor who failed to charge 2 of the adversaries he most reviles, #LetitiaJames & #JamesComey, showing how far #Trump has gone in exerting personal control over the #DOJ & breaching the longstanding norm about keeping #politics at a distance from #LawEnforcement.

🍋☀️👮🏽‍♂️Community Building

On my way home from a meeting today, I saw something that brightened my day. A young girl and her mom were selling lemonade, and a Malden Police Officer had pulled over to support them. Inspired by that simple act of community, I stopped too and grabbed a delicious $1 cup. That kind of presence builds trust and helps bridge gaps in our community.

🧵National Night Out 2025✨

Community isn’t built in a day—but it starts with showing up.

A few years ago, I had a conversation with then-Captain Cronin—now Chief of Police here in Malden. I thanked him and the Malden PD for doing something simple but powerful: walking the streets, talking with residents, and making sure minority voices weren’t just heard, but respected.

That kind of presence matters. It’s how we start building bridges in our…

1/🚨 Heat Wave Reminder: Check In, Speak Up, Save a Life☀️

After teaching my strength class at the Milano Senior Center in Melrose today, I was driving home when I noticed an older woman sitting alone on the curb. It didn’t feel right—especially in this dangerous heat. I turned around, flagged down a nearby police cruiser, and let the officer know I was an EMT-B and concerned.

Per Idrees Ali of Reuters:

The #troops are authorized [by whom? Not by law] to detain people who pose a threat to federal personnel or property, but only until #LawEnforcement can arrest them.

Well, the #PosseComitatusAct has officially been violated.

#NationalGuard troops have detained #civilians in #LAprotests, commander says

National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the #LosAngeles #protests over #immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to #LawEnforcement [the 30 second rule is only for food fools].

The principle of #proportionality is a #legal doctrine that requires any action taken by authorities, especially in the context of surveillance & #LawEnforcement, to be #proportionate to the objective being pursued.

#Law enforcement officers should use only the amount of force necessary to mitigate an incident, make an arrest, or protect themselves or others from harm.
