AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>I don't know how many of my readers are Canadian, but I'm going to quickly share this article anyway because I think it's pretty indicative of the lack of accountability and militant "us against them" attitude of police all over the Pig Empire. A Canadian criminal defense lawyer named Tom Engel filed a Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy request (similar to our FOIA) and discovered that Edmonton Police Service had been formally monitoring his social media posts for criticizing the department's (extremely poor) performance of their duties. Unsurprisingly, the EPS tried to dodge the FOIP request but when Engel finally did get ahold of his file, it became clear that the pigs just didn't like being criticized and were looking for reasons to harass this guy.</p><p><a href="https://thetyee.ca/News/2024/08/16/Edmonton-Police-Tracked-Critic-Social-Media/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thetyee.ca/News/2024/08/16/Edm</span><span class="invisible">onton-Police-Tracked-Critic-Social-Media/</span></a></p><p>Edmonton Police Tracked a Critic’s Social Media</p><p>In the internal document, dated April 12, 2022, Det. Alex Thomas of the threat assessment unit tells a staff sergeant in investigative services that Brezinski ordered the monitoring of Engel, whom he refers to as an “anti-police advocate,” after he made two posts on March 15, 2022, that named officers involved in a shooting.</p><p>“There were no threats to harm the members or any personal information about them in the posts,” Thomas wrote.</p><p>“However subsequent posts by Engel involved a variety of ‘hot button’ or controversial topics, some of which include COVID-19 and vaccine mandates, Edmonton Oilers, RCMP and the provincial government.”</p><p>Thomas added that Engel’s Facebook “did not have any inflammatory statements about police.”</p><p>Nonetheless, Thomas said they would continue to monitor Engel’s social media accounts for two more weeks in case “anti-police supporters may encourage others to ‘dox’ the members involved.” They closed the file after finding nothing of note."</p><p>This article takes great pains to note that Engel isn't "anti-police" and is in fact just a reformer, but the truth is that's very much besides the point; it's not *illegal* to criticize the police, nor is it against the law to be "anti-police." This guy has participated in government reviews of the rules and regulations governing police, has never threatened police officers, and has never committed a crime in the course of advocating for police reform; they just didn't like the fact that he exposed what a bunch of chucklefuck assclowns the EPS is. You can tell the whole thing is bullshit because even in their official documentation the cops were trying to say that posts about the Edmonton Oilers (a hockey team) justified their surveillance. Please keep in mind that Engel is literally a criminal defense lawyer, so if they're surveilling him for legally-protected criticism of the EPS you can damn well imagine what they're doing to actual police abolitionists and activists. </p><p>The obvious truth here is the one only hinted at in the article; as police states all across the Pig Empire invest more power and surveillance technology in the hands of poorly regulated law enforcement officers, the cops have openly embraced the idea that if you're not with them, you're against them and despite having no legal authority to do so, they're gonna spy on you and harass you as punishment. The murderpigs in our society are quite simply the biggest gang around, and given the lack of oversight for their activities, they really don't care if you know that. This kinda shit can't be reformed, but the reality is nobody in power wants it to be reformed anyway - that's why police budgets keep increasing, and militarization of law enforcement continues unabated, no matter how many crimes and civil rights violations these murderpigs commit. </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Police</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceState</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Abolition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abolition</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Survelliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Survelliance</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CivilRights</span></a></p>
