This banishment law could only have come from Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison (vote her out!) and Council Ruler Sara Nelson (vote her out 2!), but apparently they got the idea from Fife, clearly a vanguard of reactionary approaches to social justice. While they have added the Aurora/ Northgate corridor, most arrests seem to be in Capitol Hill area. Crime is down everywhere else in Seattle, and has been for years.

@CrimethInc solid “blue” states politicians also suspect support to #defundthepolice so they cut social services, deferred maintenance and arts programs in favor of increasing “criminal justice” budgets. Interestingly, in Seattle, the city still can’t recruit all the cops Council wants, despite massive signing bonuses, cop city perks. Even potential police candidates are not interested. There’s more progressive utopian vision than media might have you think.

@Thumptastic3 I know, it's terrible how they treated this poor lady, who was trying her best to comply, and had a really good attitude. Here is another one, from a week later, I suspect the police were targeting her, to meet their arrest quota for that day. youtube.com/watch?v=cKdJ5omz1N #racism #policebrutality #blm #defundthepolice

“There is a tendency among people to defer to a computer result, which is natural,” ... “But I think that if you’re integrating that kind of technology into a high stakes set of circumstances where there’s a massive power imbalance, it becomes very difficult to guard against that end result.”

Bain agrees: “Police are not trained to think. The analysts are not thinkers. The analyst goes by what information the technological equipment spits out. And the AI equipment is already biased from the beginning.”

“Torontonians should see this as a real threat,” says Beverly Bain of No Pride in Policing, an advocacy group focused on defunding Canadian police forces. “These machines are designed to target those who protest, including pro-Palestinian protesters. The idea is to weed those people out, to arrest them, and to punish them for protesting against genocide.”
