I lived in Oakland. When we first got here the cops were literally passing around an underage prostitute https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/24/us/oakland-police-scandals/index.html

Unfortunately we also have the opposite happening to good oversight. We have an unelected committee firing good chiefs because they won’t erase their parking tickets. It’s like the fucking Wire over here https://oaklandside.org/2022/05/18/ex-oakland-police-chiefs-trial-revisits-bitter-conflicts-among-city-officials/

If you're a woman in America who is or may become pregnant, all Requblicans are an immediate, deadly threat to you. And it won't be a quick or painless death - their legislators have truly gone above and beyond just 'out of their way' to make it as torturous and horrific for their own enjoyment.

All women need to get this through their heads, especially since some Requblican women ARE completely in on this "knowing" they'll be above such laws: They want you dying in excessive agony. It's them or you.

I've seen 0 articles state the men that were burned alive were accused of sexual harassment or refused shelter, not that any of that should prevent a guard from saving their lives. I have, however seen reports of authorities abusing their power in the area:

>The Associated Press reported that more than 30 migrant shelters and other advocacy organizations published an open letter earlier this month that complained of a criminalization of migrants and asylum-seekers in the city. The letter accused authorities of abuse and excessive force while rounding up migrants, even questioning people in the street about their immigration status without any cause.

We're not talking about some maximum security prison filled with psychopaths and murderers, it's a border detention facility. Filled with immigrants entering or leaving the country. They certainly weren't charged with any crimes that should preclude them from currently being alive.

If I were a betting man I'd wager the fact that they are immigrants from the areas south of the US is the reason people are sprinting into the chat to morally absolve the guards of their obligation to save these people.
