WHY ARE WE ANONYMOUS?
What is ‘pink bloc’?
A bloc is not a fixed group of people. It is fluid, anonymous, indistinguishable.
A bloc uses anonymity, which is one of many methods that can be used to resist fear, repression and control when disrupting and dissenting.
Anonymity keeps us safer, but not safe.
If they can’t see us, they can’t catch us.
Why is that important?
Because if they can’t catch us, we can do it again…
The same logic applies to a ‘digital bloc’: anonymity keeps this system of communication sustainable – and having no visible leader restrains us from becoming clout-chasing online ‘activists’.
So… Who is pink bloc?
Well, you are us, and we are you! 🖤🩷💜

Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone.
[Buiten is het verschrikkelijk. Dag en nacht worden die arme mensen weggesleept, met niets anders bij zich dan een rugzak en wat geld. Deze bezittingen worden hun onderweg ook nog ontnomen. De gezinnen worden uit elkaar gerukt, gesplitst in mannen, vrouwen en kinderen. Kinderen, die van school naar huis komen, vinden hun ouders niet meer. Vrouwen, die boodschappen doen, vinden bij haar thuiskomst haar huis verzegeld, haar familie verdwenen.]

Critics of the company reacted skeptically to the changes, which they said appeared designed to address the growing bipartisan anger about the cameras but could still leave room for #police to abuse the system.
The ACLU said that the shortened evidence retention window could be “a step in the right direction,” but it characterized the other changes as “retreads” of inadequate safety measures.

#Police credit the #tech as an important crime-fighting innovation that helps locate missing people & track suspects in violent crimes. But critics say it amounts to #unconstitutional warrantless #MassSurveillance. Dozens of cities & agencies have nixed their relationships with #Flock amid concerns that the data can be accessed for #immigration enforcement or in unauthorized tracking, after a flurry of examples surfaced of #LawEnforcement officers misusing the tech for personal searches.

Study after study after study has proven the exact same things:
1. Black Americans are much more likely to face police brutality.
2. Black Americans are MUCH more likely to be stopped by the police in the first place.

No, what I'm experiencing is closer to being a WW2 pilot.

And the same prescription for the problem: forgiving and forgetting it happened.

‘Own the Narrative’: Leaked #Flock Guide Shows How It Teaches #Cops to Promote Its Tech
404 Media has obtained a coaching guide that Flock #surveillance gives to #police about “how to speak to city councils about public safety technology.” The handbook highlights how Flock and police team up to convince cities to buy and keep its automated license plate reader technology, even when there is widespread public opposition to it, and encourages police to “own the narrative before someone else does” by championing the technology before citizens can oppose it during public comment periods.

#FlockCameras : "A police officer can search 100,000 #cameras nationwide to see if a fugitive has passed any Flock cameras, or get an alert when they do. They can also search for identifying features like make, model, color or even unique dents and bumper stickers.
#Police can also use the cameras to surveil protestors and stalk ex-lovers—or strangers they find attractive.
The cameras have raised questions on #constitutionality and have led to wrongful arrests across the county."

BREAKING: Madison Wisconson cops were seen today shooting an unarmed Black man execution style in the head THREE times.
Witnesses say the man was struggling to flee but was not armed and they didn't see cops recover any weapons from the man.
The cops just got frustrated and killed him.
Video from multiple angles shows the cops were facing only the threat of a bruised ego if the man ran away.
