Biella Coleman (who is known for her anthropological research on the Debian community among other things) just Tweeted about DKG (ACLU staff and Debian Developer) being beaten by the police. Most of the time we try to avoid an overt political position for LUV, even for political issues where there is a clear and obvious issue of right and wrong. But when a member of our community is a victim of violent crime we have to speak out. LUV opposes police violence except as a last resort. Police who needlessly injure or kill people should be arrested and charged just like any other criminal. Police who are racist should be sacked and if their racist acts hurt people then they should be arrested and charged just like any other criminal. https://www.commongrace.org.au/339_recommendations_from_the_rciadic The recommendations from the Royal Commission Into Aboriginal Deaths In Custody should be applied ASAP. Australia should provide good food and healthcare to all detained people and should comply with the international obligations regarding the treatment of refugees. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
