Speaking to The Guardian, NPCC assistant commissioner Louisa Rolfe, who leads on domestic abuse, said that more posthumous investigations are taking place.

I tell you now, there is an attempt by some of the longer serving chief constables to get rid of me, says Ch Insp Andy George. I can guarantee I know exactly what they think of me: that I'm a wee upstart, so I am, that doesn't know my place, he adds with a smile.

A "bike bait" unit should be set up in the National Crime Agency to catch bicycle thieves, the Liberal Democrats have said.

"Do you see this as, that you'd be selling these to SFPD?" Benioff said. "And saying look, you're down 500 or 1,000. I can offer you robots to do some of these jobs, even if they're not armed or not militaristic. Is that a role that you see them playing in cities?"

I remember the first time I came here and I was completely relieved about my safety, Mr Galdino said. In Brazil you feel so scared in the streets. When I came here, I was completely free of that feeling. But in the last few years, seeing these things happen all the time, my perception has completely changed. I really do believe London is a paradise (for pickpockets).

Mayor Lueb was the 2nd Leftist to resign from office in Tigard since 2022. I still miss Singh on the city council. What started out looking diverse in 2022 when Portland felt the need to go conservative and got screwed, now is more conservative looking. I feel so unrepresented and wish I were. Our current city council are primarily the fiscally conservatives who could achieve gentrification and more inequity.

Michael Hardaway, a former Democratic advisor to President Barack Obama and the ex-communications director for Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), admitted many Chicago residents don't feel safe in the city but, at the same time, do not trust President Donald Trump's plan to deploy the National Guard to combat crime. Hardaway shared his two cents on the matter while appearing on MSNBC's Alex Witt Reports on Saturday afternoon.

There is no origin story of the police without the story of the reorganization of human society by the birth, expansion, and dominance of the system of capitalism. While capitalism did not create inequality, it structured society such that new methods and tools were required to impose its uniquely unequal order - with threat of, and acts of, violence - in new ways. The police became one of the most important tools, specially adapted to fit the contours of this new social order.

Be on the lookout for unauthorized ICE deputies patrolling your neighborhood-even in the Bay Area-where there is no need for this in California or anywhere that crime is statistically down! We have our own very capable police to handle criminal activity! If you live in California, look for big black or white Ford trucks with tinted windows and no California license plates-only out-of-state plates. A bonus if you see one with the blue and white flag decal.
