A day of hijinks!
Also #CommunityDefence
And another stop at my home away from home.

#FuckYou52
Cops be wildin' 24/7.
I gotta start keeping a journal of their shit.
A PUBLIC journal.

@RadicalGraffiti Important distinction for locals: ACAB spotted on the sign in front of 52 Division in Toronto.
Cops effectively chased tf away. Excellent.
Say it with me:
FUCK YOU, 52!

Oh, what's that, motherfuckers?
❝
Our members deserve the same respect that they extend to the protesters.
Anything less is unacceptable.
❞
So none.
Abso-fucking-lutely zero.
Noted.
I love it when there are literally more cops than protestors, and that was BEFORE the van of stormtroopers pulled up.

Y'all KNOW this mother fucker was fired for sending rude messages to superiors not for the assaultS on cyclistS. #PoliceDontKeepUsSafe
❝
➡️The first incident⬅️ occurred in 2017. Holmes, who was working at #FuckYou52 Division, investigated a cyclist for running through a red light along the waterfront. After the cyclist refused to provide identification, Holmes arrested him, pushing him to the ground. The cyclist suffered injuries, including a broken clavicle, as a result.

I need a 14 Division chant*.
These motherfuckers like pepper spray a little too much.
* it's clearly not going to be as succinct as #FuckYou52
These mother fuckers are clearly trying to justify their gigantic budget increase.
You know, that increase they're getting despite 43% of Torontonians wanting to cap or reduce their budget and put it toward better services.

Lookie lookie.

Buried on page 45 of 49 of last month's 2024 City of Toronto Budget Launch document is a little something that may have set the Toronto Police Services members' teeth on edge.
It looks an awful lot like the actual residents of this City are not buying what the cops are selling.
🔟 🔟 🔟 🔟 🔟
For starters, only 10% of the people surveyed think the cops' budget should be increased.

In response to my favourite chant, #FuckYou52 they have only, "We're from 51!"
Which I find hilarious.
Last week's unnecessary door kick-in warrants for *checks notes* postering an Indigo bookstore, really ought to be getting people asking: who is signing off on these warrants and why?
These people absolutely could have been phoned and told to show up at the station, but where would the drama be in that? How would that justify their overinflated budget?
❝
Search warrants are commonly used by Toronto police, one legal expert said. The practice, however, is controversial and there’s little transparency on how they’re conducted — and how often they go wrong.
❞
Rich people leveraging their judge-friends to buy revenge is clearly a problem that needs to be looked into.
This JP signed off on KICKING PEOPLE'S DOORS IN, ON BAD INTEL. And the rate off this shit is increasing.
❝
“A warrant to search will only be issued if the author can demonstrate that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the suspect or evidence is associated with that address. There are occasions where this information is determined to be inaccurate, but not necessarily because officers failed to do their due diligence,” the spokesperson said.
“It is an unintended outcome that could understandably be upsetting for residents who are not associated with the investigation.❞
It's not just the cops who are problematic in this dynamic.
Coverage of yesterday's jail support action¹.
❝
Supporters outside the police station held out banners calling for ceasefire and an end to Canadian support for the Israeli army.
They say those arrested had their homes "raided" by police at 5 a.m. and their laptops and phones seized. The Star has not independently verified the claim and police did not confirm it.
❞
CBC:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/indigo-vandalism-charges-1.7037711
❝
The police allege that those charged approached the bookstore, glued posters to the windows and doors, and poured red paint on the nearby sidewalks.
Ten of those arrested face charges of mischief over $5,000 and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. The 41-year-old who was arrested first is charged solely with mischief over $5,000.

Still here holding it down outside 52.
If you're coming down, be sure to dress for the cold!
Okay kiddies, took me a while to get en route, but:
📣 📣 📣 📣
IF YOU ARE HEADED TO 52 DIVISION:
📣 📣 📣 📣
1️⃣ Bloc the fuck up.
Expect shitty streamers, influencers, and narcs in addition to 🐖🐖 to be capturing faces, shoes, and any other details for their "databases/archives".
2️⃣ We don't talk to cops.
That's what lawyers are for and there are a LOT of them on it.
3️⃣ We don't talk about upcoming actions.
Dude! You are standing outside a COP STATION. Don't give them intel!
4️⃣ Lock your devices down.
Turn off lock screen notifications, biometrics, etc.
5️⃣ Be LOUD.
Manoeuvres like this morning are designed to create fear and silence activists. Don't let it succeed.
See you there.

Always my favourite chant:
#FuckYou52
I am, as always, pulling up the back. Coming up Queen Street.
Chanting:
¹Pride was a riot, we will not be quiet.
