1) The police are aware of this game and because they are playing they know where people may tend to congregate. Means they will be more understanding if a bunch of random people are hanging out near a place that virtually has no one there.

2) Because the news has been blasting that people are getting mugged and attacked at PokeStops, it brings up a safety issue. Well if cops decided to play Pokemon GO and hang out near some of these Stops, it will increase safety because there’s less likely hood of a mugging to occur when there are one to a few cops around.

3) This unintentionally puts cops out in multiple locations similar to how patrols work. Thus this increases public safety and gives a higher sense of security if you aren’t adverse to law enforcement.

Other issues on pause, we need to demilitarize our police.  And that starts by deconstructing the hegemony that divides “police” and “citizens”.  

also, i’m not 100% sure if narcan/naloxone is effective w fentanyl, but i urge everybody who reads this, regardless of if you use heroin/know of somebody, or not, to look into narcan and approach your nearest harm reduction group to see if you can get any bc that shit saves lives in overdoses. it’s fucked up bc it’s getting more and more expensive, and i don’t know how accessible/available it is, like i know harm reduction groups in washington state provide it in kits, but i don’t know about other places. 

here’s the basics on narcan: understanding naloxone/narcan , some info on where to get it

Unarmed Black Man With Hands Up Shot By Police.

Charles Kinsey, 47, a behavior therapist from South Florida was shot in the leg three times by the police in North Miami while laying on the ground with his arms up and trying to help his patient with autism who had run away from a group home.

It all started when someone called 911 and said there was a man walking around with a gun. However it was Kinsey’s patient who was sitting on the ground cross-legged, playing with a toy truck.

Charles got shot by police despite telling them he was only trying to help his patient.

The police shot him, handcuffed him and left him on ground bleeding.

North Miami police have not released much information at all. They haven’t released the officer’s name, they haven’t given us an update on the investigation. However, they did say that the state attorney is now a part of this investigation.
