Officers are sharing racist content online, with some wearing the ‘thin blue line’ avatar, associated with white nationalism among US police

Liz Fekete, director of IRR, said: “Our conclusion that the dehumanising mindset and overall sense of impunity and entitlement displayed in police WhatsApp groups is a symptom, not a cause, of authoritarian trends in policing, will no doubt make for uncomfortable reading.”

The report also warns that the “thin blue line” avatar and hashtag are still seen on the Twitter feeds of police officers, including a safer neighbourhood team in London, and they have been observed on the uniforms of officers in Manchester.

Biden signs executive orders to safeguard abortion as frustration mountsThe move comes as anger among Democrats and pro-choice advocates grows over the White House’s response to the overturning of Roe v Wade. FarrahTomazin His bill add meaningless protections. States will make their own rules. FarrahTomazin So the supreme court ruled that individual states via the democratic process, get to decide their own laws. Biden signs a futile fiat executive order, ignoring the democratic process of passing a federal law to stifle states rights to decide their own laws. FarrahTomazin I thought presidents who try to override the supreme court via executive order are Dictators Who Threaten Democracy™ though, or has that gone back to being ok now?
