but what should police do about the children who commit crimes? 1/ police do not determine guilt, they do not get to say if a child committed a crime. 2/ what do police do about children in wealthy areas who steal cars and possess cannabis and assault girls in their class?

the state is by far the worst parent. It is police, and only police, who criminalise troubled kids.

Youth justice workers
Mar 2020
Written by Lynne McPherson
There is a nexus between living in Out of Home Care
(OOHC) and being involved with the criminal justice system. In NSW children and young people in OOHC have been found to be overly represented in the NSW Children's Court, with estimates ranging from 19% to 34%(Indig, Vecchiato, Haysom, Belby, Carter, Champion & Whitton, 2011). Through the
implementation of the Joint Protocol to reduce contact of young people in residential OOHC with the criminal justice system the NSW government and Intensive Therapeutic Care providers are working to change this reality for young people.

police using Ai tech to “detect” other people using Ai tech to harm children. Police and Ai tech are primary causes of enormous harm, including to children.
To help identify potential exploitation earlier, the AFP is working with Monash University's AiLECS Lab on a welfare tool that triages reports of harm to the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation and refers them to a human for assessment.

NSW police claim they will not send these even more heavily armed police to protests AND the assault rifle squad will “patrol” mass gatherings. In other words, the assault rifles will turn up at protests not as a protest per se but to KeEp AuStRaLiAnS sAfE at “mass gatherings”.

the assault rifle armed police will patrol, says the super, in “places of mass gathering”. Not at protests, mind. The example he gives is at Circular Quay. Some people may see a beautiful part of Sydney at the Quay, he says, while he sees a potential mass casualty event. Again with the no evidence.

there is no evidence that giving police assault rifles can deter an active shooter. There is vast evidence that police with assault rifles will kill more people than police with guns and tasers and barons and pepper spray already kill and injure people.

jewish “security” are armed now. They were pushing for licence to carry ie not just armed outside synagogues and schools but also roaming the streets with guns. The cops hated the idea so we got this. But the only possible “safety” scenario is armed and stationary at Jewish events held in public.

you can not keep community safe with high powered rifles ffs what kind of pew pew rambo bullshit.
