Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 17hthey don’t care. The assault rifle announcement was timed for October 7 to mollify lobbyists demanding special gun license arrangements for “jewish security” 110
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 18hcan’t wait for all the earnest opeds opining that police with assault rifles do not pass the non-existent pub test and lack an imaginary social licence given everybody hates the fact that Minns is spending over $90 million of our money on assault rifle armed cops roaming Sydney streets. 1142
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 18hNSW 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”. 1152

Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 21hthe 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. 1113
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 21hwill they get training in response to people experiencing a mental health episode? The superintendent says all police are so trained. In empathy, he says. So the same empathetic response as features in half of all critical incidents - injury or death during policing - now with bigger guns. 1133
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 21hasked if there is evidence of assault rifle deterrent effects, a superintendent pleece tells ABC radio there is evidence from “Europe and the Americas” that shows “there is no doubt” high powered rifles deter “reconnaissance” whatever that means. 2144
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 21hthere 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. 1176

Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 08/10/2026tbc the assault rifle-armed NSW police squad is 1/ not a response to the 14 Dec 2025 mass shooting, it is literally weaponisation of a mass shooting; and 2/ not mimicking the USA, it is shaped by <Israeli> policing logics and pro-Israel lobbying for a separate “jewish security” gun licensing regime. 1243
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026hey remember when NSW Police were “training” on the streets of Sydney and dressed a white dude in a keffiyeh carrying an automatic rifle to be the bad guy while an IS flag was used as a prop to simulate hostage taking. www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10...abc.net.auPolice apologise after Palestinian diplomat 'upset' about terrorism training videoNSW Police admit "we are wrong" after a video of a terrorism training exercise drew the ire of Palestine's most senior Australian diplomat. 1358
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026lol yup but I was just saying there is no need to implicate brown people in global south countries when it is white supremacist people in Israel and the USA who are the problem. 000
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026jewish “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. 192
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026the strategy has failed in <Israel> and the USA. Local zionists look to Israel. 120
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026when police promised that this time definitely this time more training will make the “force” less violent. You know like more training make police unracist. 0123
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026yeah we have swat teams and riot squad and the rest. The cops were staring down zionists who want their own special militia with an exceptionalised ethno-religious gun licensing regime for Jewish zionists. 1123
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026this one looks like Israel to me. It is driven by zionist lobbying and over there it is completely normalised to see cops and soldiers wandering the streets with high powered rifles slung over their shoulders like handbags. 1174
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026we will deter the “hatred” with assault weapons is so weirdly coded even I am having trouble parsing it. How exactly does this deterrent work, Mal? Members of the NSW public who hate the genocidal Israeli president and say so in the streets get shot faster? Is that it? 3457
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026you can not keep community safe with high powered rifles ffs what kind of pew pew rambo bullshit. There is no scenario where cops with assault weapons arrive faster and cause less damage than the local cops. We do not even have information on how many of the 40 injured at Bondi were injured by cops. 15611
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026he remember when an unarmed bystander wrestled one gunman to the ground and police killed the other one 117327

Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 06/10/2026as you would expect, because it does not exist, Altman does not name public benefits delivered by OpenAi tech, and nor does the reporter note “he said, without presenting any evidence” as they have belatedly started adding to lies told by Trump. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...theguardian.comAccept ‘bad things’ in return for benefits of AI, says Sam AltmanBoss of OpenAI calls for a regulatory light touch because of the ‘good stuff’ the technology can deliver 0112
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 06/10/2026nobody owns October 7 or September 11 or 26 January. Colonising a date is a disgusting thing to do. It is not up to the colonial white class in Israel or the USA or Australia to dictate how anniversaries are commemorated by subjugated Peoples. 13613
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 06/10/2026the ABC has also chosen to erase the Jewishness of the Jewish group Jews Against the Occupation 48 and imply that only zionist organisations represent Australian Jews, an antisemitic lie. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...abc.net.au'Heartless': Pro-Palestinian groups criticised for October 7 vigilsPro-Palestinian organisations are criticised for planning vigils for the third anniversary of Hamas attacks on Israel that killed more than 1,200 people. 2209

Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 06/10/2026oh we should do this thing and this other thing and enact extremely harmful and costly processes to endow presumptive innocence and benefit of doubt on white men whose entire history evidences nothing but destructive malfeasance - how colonial white patriarchy boosts OpenAi tech, and rapists. 2172
Dr Ingrid M🪁 @ingridm.bsky.social · 06/10/2026the opportunity cost alone of OpenAI tech displacing what could be allocated to (“invested in”) flourishing human creativity is directly comparable to the way patriarchy discards women and children victims to preserve the dubious and harm-causing futures of adult men who rape. 1140
