Oh, and I am subletting an apartment in Orono, Maine, for the summer, where I will be working, and taking photography and German. It's a great place, beautiful surroundings, but close enough (10 minute bike ride) to everything I need to be close to. I have two roomates, one has a dog. It'll be great. Lots of sun, fresh air, and I will be busy. Must stay busy. By fall, I will be ready to move back on campus (also Orono) where I will plough forward with the college thing.
you know I feel very sad when I hear these sorts of stories. I want to believe cops are all good guys because they have to be. they have power in their hands, they wear weapons so they have to be more honnest and more nice than the other guys. and it is not true. and I really HATE that.
In France, cops used to verify ID card from arab young people. they don't do that one time but 10 or 15 times a day to the same persons. I saw that (i lived in an arab place in my town) and became bvery angry. I'm quite stupid so I come to see cops and said "why do you verify their ID card and not mine ?"
..... the following is not quite good. I just can say they told me "shup up slut !"
another time, in a student's march. I wear a big silver necklace. a cop tries to club me. on the neck. on the back. on the arm. during this time, he pulls my necklace out and puts it on his pocket. of course I don't say anything.
Many years ago, Dolly Dunn, the infamous paedophile, had a house near the Block in Redfern, where he paid underaged Aboriginal boys for sex with money and drugs. Mum Shirl, the great leader of the community, forced the Redfern police to do something about it.
In the NSW Police Royal Commission, the story came out that when the Redfern cops raided Dunn, they found him in bed with a boy, found drugs, money, videos and photos. They took him to the station and shook him down for a $40,000 bribe. Dunn ended up in jail, but the cops were allowed to retire with their dirty money. The community on the Block is well aware of this story.
I mention this because a friend in Redfern has told me that on the morning of Sunday February 16, Pam Ingram, a leading woman on the Block, went to St Vincent's Church and announced after mass that another paedophile ring was operating and that the women were preparing to protest at the Redfern police station again. That afternoon, completely unrelatedly, TJ Hickey died.
I have seen no mention of this in the mainstream press. But if the women were preparing to mobilise, memories of the last time the Redfern cops dealt with a paedophile ring were being recalled and then the news came through of TJ's death. I'm not surprised that there was a riot.
Given their record, the NSW Police deserve to be pelted.
