Pour la première fois, un rapport révèle l’ampleur mondiale de la répression de l’activisme climatique. Publiée ce 11 décembre 2024 par des scientifiques de l’Université de Bristol, la recherche souligne les risques à travers le monde, et la criminalisation de l’activisme climatique pour tenter de le maintenir sous contrôle.
Dans une série coréenne (The Frog - assez nulle) où quelques scènes nous montrent des flics s’entrainant au tir, on peut constater que les cibles ne représentent qu’une moitié d’individu, de la taille aux pieds, et que ce sont les cuisses qu’il faut viser.
En France, c’est la tête...
Que fait la police ?
Trois policiers hors service ont violemment agressé trois hommes d’origine maghrébine au début du mois de mai à Paris, selon une vidéo révélée par le quotidien Libération, qui publie une enquête sur le sujet, mardi 10 décembre. Deux d’entre eux, en poste au commissariat des Ve et VIe arrondissement, sont déjà impliqués dans des affaires de violences.

Police : les affaires reprennent (à raison d’un meurtre par semaine, en gros...)
Le jeudi 7 novembre, le Conseil d’État a rendu sa décision concernant la cellule de renseignement Déméter : il ne juge pas illégales les missions de « suivi […] des actions idéologiques » confiées à cette cellule de la gendarmerie. Pour L214, Pollinis et Générations Futures, cette décision est alarmante et traduit un climat toujours plus répressif à l’égard des lanceurs d’alerte.

Les affaires reprennent
De ces bavures qui ne pourraient arriver en Angleterre, par exemple...
Quatre ans après l’agression du producteur de musique, l’enquête est terminée et plusieurs éléments pulvérisent la version des policiers qui disaient avoir été blessés par Michel Zecler. « J’ai la main gonflée parce que j’ai tapé le mec », confesse ainsi l’un d’entre eux dans un message consulté par Mediapart.
Les initiatrices de cette « loi-cadre de protection intégrale contre les violences sexistes et sexuelles » dénoncent le manque de moyens et une justice pas à la hauteur face à l’ampleur du phénomène et malgré l’augmentation des signalements depuis le lancement du mouvement #metoo.
« le taux de classement sans suite en matière de violences sexuelles atteignait dans la décennie 2012-2021 86 % des affaires, s’élevant même à 94 % pour les viols en 2020. «
_Reprise en main _
Un homme de 30 ans, a été tué tôt ce dimanche à Villeneuve-Saint-Georges en région parisienne. Il avait menacé des agents avec une arme, qui pourrait s’avérer factice.
Ouais mais bon, si tu dis “Allah Akbar” aussi, c’est comme qui dirait du suicide...

https://kolektiva.social/@MikeDunnAuthor/113402434868018343 MikeDunnAuthor@kolektiva.social - Ever wonder what happened to the “Trick” in “Trick or Treat?”
It all started when Halloween was brought to the U.S. by Irish immigrants who were fleeing the Great Famine of 1845-1852. Back then, the holiday was celebrated quite differently than how most Americans celebrate it today. Early Irish-American Halloween celebrations usually began with a big meal, with foods and rituals to divine the future. A traditional Halloween entree was colcannon, a casserole of mashed potatoes, milk, onion and kale, served with lots of butter, if one could afford it. The cook would hide prizes in the colcannon. Finding a ring meant you were the next to get married. A coin indicated you’d have good luck for the rest of the year. Alternatively, they might scoop the first and last spoonful of colcannon into a girl’s stocking and hang that from a nail in the door. The next person to enter through that door supposedly would be her future husband.
Another Halloween treat was barmbrack, a sweetbread filled with fruit, and sometimes hidden prizes. In this case, finding a ring foretold of an impending romance, whereas a thimble meant you would never get married. A piece of rag meant bad luck or poverty. If a girl ate an apple while combing her hair in front of a mirror at midnight on All Hallows Eve, she would see her future husband gazing back at her. If she walked out into the night, blindfolded, and was led to a cabbage patch, she could predict the size and shape of her future husband by the size and shape of the first cabbage she picked. And if she peeled an apple and let the shavings fall to the ground, she might be able to discern her sweetheart’s initials.
The traditional Halloween supper was followed by bonfires, games, and Mumming, a ritual in which people in costumes (often in drag) marched door-to-door, performing rhyming plays, usually humorous, and often in exchange for food, treats, or even booze. Mumming was practiced in Ireland, Scotland, Mann and Wales, as well as several other European countries, going back at least as far as the Middle Ages. And it is still practiced in parts of the U.S., particularly in Pennsylvania, most likely as a result of the Irish and Welsh who immigrated there in the mid-1800s, many to work in the coal mines. Tolstoy portrayed mumming in War and Peace. For a fascinating history of Irish mumming, check out Henry Glassie’s, All Silver and No Brass (1975).
Mumming was likely the origin of trick-or-treating, as mummers sometimes threatened mischief if treats weren’t provided. Some of the pranks and mischief people did back then included removing the hinges from people’s gates; placing farmers’ wagons or livestock on top of their rooves; stringing ropes across walkways to trip people in the dark; mowing down their shrubs; knocking over swill barrels and outhouses; and even detonating small bombs. By the late 1800s and early 20th century, however, Halloween pranking had taken on a much more anti-authoritarian edge. Kids would vandalize their principal’s home, set off fire alarms, throw bricks through shop windows, attack well-dressed pedestrians and streetcar passengers with bags of flour, and strike out against authority, in general. Sometimes, homeowners would fight back, shooting kids with buckshot or saltpeter. By World War II, the authorities were so alarmed that they started to claim that these pranks were threatening the war effort by wasting scarce resources and disrupting the sleep of weary war workers.
Efforts to sanitize the holiday began in the 1930s, when “The American Home” magazine, and radio shows, like the Jack Benny Show, began promoting the idea of parents taking younger kids out trick-or-treating responsibly and politely. In 1950, the Senate Judiciary Committee, under President Truman, tried to transform Halloween into a more family-friendly holiday, renaming it “Youth Honor Day.” It was around this time that costumes started to become cuter and less scary, and that parents started organizing neighborhood haunted houses and parties to keep the kids out of mischief. In the 1952 Donald Duck cartoon, “Trick or Treat,” Huey, Dewey, and Louie tried to convince mean old Uncle Donald to give them candy instead of the explosives he wanted to give them. But the biggest changes came when food, tobacco, and toy companies saw the huge profits to be made from this new trend and began massively marketing candy and costumes in the weeks leading up to Halloween. By 1965, corporations were making $300 million per year in profits from Halloween costumes and candy.
Of course, the mischief never completely disappeared. Teenagers and some adults continue to light fireworks, and commit pranks, like leaving burning bags of poop on doorsteps, or blowing up jack-o’-lanterns. In 1994, MIT students dismantled a cop car and reassembled it on top of the Great Dome on the Cambridge campus. There’s an annual naked pumpkin run in Boulder, Colorado. And the parties can get pretty raucous, particularly San Francisco’s Castro Street Halloween (at least it was until the city authorities took it over, moved it downtown, and sanitized it). I remember one Night-Before Halloween Castro Street Party back in the 1990s, where people had lined up shoes down the length of the street, with the lost shoe of current mayor, and former police chief, Frank Jordan, at the very end, all doused in lighter fluid and ignited in a fiery celebration of disdain for the homophobic, pro-business police and mayor.
