Iran shuts down morality police
They’d better “consider” lifting that hajab rule, too:
Iran's attorney general says the government has abolished the "morality police," who enforce hated rules on hijab (although others also enforce the rules). That would be a major concession, but it's not the end of dictatorship that many protesters seek. https://t.co/FywtAzT6ku

Iran disbanded its morality police and is considering altering the requirement that women cover their heads in public, Iran's attorney general said https://t.co/ezLvotXOJE

WTF?
For those curious, the cop thought the car was the same one that evaded him the night before. It was not. https://t.co/LV9AO408j5

Accidentally on purpose
"Tipping died after being injured by a fellow officer who was under investigation for sexually assaulting a woman…the assault happened in July 2021 and involved four LAPD officers…one of the officers was present at the training exercise."https://t.co/Lhqqq4xkHI

I wondered if anyone noticed
PA Gov Tom Wolf has opened up and investigation after 31 uniformed state troopers posed for a photo with Trump at his rally. Department policy requires prior approval to engage in any activity while in uniform, and to avoid politics while in uniform. https://t.co/m7KeG8mxH2

DoJ charges four cops involved in Breonna Taylor death
The arc of the universe is bending in the right direction. Via the Washington Post:
Hankinson and Jaynes were fired from the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department earlier, after being accused of wrongdoing related to Taylor’s death, though Jaynes is suing to get his job back. A Louisville police spokesperson said in a statement that Chief Erika Shields “began termination procedures” for Meany and Goodlett on Thursday.The counts announced Thursday are the first federal charges brought against any of the officers stemming from the raid.
Very secretive Secret Service
PURGED — Here’s the news. Those @SecretService texts are gone, gone, gone . Agency scoured records and said it found nothing new to give Congress . National Archives now investigating if USSS broke the law https://t.co/ROMnhjXSf5

So, the agents were told to back up their texts. Then, the day after a violent insurrection, one in which Trump may have physically put his hands on an SS agent, the agency still not only purges texts, no one checks to see if the agents backed them up? https://t.co/wdR1oV5q5x pic.twitter.com/vxeWwJ65cv

Protecting and serving again
Hospital security officers detained a black man they suspected of “casing” a parking garage, beat him, and told him to never come back. He was a patient, looking for his car. He’d been receiving treatment for kidney failure. https://t.co/kLzCT0dsSr
