DHS told police that common protests are “violent tactics”

Sometimes, the huge prediction may seem prescient, responding to the flash point in the real world: In Alvarado, Texas, a coordinated ambush in the detention center this week, fireworks were fired out with fireworks before the July 4 shooting broke out, and a police officer broke out on July 4. (There have been arrested nearly twelve times, and at least 10 people have been arrested for attempted murder.)
Before the protests, institutions increasingly rely on intelligence predictions to identify groups that are seen as ideologically subversive or tactically unpredictable. Demonstrators marked as “violation” can be monitored without charges or being subjected to force.
Socialist scholars have broadly recognized that the introduction of preemptive protests against the introduction of policing was a departure from the late 20th century approach, which prioritized downgrade, communication and promotion. Authorities are increasingly emphasizing the control of demonstrations through early intervention, surveillance and disruption of control of demonstrations, which is monitoring organizers, limiting public spaces, and proactively responding based on perceived risks rather than actual behavior.
Infrastructure originally designed to combat terrorism is now commonly used to monitor street-level protests, with virtual investigation departments censoring protesters in an online manner. The Integration Center funded through the Department of Homeland Security grants is increasingly issuing announcements that mark protest slogans referring to incidents of police brutality and solidarity as possible signs of violence that place these assessments in the case of law enforcement without clear evidence of criminal intent.
Surveillance of protesters includes the use of high-tech tools to compile subjects’ social media posts, branches, personal networks and public statements, and criticism of government policies.
DHS Dossier, a former Colombian graduate student and anti-war activist, obtained exclusively the DHS archive, which shows that analysts attracted Canary Mission from Canary Mission, an anonymous blacklist that anonymously introduced critics of supporters of Israeli military operations and Palestinian rights.
In a federal court Wednesday, senior DHS officials acknowledged that Canary Mission’s materials have been used to conduct more than 100 archives for students and academics despite the website’s ideological tendencies, mysterious funding and unverifiable procurement.
Threat announcements can also enable officials to foresee conflicts and shape their postures and decisions locally. Following the violent protests in 2020, the San Jose Police Department in California listed “numerous intelligence announcements” it received from local regional integration centers, DHS and the FBI, among others, which is the core of understanding the mentality of officials before and before the civil unrest”.
The specific announcement cited by SJPD (when the protest response prompted a $620,000 settlement this month, using the demonstrations as a possible cover for “family terrorists”, warned of opportunistic attacks on law enforcement and promoted “unverified reports” by U-Haul Vans, allegedly “unverified reports” of U-Haul Vans.
Subsequent reporting in the wake of BlueLeaks—a 269-gigabyte dump of internal police documents obtained by a source identifying as the hacktivist group Anonymous and published by transparent group Distributed Denial of Secrets—found federal bulletins riddled with unverified claims, vague threat language, and outright misinformation, including alerts about a parody website that supposedly paid protecters and accepted bitcoin to set cars on fire, despite explicit banner marking “fake”.
Threat alerts (uncategorized and frequently accessed by the media) can help law enforcement to take a foundation for them to legitimize positive police responses before they begin. The unverified Department of Homeland Security warned that the agency publicly responded to the 2020 demonstrations of family terrorist infiltration on Twitter and was widely circulated and amplified in media reports.
Americans usually oppose positive protest repression, but fear is often the driving force when they do support them. Experimental research shows that support for the use of coercive strategies is less support than what protesters actually do, rather than the framework of officials, media, and race and ideology.
