“They steal from you. Take your art and your belongings to their country. Then they showcase them like, look what I have. I am more powerful than you. Years later, when the world has somewhat righted itself, you ask for them back and they refuse.” vice.com/en/article/5dpd9x/t…

*TW for suicide/self-harm*
I wrote about a suicide site associated with multiple deaths, and how little we know about what online behaviors increase suicide risk. We need places for people to share their feelings—but ones that don't put them in danger.

The Police Benevolent Association, New York City’s largest police union, issues courtesy cards—nicknamed "get out of jail free cards"—to its members on a yearly basis.
More at @VICE.

One small thing newsrooms can/should do is bar reporters from carrying these. Used to be a perk of the police beat.
The existence of these things is just amazing to me, completely explicit and formalized public corruption, and it’s just like, a normal way of life in big American cities. It’s insane. vice.com/en_us/article/v7gxa…

I covered a PBA press conference after the NYPD cop who put Eric Garner in a chokehold was fired, and these cards were handed out to reporters in attendance ... vice.com/en_us/article/v7gxa…
I couldn't believe these "courtesy cards" were really truly a thing until @k80way did this story vice.com/en_us/article/v7gxa…

Police discretion allows cops to pick and choose who the law r e a l l y applies to. I wrote about the way PBA cards are the perfect "innocuous" representation of that power. vice.com/en_us/article/v7gxa…

this story, about the huge burden of being tracked with a malfunctioning ankle monitor when you haven't been convicted of a crime, is crushing. the @steenz comics make it come alive vice.com/en_us/article/4ayv4…
Victor Hurley had worked for years remodeling houses. When the court put him on home detention, he was too humiliated to admit he couldn’t leave his home. He came up with different excuses for why he couldn’t pick up jobs, and the calls eventually stopped coming in.
