Body cameras *are not* instruments for holding ICE agents accountable. This has been proven over the course of at least a decade with the use of body cameras on municipal police.
1. They control the footage.
2. They use the threat of what the footage may show to get civilians to retract complaints.
3. They do not decrease use of force incidents over time.

A measly 25% decrease after an increase of…what, 10x? 20x? feels like 100x?
With no timeline? no transparency, no accountability?
And they’ll wear body cameras? eventually? they say? with footage that…who can view, again? Oh, we don’t know??
This all means nothing — •nothing• — except that they’re afraid: afraid of losing funding, afraid of consequences.

Nationalist sentiment has surged across Thailand following the worst fighting with Cambodia in decades, setting up a contentious Feb. 8 election. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/28/asia-pacific/politics/thai-nationalist-cambodia-rural-voters/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #thailand #cambodia #southeastasia
@thejapantimes Let's add some criticism of the Cambodian regime: " witnessed the murder of a man who had his throat cut by a compound manager after he was caught trying to escape" -- "police visited their compounds regularly, including to remove dead bodies, but without taking any action against the managers" -- "Many people died" -- "murder, rape and torture" -- "evidence pointing towards state complicity or deliberate inaction" -- "Cambodian authorities appear to be doing nothing to help"
That's what Amnesty International is writing:
I feel
e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t
towards the Cambodian Hun Sen/Hun Manet regime when I am seeing this.

This is bad - its not even that the #Police have been sitting on their arses in #Sheffield but they have lost a local officer who kept an eye on the streets, and there seems to be a repeating problem with angry men across this part of #Yorkshire deliberately intimidating female owners of "woke" businesses (I suspect either they daren't target the shops run by Desi lads who will fight their corner, or these shops have already been priced out of the market in that street?)

The new Emma Monk blog explores the issue of the lack of vetting in the Metropolitan Police (with some stark data), the Q. of the role of 'diversity hires' & how this has all be presented in the Right wing press.
As she concludes, these papers 'aren’t informing the public. They’re manufacturing a worldview'!
