The problem is not the cops. The problem is policing. How they are trained. What their purpose is.
Defund police. By which I mean take every dollar and cent away from them. That's what we mean. It cannot be reformed. Every reform extends their reach and makes things worse. https://t.co/eTccRGjdSF
I dunno, so many claim there are no people actually for abolition, that that's all madeup stuff by Russian or right-wing trolls, but I see stuff like this all time:
.@micahinATL and I discuss the struggle to Stop Cop City and the death of Tortuguita, a forest defender and abolitionist who was gunned down by police in Weelaunee Forest last week, this week on @MovementMemos. https://t.co/bWcxu3l1D3
Warrants of forest defenders facing domestic terror charges include the following as alleged examples of terrorist activity: “sleeping in the forest,” “sleeping in a hammock with another defendant,” being “known members” of “a prison abolitionist movement” https://t.co/KRl5SDEv19
Well I also thought the U.S.A. was a democracy where communities could decide what they wanted to do about problems by majority vote. Guess not, guess it's more like Haiti? (Or alternately, you can do the Trump thing? Maybe that's basically the same, tho....)
“The evidence is overwhelming: Giving roving teams of police officers added authority, elite status, a long leash and a vague mandate is a formula for abuse.” https://t.co/wXwLkOl0OY
Why is the media fueling fears of unrest after five ex-Memphis police officers were charged with murder in the death of Tyre Nichols after a traffic stop? The case was investigated and the officers were charged. The system worked! @AmeshiaCross joins Dan. pic.twitter.com/GQmTbMThIv
#ElitesAndCrime | Democracy in #Haiti is disappearing. The last elected senators terms’ ended in January, and gang leaders like Barbecue, Vitelhomme, and Izo remain far more popular than Ariel Henry, a former Haitian official told InSight Crime.
Haiti has extradited four people to the United States who are accused of being involved in the assassination of former president Jovenel Moïse.https://t.co/RUAjJDFOTp

Note: WHILE, yes, THEY PLOTTED IN THE U.S., THEY ARE BEING PROSECUTED BY THE U.S.FEDS. So if you're going to argue the assassination was a C.I.A. job or some such, then you also have to go with a war between the C.I.A. and the D.O.J. Kay? Got that? Entertain this thought as well: maybe just maybe Haiti is a miserable failure despite bigger countries trying to help them.

BTW here's another one, she's on the NYC council; abolitionists are real. Proud and loud. Commentators like Moskos are not making the stuff up or exaggerating, they're talking about shit actual city and state reps say.

You gotta have rule of law
In Memphis, we still do:

But in Atlanta, gang life just isn't the same anymore? (Dead is really dead, go figure?)
