I became an abolitionist when I understood the function of police and realized that to me nothing they protect was worth having at the price of the deadly violence they inflict on my neighbors, my family, my beloved community. I became an anarchist when I understood that every other form of social organization requires police for its very existence.

The courts will never hold these murderers accountable for their crimes because the entire system is made up of BASTARDS!

What I learned since Rodney King:
It doesn't matter who does it
It doesn't matter where they live
It doesn't matter how good the policy is
It doesn't matter how much oversight there is
It doesn't matter how many prosecutions or consent decrees
Policing is violence.

"A single conviction of a single cop won’t change the system that produced and enabled him; in fact, it only emboldens it to continue business as usual under the pretext that it can deliver justice."
—@prisonculture and @dreanyc123 in #NoMorePolice (http://bit.ly/NoMorePolice)

Five Memphis officers who beat man so brutally that he died in hospital days later. You don't have to be white to uphold the white supremacist status quo. (Just as the white supremacist status quo doesn't necessarily benefit you if you are white, in fact it holds the majority of white people down)

What police consider a friable offense is ludacris!

"One thing I'll say is, there are more people than ever who embrace abolitionist politics, and I think that is a testament not just to the continued organizing of abolitionists, but also to the fact that more people do see these contradictions. More people understand that as we keep pouring resources into these death-making institutions, it is very, very harmful to life." - MK

Sadly we need to cancel tonight’s outdoor #NoMorePolice event in Seattle with @deanspade & @DecrimSeattle for everyone’s safety due to high levels of smoke & poor air quality.

In other words, #DefundPolice fund climate resilience & climate demands in #SeattleSolidarityBudget
