We don’t need videos.
As the Ayotzinapa 43 families have been saying since 2014, after 43 beloveds in Iguala, Guerrero, were disappeared and likely murdered, including by police, “We want them back alive.”
Meaning: they never should have been killed.
We shouldn’t need videos to somehow prove that we want every single person murdered-by-cop to be alive. That their names should still be spoken to them, here in this world. That each and every person assassinated by police was loved and lovable, and never deserved that kind of death.
We shouldn’t need videos as evidence that there are no good cops.
The proof is in the grieving people left behind, the uprisings fueled by rage and sorrow, the abolitionist and stop cop cities/academies organizing and direct action, the myriad forms of solidarity, the murals and tags on urban walls, the DIY altars.
“We want them back alive.”
For that to have full meaning, we want and need and fight for a world without police.

Even though it’s good Jewish anarchist practice to defy the papal state’s imposition of the Gregorian calendar—and thus the christianized and capitalistic time that now reigns supreme, along with the cops they need to protect their brutal world—and embrace 5783 years of lunisolar cycles that attune us to the diasporic dreams and magical moons—it’s always good to celebrate 13/12, aka December 13. That is, until police are obsolete! Which is what today revolves around: fighting, organizing, and rising up—as well as prefiguring alternatives in the here and now—to put the institution of policing into the dumpster of history.
#TowardAWorldWithoutPolice (and the time of popes, states, fascism, and all else that goes hand in hand with cops).
