Slave patrols

The origins of modern-day #policing can be traced back to the "#Slave Patrol." The earliest formal slave patrol was created in the Carolinas in the early 1700s with one mission: to establish a system of #terror and squash slave #uprisings with the capacity to pursue, apprehend, and return runaway slaves to their owners. Tactics include the use of excessive force to control and produce desired slave behavior.

Nothing has changed...

6/21 Colfax Massacre, 1863 was a reaction to the 1872 gubernatorial #election.

Like the #CivilWar and other #uprisings or #coups or #insurrections we'll see, if they're not proacting before an election, they're reacting to an election that did not go the way they wanted.

I would love to see a comparison between #BLM-related #uprisings and the last episode of #Andor. Also curious about Welsh miners strikes in the 1980s.
