  • Realistically, our local and federal law enforcement has always been like this. See: Blair Mountain, Black Wall Street, the Jim Crow South, the post-Jim Crow South, any of the L.A. Riots, Ruby Ridge, the entire history of the Texas Rangers, COINTELPRO, Black Lives Matter, or the life and times of J Edgar Hoover, just off the top of my head.

    The only difference right now is that we’ve let it get so out of control that now the average white American are getting caught in the collateral of what is otherwise standard operations. So now it gets treated as unique. But it’s the same shit as always, just bigger.


  • Individually, they’re dumb, out of shape, and, if you’ve been paying much attention, pretty cowardly. So yes, a single cop is fucking joke. But as a group they’re better-armed than many militaries, are legally protected from the VAST majority of their own crimes, and have an insane culture of solidarity not only internally, but with the moneyed class.

    You fuck with that loser once and you’re inviting a team of violent idiots and a judge to legally fuck with you the rest of your life. You actively defend yourself from that team of violent idiots and a judge in turn, and I am not exaggerating when I say you’re inviting a militarized response. There’s a reason that so many of our cops can get away with being so mean, dumb, and weak.


  • Yeah so the issue is that our police have been militarizing and their unions have been persistently dismantling accountability laws since the 80’s, using racist propaganda as cover for their actions. Now that it’s fully mask-off, it’s less, “what’s the community going to think about this” and more “what can the community even do about it?”

    The white population of this country has not only allowed, but quietly encouraged, the stripping away of every safeguard we have against our police because they never thought it would be used against them. They were told that racial minorities were going to pillage and rape their uncanny white picket suburbs and remote podunk towns any day now, and that the only law enforcement could save them. But only if it was unchained from any sort of safeguards previously installed on it and given the proper tools of pillage.

    So, like, we’re fucked I think. We have a VERY long and painful road ahead of us if we’re going to dismantle all these violent gangs we’ve embedded in our government.
