that white cop really saw a man set himself on fire, and decided the best course of action was to point a gun at him. even as the man lay on the ground, and other responding officers tried to put out the fire, the cop kept a gun trained on the man. truly a diseased way of viewing other people and the world. guns are just the solution to everything for them

We are witnessing a state-created moral panic backlash against calls to defund the police that rivals anything we talk about in similar terms and will have similarly dire consequences for the population. https://www.curbed.com/2023/06/atlanta-cop-city-design-architecture-tactical-village.html

“But if we defund the police who will protect us?” “But if we have no police who will you call when your in danger?” “We need police to keep us safe”
No, fuck you
I had to call 911 while I was at work (I’m a hotel concierge) and the woman who I’m calling to have removed is standing across from me screaming at me while I try and speak to the operator. By the time the police arrive (45+ mins later) I’ve managed to get the woman to leave (after she spent 30+ mins screaming at me and harassing guest) and after I told the cop he goes “cool, it all worked out!” I spent almost an hour shaking and had to lock the doors early.
I’ve had to call cops to come “deescalate ” situations several times and they have NEVER helped the situation, not once.
Once or twice a month a cruiser will come sit in the parking lot for about 5 hours and give ticket after ticket all day.
Defund police because they aren’t providing a useful service, defund police because they don’t arrive quick enough to actually do something and when they do they make the situation worse, defund police because they only put effort in their job is when they need to meet a quota, defund police because when I comes to MY SAFTEY it will ALWAYS be in MY HANDS!
Defund the police because when your calling as a person of colour you shouldn’t have to hope you get a “good cop” defund the police because I will NEVER call them when I’m having an issue with a black man because whatever he’s doing won’t be worth his death.
DEFUND THE FUCKING POLICE BECAUSE ITS A SYSTEM THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT PRIVILEGED PEOPLE AND PRIVILEGED PEOPLE ONLY!! AND EVEN NOW IT BARELY DOES THAT!!

According to the most recent data published by the FBI, the rates at which police forces are solving crimes have plunged to historic lows.
[...]
Since the 2020 Black Lives Matter demonstrations called for police budgets to be defunded, not a single major American city has slashed its police funding. In fact, almost all of them have ballooned spending on police forces. Repeatedly, President Biden has encouraged increased spending on police, recently calling on municipalities to direct their unspent COVID aid toward adding even more cops. The Biden administration requested $388 million in grant funding for police hiring in its 2022 budget proposal, more than double the top figure requested by the Trump administration. New York City even elected a former cop as its mayor, who just a few days ago announced a new PR campaign in support of cops and against the “defund the police” movement.

Just saying we wouldn't need the police if you put the money towards pulling people out of poverty, reducing firearms, social care, education, healthcare, mental health services, public infrastructure, cheaper housing and food.
Just a thought

A Texas judge has ruled that a school district can force Darryl George to cut his natural locs, despite the state’s CROWN Act that prohibits hairstyle discrimination. This is anti-Blackness in a country that they keep telling us has never been racist when they know they are fucking lying!!!
The parents should BUY the school ijs

May the monsters who did this to them know not a moment of peace, may they suffer so badly and may not a grain of goodness come their way. Terrorists ruling this earth and we are here watching and clapping for them
