as someone who believes in PIC (prison industrial complex) abolition i cant advocate for killer cops to be convicted. by doing that i justify the need for a system i want abolished. this is hard because we want “justice” but arresting one cop at a time can’t dismantle capitalism
racial capitalism uses police to protect property and to destroy any radical opposition from the working class. punishing a cop with imprisonment wont destroy the system that nessitates police. it wont dismantle the system that that historically legalized black death. abolition✊🏾
i’d rather trade one cop “maybe” being arrested for 2 MILLION prisoners (victims of carceral violence) being set free. ABOLITION. Always remember history shows us that the empire will hold to our COLLECTIVE demands. don’t be afraid to think radically.
there’s prisons all over this country and people still get raped and murdered daily. we need new methods of addressing harm cause locking people in cages doesn’t work. maybe communities having resources like access to food and housing and quality education might 🤷🏽‍♀️
