Essential reading before you go
We know police forces around the world share tactics for policing protests, so we asked protesters in seven countries to share strategies for defending themselves. https://novaramedia.com/2021/04/09/police-brutality-how-protesters-resist-state-violence-around-the-world/">https://novaramedia.com/2021/04/0...
@RivkahBrown spent weeks researching this long read on police strategy in Bristol. A force known as relatively progressive has come to epitomise the extreme response to the #KillThBill movement. For some, itâs a shock. For others, itâs business as usual. https://novaramedia.com/2021/05/01/what-happened-to-the-bristol-police/">https://novaramedia.com/2021/05/0...

Still relevant: @RivkahBrown on the role played by the police and state in Sarah Everard& #39;s murder. https://novaramedia.com/2021/03/11/whether-or-not-a-cop-killed-sarah-everard-the-police-are-complicit-in-what-happened-to-her/">https://novaramedia.com/2021/03/1...
So how do we defund the police in the UK?
@tomgk90 and Koshka Duff explain how activists can formulate demands drawing on the long-standing abolitionist campaigns and traditions of resistance that already exist in Britain. https://novaramedia.com/2020/06/13/would-defund-the-police-work-in-the-uk/">https://novaramedia.com/2020/06/1...
