The origin of police in the US is rooted in systemic racism, slavery, and land dispossession. Volunteer militias composed of white settlers hunted & captured enslaved Africans attempting to escape bondage. They slaughtered Indigenous people to clear the land for more plantations
Their function has always been to wield violence in order to protect white capital and private property. They didn’t even bother to change the famous star-shaped badge that the early slave catchers and Indian killers were given.
The system is not broken, it is working exactly as it was intended to. The sooner we come to terms with the fact that we live under a white supremacist, capitalist colonial regime, the better we can educate our communities, agitate for our freedom, and liberate our people.
