cannot say this enough: the illegitimacy of the police must be confronted now because *every* *single* austerity measure that is coming down the pike *depends* on brutal police enforcement to be carried out
who will carry out the coming tsunami of evictions? who will restrain and confine people displaced by this hurricane season, and on the food lines? who will quash the mass rage and grief of the next COVID waves? the cops who are trying to beat docility into everyone right now
if you are feeling a desperate brazenness in what cops are doing right now, if you are sensing in our miserable leaders a combination of resignation and being held hostage, all this is why. they don't just know what's coming: the system depends on it. this is existential for them
one more thing: it is a matter of time, weeks if not days, that sundry pols, pundits, grifters & thinkovators will start shilling for more surveillance, predictive policing &c as a "less violent" "alternative" or "solution" or even as compatible w "defunding" DO NOT FALL FOR THIS
