They wouldn’t have to hurt us if we didn’t try to stop them.
This is the mentality that drives cops to respond to police brutality protests with more brutality. *They* get to decide if we’re safe from them, not us. It’s the abuser logic behind everything in this country that serves white supremacy.
Police brutality is a weapon of white supremacy. People who try to take that weapon away get that weapon pointed at them. The crackdown is white supremacy refusing to give up power, and the right to keep that power through violence and fear.
“They want to abuse their power, and their base wants to see the abuse. They want to gaslight us, and they want us to see the gaslighting. It’s all just different ways of expressing domination.”
