Police are not apolitical. When you get pulled over odds are you’re being pulled over by a Trump supporter.
Assume that the cop that has pulled you over is #MAGA. The assumption could save your life.
Assume that the cop that is testifying in court revels in the same cruelty as Donald Trump.
Once we remove the facade that police are apolitical and we view them for what they really are, then defunding the police becomes an imperative because billions of city dollars go to support their right-wing, paramilitary organizations.
Policing in this country at is core is political dogma. A right-wing political ideology that has managed to convince you that they are apolitical actors
Forgive me but I’m having to live tweet my own podcast cause this shit is hitting me like a ton of bricks how we have failed to label police what they really are
Police are fundamentally right-wing paramilitary organizations that siphon off billions of dollars every single year from cities across this country and do so in support of right-wing authoritarian ideologies.
