Police don't stop violence. They respond to violence that has already occurred with their own threat of violence. #DefundPolice is about minimizing their role and power in our society. https://just1voice.com/anti-racism/defund-the-police/?utm_source=tumblr&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=revive

In President Joe Biden’s 2023 State of the Union address on Feb. 7, there was one honest moment. Biden said, “I am a capitalist.” Well, he fudged a bit; he should have said, I am a capitalist and a servant to capitalism. But that’s a quibble. Behind all of the rhetoric of “leave nobody behind,” almost everyone — with the exception of the wealthiest 1%, including the arms dealers, big oil and gas, and, of course, the Pentagon — have been left behind.

Support for Kenosha, WI protestors against police!

On 8/23/2020, police officers shot an unarmed Black man named Jacob Blake in the back, 7 times, in close range, and in front of his children. As of 5AM 8/24, Jacob Blake's relatives reported that he was alive, out of ICU and surgery, but still fighting for his life. Witnesses report Blake was breaking up a fight between two women when police tazed and shot him.

Kenosha Police have called a citywide curfew, and are reportedly attacking protestors with chemical weapons and using unmarked vehicles (thread with police scanner activity here). Gov Tony Evers deployed the National Guard against protestors while claiming to stand against excessive force and escalation against Black people in WI. The Milwaukee Freedom Fund made a statement on on FB around midnight, extending legal support to all Kenosha protestors.

UPDATE 8/24: Donate to support Jacob & his family here!

Please protect the identities of protestors in news you share (especially in images/video), and, if you are not Black, do not further traumatize Black people by spreading video of the attack without adequate warnings.

[Image Description: A photo of a 29 year-old Black Man, Jacob Blake, with a goatee and shoulder-length braids, hugging his 4 children and smiling next to a fountain or monument at night. 2 screencaps of a Milwaukee Freedom Fund Facebook post made around midnight on 8/23/20. They read as follows:

We are saddened and angered to hear of the police once again shooting a young Black man, especially a young father that is reported to have stopped a fight from escalating before being gunned down. Milwaukee Freedom Fund wants to extend our support to protesters in Kenosha. Our request help form is here: https://bit.ly/MFFArrestHelp. We help with bail/tickets/connecting protesters to lawyers. Info for protesters:

Make sure there is someone outside of protesting that knows your legal name and birthday so we can look you up if we need to.

If you are arrested- DO NOT TALK about what happened while in jail unless you are talking to your lawyer. Phones and visiting rooms are recorded.

You have the right to remain silent and ask for a lawyer.

Most arrested protesters are ticketed and released that process can take hours. If someone is detained, their bail is set and charges are read usually the first time they see a judge. In Milwaukee, that’s been a few days. Once bail is set we can help pay it, if you’re given a ticket for protesting we can help pay that too, if you need a lawyer we can do our best to set you up with one. *We are not lawyers and we cannot go to precincts directly. We are volunteers who will help the best we can.

Edited to include: This post has gotten a lot of attention and some folks may be unfamiliar with MFF. Please know we do not reserve calls for justice for “perfect victims” and we see bringing out a person’s history as attempts to silence and minimize. If several police officers can’t arrest a person without shooting them several times then that is the issue we need to address. The police are not meant to be judge, jury and executioner. Keep focused. Info we have on what happened: The young man with his children is a 29 year old father named Jacob Blake. He was tasered and shot in the back 7 times today by police officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin. There is a video of the entire incident, but we will not be posting that footage here. There was no point and time that a firearm should have been pulled, let alone this man be shot 7 times, in the back, while trapped by his vehicle. His condition is unclear. Varying reports at this time. If there are additional actions to show up for or links to support his family please let us know. https://facebook.com/events/s/community-unity-accountability/710234002864196/?ti=icl]

Think about your reasoning behind posting #blacklivesmatter. Are you doing it to gain justice and equality for black lives? Or simply to be part of a movement without any contribution beyond a black screen? Or are you enjoying captializing on this movement and these protests?

Think about what you’ll be doing in a months time and what you’ll be using your social media platforms for.

Join petitions to better black lives matter.

Join petitions to all the black lives lost who deserve justice.

Petition to defund the police.

Donate if you are able to.

Support black businesses.

Change your own mindset to being anti-racism and to imparting this onto those closest to you.

To whoever this makes uncomfortable, I'm sorry but this isn't a fight between black vs white; this is good against evil.

Civilian Oversight: Rebuilding Trust in Law Enforcement Civilian Oversight: Rebuilding Trust in Law EnforcementFull Episode on ProPics TV Sbustack and True Crime and Justice TV The limitations of internal affairs led many to advocate for greater civilian oversight of law enforcement. Civilian review boards composed of community members rather than law enforcement officials were tasked with reviewing complaints against police, conducting independent investigations and making recommendations for disciplinary action. Proponents of civilian oversight argued that it provided much needed external accountability and helped to rebuild trust between police and the communities they serve. They argued that community members with their lived experiences and perspectives were better equipped to understand and address issues of police misconduct.#LAPD #CRASH #Scandal #Police #corruption #Crime #truecrime #Justice #Corrupt #BLM #Defundpolice #policeboard #Lawenforcement #Policing #PublicSafety #FBI #SecretService #DHS #Homelandsecurity #Borderpatrol #Corruptpolice #history #America #UnitedStates #policeofficers #Policedepartment #Sheriff #Deputy #LosAngeles #NewYork #Washington #Detroit #ChicagoPD #DetroitPD #Texasrangers #Miamipolice #Policeunion #policeoftiktok #FYP #Foryoupage #fypageシ

Let’s not forget this.

[piscesinthedeepblue]

Don’t be upset when someone calls you out on your ignorance; learn from it.

Don’t get angry when someone calls you a racist; become anti-racist and spread that message and knowledge.

Don’t deny it when someone points out your privilege; use that privilege to do good.

Don’t let racism and hatred learnt from anywhere and anyone continue to feed that negative emotion in your heart and open your mouth to spread vile words.

BE THE CHANGE.

PAVE THE PATH.

SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE.
