when they say "political" they mean a challenge to white supremacist imperialism. Read up on the history of Haiti and how their "sin" of defeating one of the most powerful Empires in the world in 1804 resulted in centuries of the west's intentional punishment of Haiti.
The International Olympic Committee ruled that an image of Toussaint Louverture, born into slavery and and leader of the Haitian Revolution, on Haiti’s uniforms violated Olympic rules barring political symbolism

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

my favourite part about this is how it characterizes being a historian as just obliviously spewing dates and nouns at people.
