Let's be serious for a moment: the problem with "defund the police" wasn't that it was a shit slogan. It was because the slogan was deployed in a context of omnipresent white supremacy, and sought to target one of its most effective tools: the police. And it did so through targeting its resources.
Sherrilyn, It was. A slogan has one job and it fucked itself, setting back real reform and driving a wedge between those committed to such and so many potential allies. Bury it. Move on to any number of alts: Police the Police, End The Drug War, Mass Incarceration is a Crime, Demilitarize Policing.

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying.
They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Hey so this modern terror squad is doing exactly what they were hired to do. This has always been about terrorizing residents into submission. He didn't cozy up to dictatorship fans for shits & giggles. He idolized them and wants to be one.
