2022-05-27 16:39:18 The police exist to protect the wealthy—and themselves. As disparities in wealth and power increase, cops protect fewer and fewer people. The gulf between the wealthy and the poor has steadily increased for decades now alongside desperation, gun violence, and police shootings.

There is no safety without self-determination. To be safe, we have to be the ones who define what counts as safety, and we have to have the power to shape the conditions of our lives.

To put an end to gun violence, we have to abolish the disparities that characterize our society. We can begin by supporting student protesters on their own terms and asking what a direct action campaign targeting gun industry profiteers might look like. Open / Comment

Neither Republican calls for more guns and policing nor Democrat demands for more gun control will put an end to the epidemic of mass shootings in the United States. The problem runs deeper.

The function of police is not to protect, but to control. It is not to prevent crises, but to determine who suffers in them. The footage of police in Uvalde physically restraining parents while their children were murdered speaks volumes.

Militarizing police has not stopped mass shootings. On the contrary, flooding our society with even more weapons will only increase the number of killings, whether by on-duty police, off-duty police, or others who have access to their guns.

Democrats are calling for more gun control. But who would enforce stricter gun laws? The police, of course. And they would enforce those laws just as selectively, and with just as much racism and violence, as they enforce all the other laws on the books. Open / Comment

“Sometimes, I don’t want to leave the bomb shelter, even when there’s no air raid alert. At least he won’t beat me when we are surrounded by other people."
