US police use force on 300,000 people a year, with numbers rising since George Floyd: ‘relentless violence’

Derek Chauvin was sin eater for the entirety of the police force. A sacrifice to sate the dogs. Our fascist police state was never gonna give an inch beyond that. ACAB etc.

And the streets are empty.

It really seems like having a Democrat as president demobilizes the masses.

I remember Adam Johnson calling a Democrat admin a pressure release valve for US politics, and it's a very apt metaphor

Well at least Brianna Taylor got some justice in her murder wait hang on

Ok but have you considered some democrats feel really bad about it, and that this is all caused by Donald Dump not having the police arrest enough people?

And don't you tankies realize that the real violence is when you use the word "all" in "all cops are bastards"?

Lol i had a chud jerking that rope in a thread just a day or 2 ago. You could almost hear how proud he was to have come up with this wisdom

The civility-brained libs in my life trot this one out all the goddamn time. It's the most thought-terminating of the thought-terminating cliches. They interpret all systemic critiques as "dehumanizing," broad generalizations. It doesn't matter how I phrase it, I absolutely cannot get through to them.

Chuds (and many liberals) cannot grasp that we do not believe that literally every cop is a spouse-abusing, mega-racist, wanna-be serial killer with a badge; rather, they are all in service to institutions that treat people as being worth less than property, and a system that is designed to protect and elevate the interests of the rich and elite over those of others, and THAT is why they are bastards. That many of them are abusive sociopaths only emphasizes the point, it is not the point itself.

More deportations under Democrats too.

More genocides, or at least, the intensity of genocide has increased dramatically.

You can vote for the jails to be half full or half empty.

I am always mad at libs when they talk about harm reduction cause they can never really point to any harms that have been reduced. Cause like, even when they are better about some things they are just the same or worse on others

It is almost like it not a Republican or Democrat problem but an American Problem.

GarbageShoot

•

I think it's more accurate to say it's both a Republican and Democrat problem. Calling it "an American Problem" instead just mystifies the institutions that are actively perpetuating this.

Uh yeah of course. Democrats gotta win and the way to prove that you're winning is to make numbers go up. Any numbers. Doesn't matter what those numbers are or what they represent if they're going up its good smuglord

It should be emphasized that the cops since George Floyd have beaten, hospitalized and crippled over 1 million Americans

And these are just the reports we know about
