Most crime is white collar crime - maybe we should let the police focus on the real criminals. The corporate masters they serve.

Your nuts. We need protection. I’ve seen the gangs taking over. Have you not seen cartels and isis taking over other countries. Do you want that? Unfortunatley we need them. Not all people have good intentions.

Dig deeper. Acknowledge that policing is the social outsourcing of white power dominance directed principally at the descendants of slavery in an unbroken continuum in form and practice extending to all the "points of no return" in Africa. White fragility must have it.

"Policing" we do not need; "Peacemakers," perhaps.

Defund the police! Think of all the money that could go to healthcare, education, and the arts.
San Diego PD officer Christopher Leahy murdered a mentally ill homeless black man- Phillip Sewer- and was given a medal of courage and promotion! We witnessed it. No one cared. Say something #killercops #SayHisName #RayshardBrooks #GeorgeFloyd #PhillipSewer #BlackLivesMatter

On June 23, 2010 a rocket-propelled grenade tore through Private First Class Russell Madden's vehicle. At twenty-nine, he had enlisted in the Army because he needed health insurance to cover treatment for his four-year-old son’s cystic fibrosis.
