New York City, capital of the world, is a bloodbath free-for-all with stabbings and muggings occurring every day with impunity. I’ll take the police state at this point, thanks. We’ll see how the public decides when Dems got thwomped in the midterms. (I wanted Bernie btw).

"When democracies fail to address constituent's needs, authoritarians seize power" ~Ilhan Omar Neoliberalism is the potting soil for fascism, resulting in social unrest & laying the ground for authoritarian crack-down on civil liberties

Intimidation by the barrel of a gun ... Our police forces need to change ... Militia members need to be removed ... Social workers need to respond to most domestic calls ... and no guns!

In the midst of deciding? Who are you kidding? We’ve always been a police state 🤦‍♂️

1/2 Read "The Dawn of Everything" by Graeber & Wengrow. Police might be community members chosen @ random annually with only office staff on Y-O-Y payroll. Police one year, next civilian; should check violence under color of law.

Our local politics look like our global politics war, war, war.

Apartheid in Isreal is also a good thing to speak out against. Police states being bad after all.

No

What makes you think WE get to decide the appropriate use of police power?
