i normally roll my eyes at abolitionists as I think theyre a bunch of bytchmade, flakey intersectional feminists and criminal justice is just yet another patriarchal hierarchy they must topple
.
With that said, one thing they are absolutely right about is how American policing is
inherently flawed and cannot effectively provide resolution and healing to people, especially operating in such a violent and production minded framework.
Like, and neg me if you want, but i think people wanting to
call this racist or call these individual cops c00ns or whatever are completely missing the point. These killings are very rarely the result of an individuals feelings or perceptions. This shyt is truly the definition of a systemic issue.
Plug
any race into the equation of American policing and you get the same results: ignorant, jack booted thugs who lack any real training, insight, or resources into quelling a conflict using non-violent tactics. They by and large cannot conceptualize operating outside the continuum of violence which is the only tool they are equipped and trained on.
And America being such a bytch made country that refuses to educate, house and unify its citizens actively encourages and justifies cops to operate so callously, especially since its usually poor Black people on the other side of police abuse.
Those men deserve to be punished, fair enough. But I dont think they woke up with the desire to kill other black folks. I think these were largely ignorant men with little to no marketable skills who saw policing as a viable career. They could leverage their bodies for a decent wage, get a pension and bennies, and never have to leave Memphis to do it. No brainer right? They know the neighborhoods, are hood kids so know how to take care of themselves, and the force/the union encourages "roughin em up a lil" to get through the day and will back them if shyt hits the fan. Hell beating perps has even probably saved the lives of both cops and citizens at some point so it becomes even easier to justify. The beating of Tyre Nichols may have been brutal to us, to them it was just Saturday.
To me, that is the worst crime in all this. America is so broken and turned into such a cold wasteland. Regular people, by virtue of just trying to survive are being fed to the abattoir and dont even realize it until it’s heytoo late.
judging by the way they pulled up on him he was in a lose/lose situation, being helpless like that is the WOAT
I'm not gonna watch the video. But I know this if that was my people they wouldn't make it to court. They'd have to go into witsec or something...
