THIS IS ABOUT THE ABUSE OF POWER THAT OCCURS WHEN WE GIVE ONE ORGANIZATION ALL OF THE POWER .....and dismantling White Supremacy.

Deadly crimes are not the Majority of 911 calls.. and a significant number of Rape, Robbery and Murder crimes go incorrectly solved or unsolved.

In 2019 A grant helped the Tucson authorities clear a backlog of untested rape kits.... 🤨 a grant??? YES! Because our tax dollars are used for overcriminalization of Black areas.

“wHat aBOut rApe & mUrDEr” you notice the people who ask this are never concerned about the large number of affluent murderers & rapist who get little to no punishment because of our Racially Biased system.

It’s time to unlearn your societal conditioning... abolishing Police means first investing in preventative programs that provide intervention for at risk populations & rehabilitation for addicts & incarcerated people. Those resources will come from DEFUNDING THE POLICE!!

Tr*mp wanted the army to come and deal with protesters. Then the A.R.M.Y. swoops in and donates millions to Black Lives Matter. 

The so-called commander-in-cheesepuff can sit down now.

Minneapolis: ‘Disband, defund,’ or community control, of the police

On June 7, Minneapolis officials tried to pull one over on the people again, in the guise of promising real change after the murder of George Floyd. Nine city council members declared a “commitment to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department.” The announcement was made at community meeting held by Black Visions and Reclaim the Block, two grassroots organizations that have been calling on the council to divest from MPD since 2018.

Even if the proposal comes to pass, it will do little to deliver true justice and to avenge the victims who have been brutalized and murdered by the police over the decades.

“The truth is, these council members can’t deliver what they’re promising, and honestly, they’re not promising real accountability and community control,” said Loretta VanPelt of Twin Cities Coalition for Justice 4 Jamar. “We don’t need the police department remodeled into a public safety department. Swapping out with sheriff’s deputies or private security companies won’t solve anything. We need community control over whoever polices our communities and how.”

Happy Pride and Happy Barricade Day!

We were in downtown St. Paul today, June 5th, in the shadow of the Capitol building and the Cathedral of Saint Paul, calling for justice for George Floyd, Breanna Taylor, and all BIPOC lives taken by the police.

And then for a revolution.

If anyone sees this stupid picture floating around F*cebook and wants to take a crack at it, feel free to borrow my words. Keep up the pressure, don’t relent, and don’t settle.
