Alain Delon, the last emperor of cinema has laid down his arms

A great wild animal has died, who fascinated and divided at the same time. An icon of world cinema, an instinctive actor with incandescent beauty but also an avowed reactionary with a huge ego, Alain Delon died Sunday at the age of 88.

Pay attention to the narrative shifts concerning state-sanctioned violence and police brutality here in the U.S. 

There’s going to be liberal gate-keeping and piecemeal reforms designed to make you feel more comfortable and less angry. 

Police forces function as an oppressive force of the state. Across the entire world. Don’t let upper-class bourgeois bullshit placate you - Canadian police maim and murder just as French and Japanese police do. 

We don’t want reform - we want abolition. 

And the BS that city councils and state officials across the US are formulating now (like DeRay’s “8 points”) will not provide any solution to the heart of the issue.
