"We are the Thin Blue Line"
"We are not your enemy"
I wanna be straight with some folks here: black kids like this lil guy and millions more don't have the time for your incremental justice reform. Which is really just a fancy way of saying we're still waiting for most of white Americans to actually start giving a shit - not just token gestures of support; things that amount to only very slowly pulling that knife out of our backs that's been there through the centuries of oppression, subjugation, theft, and murder.
We suffer political oppression, economic exploitation and social degradation. All of 'em from the same enemy. The government has failed us. You can't deny that. Any time you're living in the 20th century, 1964, and you walking around here singing "We Shall Overcome," the government has failed you.
[applause] This is part of what's wrong with you, you do too much singing.
[laughter] Today it's time to stop singing and start swinging.
[laughter, applause]
The traumatization has been going on since the old slave catcher days, and basically still having to sing "We Shall Overcome" to the pigs as white allies stand about paternalizing the victims.
This is one of the most repugnant things the police have done in a year marked by how shitty the police are. Wow. Can't fucking believe people support the police.
Ive been sick to my stomach about this since I first heard about it.
Can only imagine what the mother was going through during all of this.
Fuck all cops.

You're suggesting the PD that firebombed a house and let an entire black neighborhood burn to deal with a group of assholes would do something like this? It's not like the Philly PD gunned down the people trying to flee the fire either.
No, I don't believe any of this.
Ok, I've had enough of this shit. If we own Congress after Nov and we don't stack the Courts after Jan 22 so we can pass down hard laws against the Police union(union must pay money when getting sued and not the tax payers as example), which in turn, will sue and then get rejected by a 9v6 Democrat SC at the end, I will not vote Democrat again..
I can't accurately convey how angry this whole story and the situation in the US makes me. It is so frustrating. So horribly, denigratingly frustrating.
Personally I wouldn't call MOVE "a group of assholes", that's kind of a messed up way to refer to a black liberation movement who were victims of a racist hate crime.
Maybe you can now see why people have been advocating for defunding and abolition.
The literal topic of this thread?
Yes they deleted it, but it will still get circulated in right wing/family groups.
I absolutely would. They regularly harassed people, sometimes violently, were a serious public health issue, opposed science and medicine, and made multiple terroristic threats. They were the victims of a horrendous hate crime but they only seem like the good guys because the other side was just unspeakably evil.
Weren't most of their activities just protest demonstrations about animal rights? I know they had some strange beliefs (like primitivism) but have no knowledge of what you are claiming specifically. Where are you getting this information from?
I don't have any links at the moment but it's all public record from the trials against them, specifically the one against John Africa. They had decent goals in their black, animal, and anti-pollution activism but apparently their tactics were limited to violence and intimidation and their targets were literally anybody who hadn't changed their name to Africa. They were a full-blown cult.
Anyway, back on topic, this is one of the most disgusting things the police have done this year which is an impressive feat.
The only solution has to be that New Jersey town's move. Dissolve all PDs around the country (thereby dissolving their union contracts), then recreate local services from scratch that don't have such insane protections. And then aggressively union bust any time the people carrying firearms* attempt to unionize.
*so other first responders are fine; but if you carry a gun or the power to arrest, then you forfeit the right to unionize
