They know that the police in major cities are there to oppress, and make money for the state, not to protect and serve.
Let's roll with that thought for a minute. I think there's a disconnect in that thinking; let's start with the fact that all of our major cities are run by democrats. The mayors and city councils have been deep blue for generations in most cases. So, if the police in those big cities are there to oppress and make money for the state, then one assumes the Dems are in league with the oppressors and sharing in the profits, no? So, why are they now all up in arms about defunding the police? Are they trying to cutoff their own money supply? Fewer police means less revenue for the state AND the Dems, right? Seems doubtful. Or, they're lying their asses off and have no intention whatsoever about defunding the police, it's called lip service which they are extremely good at.
Now let's talk about making money for the state. How much money do you really think the state is getting from the police oppressors? How much damage has been done over the past year in our major cities, that's gotta wipeout most if not all of the money from the cops. Show me how police oppression makes that much money, and then show me how defunding the cops doesn't reduce however much the take is.
To suggest that the police are oppressors is absurd. Some cops do misuse their authority, that's true. Yet the democrats who should be getting rid of those bad apples are not doing so, which kinda makes the people in charge (democrats) the oppressors. They could be stopping the so-called oppression, but they ain't, why not? In most cases that have made the news, we see a minority person who has a weapon and will not surrender it; that's not oppression by the cops, that's survival. So it's really weird, the minorities vote for the democrats who are NOT fulfilling their duty to protect and serve their constituents. They are in effect voting or the same people who are oppressing them or allowing it to continue for decades. Getting rid of the bad cops and even worse politicians would go a long way towards reducing any oppression, but it starts at the ballot box.
I disagree with most of that post.
I believe you are looking at it through a partisan lens. Sorry. City councils are not entirely Democrats. . . they are a mix.
While I do agree, that, ostensibly, the DNC appears to be controlling all of the major metropolitan areas. . . if you do a little research into the issue, almost all local politics have been infused with Agenda
2020 2030. Whatever. The international corporatists control urban politics now. The system is run by money, and corporate influence.
The masses vote for whomever the corporate media TELL them to vote for on the state granted monopolies, by the interlocking directorate. This directorate is global. There is a much, much larger agenda here.
The opponent of their agenda? It is the will of the people. It doesn't matter if it comes from the left, or the right. POPULISM is what they fear the most. Whether it is in the form of Occupy or Tea party. Whether it looks like Trump or Sanders, they do not care. And they do whatever they can to ignore, discredit, and disparage it at every opportunity.
We all saw the burning, looting and rioting by Antifa and BLM. I am pretty sure, that yes, most of those protests were probably peaceful. Just like the protest and rally with Trump at the capitol was peaceful. And, just like the capitol hill debacle, it would not at all surprise me, if there were agent provocateurs that were mostly the spark that started the burning, looting and rioting in the cities, they had folks at the capitol, I did the research on this.
If they can cause chaos, they can bring in corporate power to solve the crises. This is what the leadership has always done to create change. It is called ORDO AB CHAO, it is 33rd free mason for, order out of chaos. That was the tattoo that George Floyd had on his chest.
It's not about making money for the "STATE." I went off message and made a mistake, you caught me, I apologize. The folks that CONTROL the state are the ones that primarily benefit. It's about controlling the population, and keeping the oligarchy in control. If the enforces have benefited through graft and corruption, that has, up to this point, been fine. But now? With AI and robotics, IMO, they are going to see less need to depend on them. And their grip will tighten. That is just my hunch as to what this is all about. I admit, I could be wrong.
The police only generate money for themselves when graft happens . . . that is the nature of corruption. I never intended to say it was a revenue stream for the law enforcement agencies of the municipalities.
As far as the use of unnecessary force? If you read that article by Serpico, that issue is addressed. I understand your POV. Police could be better trained if the STATE wanted to, but they do not. I have looked into this issue, quite in depth. They have very, very little training in de-escalation, and a ton in reactive use of force.
I am telling you, there is a larger agenda, that will affect all people. It is motivated by power and profit. I'm just glad that the Police Unions have so quickly seen it, and supported Trump the last election cycle.
