Let's remember that the state is responsible for not just the violence that it directly commits, but for the violence that it tolerates, as well. So when the police don't investigate reports of sexual assault, the state is tacitly legitimizing that violence. https://twitter.com/katiejmbaker/status/1043226600085417984 …

So there's no divide between those who want the police abolished and those who want to see sexual predators face accountability. Without facing the violence of the state for challenging its legitimacy, communities would be free to confront sexual predators themselves.

The goals of police and prison abolition and confronting sexual violence are the same thing. As long as the police have a monopoly on violence, there's no chance we can adequately confront sexual predators.
