The cops won't save us, folks. It's going to take all of us working together to beat back the fascists. And the first step is admitting that the police aren't our friends.https://twitter.com/HuntedHorse/status/1050934944942440448 …

The cops have a tough and thankless job... but they can only do so much, and the Fash have gotten REALLY good at talking their way out of getting caught. "I pay my taxes, Officer! It's those Commies in the masks ya gotta worry about!" "Villains With Good Publicity" PISS ME OFF.

No offense, but you're acting like the cops have no agency. The cops are trained, well-paid professionals with one of the strongest union apparatuses in the country. They support the fash because they both worship power, not because they're getting tricked.

Look, I'm not telling you to trust the police. I'm telling you to recognize that the Fash are better bullshit-artists than we are, and are willing to play cops like a penny-whistle in a really bad jazz-band.

The cops aren't idiots. They're bootlickers and racists. No one is tricking them into shit. They have guns and the ability to use them pretty much without consequence. They aren't doing a single thing they don't actively want to do.

Are they? Every single one? Or are there a few bad apples- whole TREES of them, let's not kid ourselves- and the rest are just doing their jobs? Not EVERY cop is a bully-boy with a badge, and to say otherwise is to make US look like the lawless rabble-rousers the Fash say we are.

Every single one of them freely chose to violently uphold a system of white supremacy. Whether or not they believe in white supremacy, they are upholding it. This is why we say "ACAB" and not "Some CAB." ALL cops are are bastards.

Then you've just handed the Fash the MOTHER of all PR victories. "See? We were right! These stupid little Commies have no respect for law and order! They only want to destroy and spread their degeneracy!" Don't do anything that's gonna get you popped for assaulting an officer.

Serious question-- why do you think I investigate fascists to protect my community? Do you think I have special skills that the police don't? I don't. I'm not a superhero. But statistically, the cops would rather harass Black teenagers than confront fascists. Why?

Eh, statistics are maths. Real life isn't an algebra-equation. Look, you wanna not trust the cops? That's fine. I'm on pins and needles if I so much as GLANCE at a prowl-car, so I don't blame you. But maybe take a step back and NOT give the Fash any arrows for THEIR quiver?
