And to anyone about to criticize someone for calling the cops because they were getting death threats from Nazis, ask yourself: What alternatives currently exist? Is there a mutual aid network that will protect this person? If not, did the community fail this person?
When I someone I should have protected calls the cops, I don’t badjacket them— I take it as a sincere criticism. How did we fail this person? What could we have done differently? And how can I learn and grow my praxis? I don’t call them out on Twitter like a purist baby, lol.
You deserve more than a snarky response here for me to disagree. Why do you think police provide any sort of protection or engage in any sort of justice process against politically-motivated violent predators? Every shred of experience speaks to the opposite.
When fascist agitators were driving around Portland jumping people outside LGBT spaces, the cops just said the victims were lying and refused to investigate. Even "alternatives to policing" assumes policing serves any function other than maintaining class and racial inequities.
I had recently talked in my circles on similar topics too, and i hope that they understood that message- don't force others to die for your principles That's just shitty pseudoactivism that harms the marginalized and vulnerable in the end, no matter how one paints it
Police violence exists To call the police is to request the delivery of state violence Nazis want to expand the application of state violence Show them what that looks like
