    In Greece, one teenage anarchist was killed by cops and they've had a riot on his anniversary every year since. In the US that's like. Your average Tuesday.https://twitter.com/kulturalmarx/status/994113732409094144 …

    i support europeans saying ACAB and all but your cops aren’t cops. french police shoot around 10 people a year. the guardian estimates american cops kill well over 1000 people a year but nobody knows for sure because the cops don’t even need to report when they’ve killed someone

        There's a lot of white privilege in the replies and quotes of this tweet.

        Cops everywhere are the agents of oppression but the way Native and Black communities are policed in the United States is unique and that demands special attention. And that policing comes directly from the legacy of European colonialism.

        If I told a Black person to stop playing "oppression Olympics" because cops arrest white Americans, too, I'd get rightfully eviscerated. A four orders of magnitude difference in the per capita cop murder rate is actually worth calling out.

        Police brutality against Black Americans is measurably, dramatically, and factually worse in every way than it is for any other population in any other Western white-dominated nation. There's no contest here.

        Nor does it detract from other nations' police brutality issues to call out the unique issues here.

        Also in Greece: the police cannot chase a suspect onto university grounds, it is considered a safe space.

        Im a bit ambivalent about this discourse, yes, US policing in general is a lot more life threatening than in most EU countries, but there are i think a few things to consider...

        First of; its not that the mostly white anarchists in DC got shot, nor do the many white sport rioters in the US. EU cops have killed protestors of colour also on a massive scale, example; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_massacre_of_1961 …

        Also, white leftists do get killed in Europe too, alexios in Greece but also Remi in france are some recent examples; https://en.squat.net/2014/10/27/france-protester-killed-in-clashes-with-police-at-the-zad-of-testet/ …

        I think the main difference is police riot tacticts that are employed, and i think you have to acknowledge that those “less likely lethal” riot tactics where developed in response to the far lefts militant answer to heavy handed policing of EU political unrest.

        It is an astonishing display to frame policing purely in the lens of riot control.

        See the rest of my responses, i chose riot control as that is a subject most in my expertise and i think is a good microcosm of police behaviour in broader society.

        The German Autumn, Mai 68 in france, the ETA in spain, the german and dutch squatter riots in the 70s and 80’s, the troubles in ireland, N17 in greece, Italys years of lead etc etc all can be directly traced to heavy police repression.

        Yeah. Here in Sweden it has several times been enough that people just show to protest/block scheduled deportations of refugees for them to be "rescheduled"

        I did disagree with the quoted thread. So, because our pigs tend to not leave their victims dead, their racial profiling, deformed harassment, misogyny, etc etc etc is somehow less bad? Just stop the oppression Olympics. It's not cute.

        The person who made it did clarify that what the meant was that US Cops are deadlier in general. But that those in Europe are still opressive and bad.

        The point as I saw it wasn't that EU Cops are less bad. But rather that you can't use the same tactics of resistance in the US as they are militarized there.

        And what came out of all of that was a decade of anarchist organisation and work, and they're now out there helping refugees where the Greek government refuses to.

        I'd love to see the stats for the EU as a whole. I expect it won't be quite as peaceful as they say it is.
