Barely a month into 2023, and our broken policing system has already taken multiple lives - Faisal, Tortuguita, Keenan Anderson, and now Tyre.
We all have a choice. Will we turn our heads away or will we get up and protest?
We urge you all to protest and take the streets.

3 days b4 the horrific crime in Memphis, Faisal was killed by Camb Police when someone called 911 since he was in mental distress. Instead, the police came & pumped 5 bullets into his 20 year young chest full of dreams & hopes

Copaganda accts like would have you believe it's in Boston's best interest to mobilize the entire BPD to prep for a riot after #TyreNichols's video drops, but let's not forget who was out of ctrl after George Floyd's death: The BPD. #bospoli

BPD has blocked off abutting streets perpendicular to Tremont st during protests of police violence in solidarity with family of #TyreNichols. For those of us who protested in Boston in 2020, these streets (winter & summer, temple, west) became high conflict choke points.

Kind of ridiculous how there’s like 6 police helicopters hovering over #TyreNichols vigil in the Boston Common. It’s a goddamn candlelight vigil, let people mourn without the tension of a helicopter overhead.

A protest at Washington Square Park in NYC is preparing to gather in response to the public release of Memphis Police Department bodycam footage showing the killing of Tyre Nichols. Skaters set the scene here. Nichols was an avid skateboarder himself. #TyreNichols #NYCProtest

To be silent and complacent when police violence doesn’t rise to the level of sheer spectacle is its own form of slow violence and brutality.

Six months from now, when contrarians are benefiting from their shallow understanding of abolition and making a sport of calling abolitionists naive, I hope people remember that police violence occurs even when there isn’t a recording of it.

I can’t understand how anyone can think that abolition is the naïve position. Is it not naïve to think you can reform institution that is inherently oppressive and violent? When does police reform become futile for reformers?

After countless police stops, being told that they’d plant evidence on me, that no one would believe me, that I wasn’t worthy of protection; and then being a researcher, who witnessed police torture and violence because I was too insignificant for them to attempt to conceal it;

Like many abolitionists, I arrived at this position after a lifelong journey, which forced me to be realistic & appreciate the brutal reality of policing. This approach embraces a honest understanding of the oppressiveness of policing, not a naïve understanding of human nature.

This sadistic countdown on a video the police could have released at any time was all about narrative.
They switched the conversation from the murder on their hands to “bracing for riots,” calling for “peace.”
YOU be peaceful. YOU killed a man. They want compliance, not peace.

We should remove police from traffic enforcement. The routine traffic stop is not the only problem but it is a real and big one justifying a large amount of unnecessary citizen police contact which obviously has deadly consequences all too often.

Let’s be clear: politicians knew this video was coming out and their first instinct was to brief their comms department, not their policy department. And that’s an issue.
Less “we need to have a statement ready” and more “we need to have policy ready.”
Period.
