The anti-fascist that can be described is not the the eternal antifascist

A comment below this video had it right. Something to the effect that he can’t find ANTIFA anywhere, but PROFA is everywhere he turns his eyes.

"Author of ‘The End of Policing’ Alex Vitale explains how much policing communities really need to create a more equitable society."

This is eleven minutes worth in an easy-to-digest almost mainstream format, and I’m posting it because I owe Mr. Vitale a good bit of attribtuion, cribbed from the interview he gave Michael Moore, as described in the ‘Most Peculiar’ post of two days ago.

"They fear that any involvement of the police in their lives will make their lives worse and not better."

Even a white boy can relate, to wit:

Percentage of my own police encounters that

• Had a clearly negative impact on my life: 58%
  (A low estimate that doesn’t include the simple negative impacts like wasted time, but does include one instance of being detained and handcuffed for reasons that weren’t even reasons.)

• Had a neutral impact on my life: 42%
  (Let go with a warning, for instance, because I wasn’t doing anything to violate the public safety–flashing some idiot with highbeams on with my own highbeams, and having it turn out that the idiot had a badge)

• Had a clearly positive impact on my life: 0%
  (One time when I was a brand new homeowner and member of the propertied class, I called them to get an illegally parked car out of my driveway. I’m not sure I’d do that again, but I mention it in the spirit of full disclosure)

If my skin were any browner, the neg percentage, and the raw numbers of encounters overall, would be much higher. There’s a far too high chance that I wouldn’t even be alive to write this.

Defund now.
