SOMETIMES police are kind. SOMETIMES police are helpful. SOMETIMES police are fair—DO NOT conflate this w "police are kind" "helpful" "fair" — PolitiTweet.org

Police depts were NOT formed to protect PoC. They were formed to protect capitalistic investment, real & personal property—including slaves. — PolitiTweet.org

White folks, I KNOW you're struggling with this idea that police are dangerous. You think police exist to protect you. You're right. — PolitiTweet.org

My parents were in high school when there were still sep water fountains & theater seating for people of color. This is NOT ancient history. — PolitiTweet.org

The police forces also prevented/quashed slave uprisings. During Reconstruction, the very same racists went back to work enforcing Jim Crow. — PolitiTweet.org

We must take care to grasp the ROLE of police in American history. In the South, early police were actually slavery patrols for runaways. — PolitiTweet.org

If you're white & thinking "But police are always so helpful/kind/fair—is this true?" YES YOU'RE WHITE That's exactly what we been saying — PolitiTweet.org

We CANNOT TRUST police. We cannot count on them to help us when situation is dire. Often if we call, WE get arrested. It's designed that way — PolitiTweet.org

Why we say #FTP ( #FuckThePolice)? Bc even "good cops" are complicit in a racist justice system built on the oppression of Black people/PoC — PolitiTweet.org

It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains. — PolitiTweet.org

Cops in Britain don't even carry GUNS. There is NO REASON for police to have this kind of artillery unless they gonna kill a WHOLE LOT of us — PolitiTweet.org

They wanna use it WHETHER OR NOT IT'S NEEDED. They PERCEIVE a need for it that DOESN'T EXIST. Our peaceful protests become LIFE-THREATENING. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

Ya'll need to understand: When police acquire this kind of equipment, they train on it. When they're trained on it, they wanna go use it! — PolitiTweet.org
