@elbandito2016 @JonBej22 In other words, the same things the 1% have. The neighborhoods with the least crime are not the ones with the most police. They're the ones with the most *resources.* Read The End of Policing by Alex Vitale and Are Prisons Obsolete? by Angela Davis if you want to understand. — PolitiTweet.org

@elbandito2016 @JonBej22 No, I want to #AbolishThePolice. Most people can't imagine what a world without police looks like. They picture criminals running around murdering without accountability. #DefundThePolice means funding for social workers, teachers, coaches, higher ed/trade school, mental health. — PolitiTweet.org

@elbandito2016 @JonBej22 None of the people I help doing my job fantasize about murdering me for doing it. None of the people I help doing my job have anything but gratitude for me & recommend my help to others they know. Can you say that? You lock people in cages at gunpoint! What is there to discuss?! — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@elbandito2016 @JonBej22 You abduct people and put them in cages at gunpoint. There is no possible way that's not evil. Quit your job and we'll talk. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@elbandito2016 @JonBej22 You arrest people and put them into a system that, systemically, is racist and punitive and dangerous to queer people. Systemic means the system is the problem. It means that even if the individual cop and judge aren't being racist, the outcomes are racist. Your job is fascist. — PolitiTweet.org

It doesn't mean cops came from virgin births. #ACAB means a cop's job is to enforce state-sponsored violence in a racist anti-queer system to protect & serve rich white people & systemically punish & destroy the lives of everyone else. It's impossible to be a good person & a cop — PolitiTweet.org

@DerekMcLellan2 @ripx4nutmeg Jail & prison are not interchangeable. Jail is before trial. Prison is after, IF you're convicted & IF sentenced to serve time. Let's not pretend you’re engaging in good faith. You don't want facts, you want to discredit & disparage me. Blocking. — PolitiTweet.org

If your business model depends on paying your workers anything less than a thriving wage with good benefits, you're definitively exploiting desperate people in systemic poverty & have no right to expect any sympathy whatsoever for not being able to continue being a piece of shit. — PolitiTweet.org

@DerekMcLellan2 @ripx4nutmeg I've never been in prison. Prison is for after conviction and sentencing. This is jail, where you are held after being arrested and charged, but before your trial. 74% of incarcerated people in the US have not been convicted of a crime. This could happen to anyone, including you. — PolitiTweet.org

@odetteroulette @KeeangaYamahtta Compassion is a skill that you get better at with practice. I try to ask myself, is what I'm about to say the most compassionate thing I could be saying? People tend to do terrible things when their needs aren't being met and/or in response to abuse. We can do better if we try ❤️ — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@odetteroulette @KeeangaYamahtta Thank you for your kind words. I'm traumatized and in severe physical pain. It will probably take me years to heal, if I ever do fully. I'm in physical therapy, pain management, and talk therapy. It will get better with time & medical care, I hope. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@odetteroulette @KeeangaYamahtta I agree that in this case, with this murderer, it's very unlikely he will ever be able to become a peaceful, decent person. He's a career cop, a sadist by definition. But we have a moral duty to try, and institutionalize him until we're successful, if ever. Prison is torture. — PolitiTweet.org

@turtillachip I've been a prison and police abolitionist for years. I regularly recommend the book Are Prisons Obsolete? by Angela Davis and The End of Policing by Alex Vitale. Eg: https://t.co/LyMC1Q83On — PolitiTweet.org
