The police are violent enforcers of the rules of capitalism and white supremacy. That is what they have always been. "Objectivity" in journalism is literally a marketing scheme that was devised to sell more newspapers. I'm on team Not The Cops.

The police have total solidarity in their violence.

We don't always have to pretend that we're morally disoriented and unsure who's right. We don't have to pretend as tho right and wrong don't exist. People have a right to rebel when they are being murdered at random with impunity by their government.

Y'all need to keep this supportive energy for all the protesters the federal government is throwing the book at. There are going to be a lot of them facing heavy time, like the folks already facing life. Do not let respectability get in the way of solidarity.
