I've read most of the scholarship about US policing since the early 20th century. What you learn from this is that violence is inherent. You cannot "separate" out violence from policing. Police in the U.S. are violence workers.

6 seconds later, he shoots Renee & says “Fucking bitch.”
We’ve already watched the footage. We know Ross was not afraid to be run over. Yet he shot her out of “self-defense.”
So what was he defending?
Women everywhere know exactly what he was defending: being exposed as emotionally weak. 👇🧵

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.
Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.
Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.
Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

The difference between the people Trump is turning on us from ICE vs the Nat Guard is that the Nat Guard signed a contract during very different times & are obligated to obey orders.
Those motherfuckers in ICE voluntarily chose THIS job, THIS year, precisely knowing it would demand violent cruelty.

ICE is also the fault of a complicit press.
How, where and who did ICE recruit? Why isn't every newspaper in the country devoting themselves to finding out who is in this brand new secret police force that now terrorizes America?
It's the definition of newsworthy. The answer is: they're afraid.
