Seriously? Are we not beyond patience with this shit yet?

Thirty years after the first episode of Police Brutality Theater (the sickening “Cops” TV show) and the reckless, racist, ravening model of policing it, and its dozens of imitators since, celebrate, can we finally just bring this to a close? Thirteen year after the trauma of 9/11 forced us all to agree to stop thinking critically about police and policing and imposed a regime of unquestioned obedience to uniformed authority even when authority demonstrates stupidity,racist dick-waving hyper aggression, and drooling thuggery, can we end the era of silence and stop behaving like we are all suffering from mass Stockholm Syndrome as our police become exponentially ever more deranged?

We should be done with constant opportunities to ask questions about police use of deadly force. About the indiscriminate or discriminate use of violence by idiot pigs out of control. It’s not about body cams. It’s not about proper training. It’s about disarming the police. It’s about putting the damn dog back on its fucking leash. I want police who know that if they pull their weapon for any reason in the course of duty a highly intrusive investigation will ensue. Probes will be inserted in asses.

I want cops who are afraid to argue with citizens and who apologize for their own existence. I want oversight policies that will hinder hiring and make it hard to recruit anyone who has other options.

I want the job to be so unreasonably onerous that only the most self-controlled and least adventurous personalities on earth can survive.I want it so guys doing security at the shopping mall laugh at the idea of going into a boring and ball-crushing job as a uniformed servant of the public.

We can have neither justice nor security, nor can even nominal conditions of democracy be sustained until we thoroughly unpolice our ideas about how security and justice is understood and achieved in democratic community.

Disarm or disband the police.

Consider this a deliberate provocation.
