Democratic politicians supported the proliferation of law enforcement, on public transportation, in schools, even inside homes, a move that has only served to increase the number of people killed by police. Democratic policies are what first empowered the police to become a violent force against the left and in deference to Trump. What Trump understands is that the glory, power, and social currency of the police serve as the backbone for authoritarianism in the United States. It is a militaristic, hyper masculine system which is impervious to change and maddeningly difficult to monitor.

    I’m not here to debate a bad faith troll Crab. It’s Saturday morning and I have a bunch of stuff to do.

    Try not to put words in other peoples mouths, you’re smarter than that and can argue without misrepresenting what they said.
