The continued killings of Black people at the hands of the police in the United States has contributed to an environment of continued marginalization and oppression.

The author is arguing that

-multigenerational oppression of black people

-permanant underclass of mostly poc formerly incarcerated people w/o access to employment

-easy access to guns

-sympathy of public to anti police actions

Creates a situation where the US is likely to developed a non centralized anti police insurgency. The author then argues that the US should reform policing to prevent such an insurgency.
