It makes sense that he would have body armor, given it's ubiquity in the hands of armed white supremacists, reactionary radicals and other violence fetishists in the US. What have you seen that indicates otherwise?
There is no police abolition without the abolition of the white supremacist capitalist state. A replacement community defense force would have to be part of an explicitly anticapitalist dual power in order to keep from becoming the "new cops"
It's a good thing no one's suggesting to abolish all cops with 0 alternatives, then, ya dope. Just because america is in the unique position of needing a special task force to take out all the children who keep waltzing into schools to gun down other children, doesn't mean that we need cops to be the one to do it. The problem with cops isn't that they stop school shooters, it's that they're the ones called in to enforce literally every single fucking law in the country, from dealing with mentally unwell people to enforcing property law, all of this while strapped and with zero accountability.
"Oh, no, this one specific person didn't include a full policy proposal in their tweet. I guess we're just alienating people now!"
:this: is you. You know full well what "abolish the police" means. The police as we know it need to no longer exist: fire them all, and take all the money back we were spending on them. Create programs to address the material conditions that cause crime in the first place. The "new police" that would exist afterwards would be highly educated, extensively trained in deescalation, and only called in serious life-or-death situations. The litmus test should be, "Do I need men with guns to roll up, prepared to take a life to save another life?" and they should be as well educated as doctors.
I hate to be that guy, but if you suggest to abolish all cops with 0 alternatives, you’re just going to look like a childish nut
No, you're gonna make defund the police look like a compromise whether consciously or subconsciously
One party is Q-pilled and the other wants thermonuclear war with Russia, everyone's already a childish nut, there is no father in the sky to judge us, do politics like you mean it

He didn't have body armor, that's copaganda. You're just spouting the bullshit the cops said to cover their asses.

only real suggestion to fixing this mess is mass surveillance of fascists and doing whatever is necessary to stop the spread of fascist ideas
but of course we live in :amerikkka: so
