So it turns out the nypd RPD held down and strangled a man in distress untill he died. This happened MONTHS before George Floyd, but it was apparently buried. Recently they released the bodycam footage, showing he pleaded for the police not to shoot as he was disabled, which prompted them to cover his head with an "anti spittle/bite" hood and knelt on him until he died.
From what i've read, no cops have been fired, let alone charged with anything.
No jokes this time.. i'm sad and knackered and i don't know if i have anything insightful to say about this.. but couldn't find this on the chat, i felt like we should know and not let the murder go unknown.
You don't.
What can be done within capitalism is dispersion, displacement, disenfranchisement, intimidation, sabotage, etc. You know all the tricks the GOP and the torries use to hollow out things like USPS, UK rail, the NHS, Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, public schooling, basic infrastructure? That. These tools exist. Ultimately we won't even start to move in that direction until we, as a society, grow comfortable with the idea that it's better for a cop to die than to kill.
