FROM PUSSY RIOT:
Yesterday George Floyd was killed by a white policeman in a Minneapolis, during a detention a man repeated “I can’t breathe”
In memory of George Floyd, Eric Garner and all the innocently killed - our song "I Can't Breathe"
“We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor, it must be demanded by the oppressed.” - Martin Luther King
Fight!
You have to make civilian workers being in charge of the police institution, we need people with different thinking and different set of goals being heads of the police. Their goals should be to help people to deal with social and economical problems, not to punish them and kill for no reason, as they just killed George Floyd in the US. The government and the police are our servants. Too often they forget about it and think that it's us who're here to serve them.
I visited in German prisons and asked them how they managed to build a rather humane prison system (there's not ideal prisons, but some are more humane than others). The answer was: to put civilians in charge. In ex-Stasi prison in Berlin, a prison where they used to kill and torture people, now a prison abolitionist social worker is the prison boss. And he reformed prison into an organization which goal is actually to help people to adopt for the future life outside of the prison walls. It's all doable. It's matter whether we have will to accomplish it or not.
