  1. History lesson: Police or “law enforcement” was created a a gestapo for Capital. Community protection was done by the community itself, community watch. As industrialization and the Gilded Age came the ruling Robber Baron capitalists pushed the State to create a “law and order” outfit to keep the peace in urban areas. But what they actually wanted was an authoritarian boot on labor and the poor to protect their capitalist interests. You see as these tycoons and fat cats called industrialists got wealthier and went out of their way to but politics labor was for the first time organizing in the US. Labor Unions and socialist political groups, would arise to defy the Robber Barons control of their lives as well as fight for labor rights. Whenever labor organized and protested or strikes the capitalists would call in the Police to do their duty and break up the organization. And they did it aggressively as you can expect from any State authority. Remember the Haymarket disaster, that was why Police was formed. To maintain the underclasses in line protect and serve capital. Hence the police’s history of harassing the lower classes like workers, poor, homeless, and very much people of color. It is time we have a serious discussion about this authoritarian branch of the State. It is another tool of control and violated our civil rights and liberties very much. As you can see militarization of police exacerbated their potential as an authoritarian’s force. Easily implement a police state if the government wanted. The leftist position is abolish the police. Return to building community networks, relations, and watch groups. Who do you think is better suited to protect your community? The community, or the State and government? Facets of what police do can be done by watch protection groups, which are community members and volunteering to serve the community. Detective work can be done by professionals dealing in serious homicide crimes. The reactionaries will oppose this under guise of law and order, but reactionaries will always show their true colors as authoritarians. Not to mention that police force existing undermines the very constitutional right to bear arms and community militia protecting their communities. The State just took that power from civilians for their own control and capitalist interests. Radical or not, humans deserve better than a force that can at the drop of a dime be an oppressive tool against you and your community. Police force aren’t peacekeepers, that nonsense is not true. They aren’t a Jedi order. They were founded as an authoritarian tool, and they always will be.
