Washington Post Chronicle: Police ‘designed to preserve white supremacy’, not for citizens

SEATTLE POLICE DECLARE RIOT AFTER PROTESTERS TORCHED THE SCENE

“This kind of vicious conspiracy theory, that an American policeman at speed in 2020 America acts as a kind of runaway slave patrol, only requires data verification, but an instinctive check,” Tim Graham, media research director at Media Research Center told Fox News.

“It is astonishing that other people are being fired for the defense of law and order through Tom Cotton, however, this kind of rot is certainly undeniable in the newsrooms they awaken. That turns out to be the internal orthodoxy of the wake-up newsrooms,” Graham said. .

Myers began the article by noting the national protests that have occurred since the murder of George Floyd on Memorial Day in police custody. She temporarily blamed “escalating” tensions in Portland for President Trump’s ruling to send U.S. agents “to supposedly protect the federal courthouse in that city.” The Indiana University professor stated that “the president’s deployment of a highly militarized force without a known popular education had inflamed the situation,” and then wrote that this law enforcement habit was not a new concept.

“The deaths of other black people at the hands of the police are also not new. For more than a century, blacks have been terrified by those who wear blue, Myers wrote, before pointing out that the American police” were designed for white supremacy through the monitoring, capture, assault and murder of blacks.

The Washington Post chronicle then delves into the history of the police in the United States, which, according to Myers, “goes back to the slave patrol” in 1704.

“The other whites were terrified to see other blacks go out at night: they believe the other blacks were conspiring to rebel, commit property crimes, or flee from servitude,” Myers wrote. “As a result, any black user who found out after nightfall stopped at the patrol, searched for weapons, and was forced to show his papers of freedom or a pass signed by his owner. If they tried to escape, they were chasing them.

Myers noted that the original thirteen colonies had legalized slavery at one time and Boston had the first full-time police force funded by the state in 1838. At the end of the civil war, organized police sets attacked the south, where they were guilty of “many of the responsibilities that the former slave patrols had played,” Chakrabarti wrote.

“Formed to be agents of violence against blacks, the police also protected the property of whites, both genuine and furniture. This included the bodies of white women. In the north and south, the law was used to protect the principles of racism and patriarchy, and white women had been considered as elements to “protect” from the sexual predations of black men, Myers wrote. “Without the detail of the control of slavery, the police would now be used to subdue the ‘black animal rapist’.”

The column continued to condemn Jim Crow-era police in the 20th century. Myers wrote that police violence “against nonviolent protesters would possibly have helped pass civil rights laws” by impacting the public, “did not lead to serious reform of U.S. police structures.”

In the 1980s, the war against devastated black communities, he wrote.

“Drug use and drug abuse have been criminalized rather than treated as a disease or a public fitness crisis. That’s when the money literally started reaching the police,” he wrote. “History shows that existing calls to ‘dismantle the police’ are called upon to dismantle the broader white supremacist formula in the United States.

The column concludes: “While the solution to this challenge will be multifaceted, the way forward should be based on the understanding that the police formula in the United States is traditionally and structurally racist. To do this, we want to create a new formula that does not perpetuate the assumptions and practices rooted in the slave patrol ».
