Keep the fucking cops outta our synagogues. That’s not gonna help at all besides alienate black and brown Jews, trans Jews, and other intersectionally marginalized Jews more and put the whole community further on edge
Cops can’t and won’t save us, white supremacists are in the force.
Okay. We’ve gotten a lot of replies to this post from people like @halfwitwolf or @sideshowaarti who are ignorant or confused on the subject, and many more who are intensional boot lickers, so let’s make our position clear.
Cops exist as an institution to feed into the legal system, ensuring the prisons maintain population and ensuring that civilians are subjected to state violence. The rich are essentially immune to these punishments. The enforcement is lopsided against minorities, and then the legal structure is ALSO lopsided. On top of that, the laws themselves are lopsided. Every single cop – regardless of their individual details – are the actors of state violence and, by definition, carry out the most direct front ofbcivilian contact with oppression. Every single cop upholds every single form of oppression because the law is oppressive, the legal systems are oppressive, the prisons are oppressive and the state is oppressive. A black cop is still upholding and enforcing white supremacy, no matter how much he deluded himself into thinking that he’s “changing it from within”. We don’t want representation in the police force – the police force is oppressive by definition. It’s domestic state violence. They are the footmen of enforcing bourgeoisie sensibilities and desires at the expense of everyone. It’s the same with the military. We don’t want “diversity” in the military – the military’s only real function is imperialism and murderong millions abroad in the name of securing profits and markets for the capitalists to benefit from. A black soldier is still shooting kids in the Middle East, him being black changes NOTHING. A gay cop is still participating in class warfare on the side of the bourgeoisie, working against her own community and other marginalized communities.
All cops, every single one, are bastards. They are class traitors and “diverse” cops is the most ridiculously liberal bull crap. Individuals cannot and do not disrupt the systematic nature of oppression from within the system. Individual cops are irrelevant, and ones thinking they’re good apples are the biggest fools of all.
