The parallels (which, at this point, are not even 'parallels', it's the same) between the ignorance and lack of interest of US police to do anything demonstrates the vulnerability (or point) of policing: it serves to protect whiteness/property and if it's of low value, "harm rain pon dem". The expansion of even mentioning how Indigenous nations' governments that stand behind them and the United States operate as puppet governments is reminiscent of the situation unfolding in Atlanta, where the Black misleadership is trying to create an training institution of violence with Cop City and up in New York City, with Eric Adams' eagerness to return New York City to 80s-level policing violence.


All of this are irrespective of administration at the same time because the institutions on every level — municipalities, federal and state — have no interest in self-divestment. The mission is to continue the expansion and injection of hegemony at every cost.
