The Logic of the Police State

“A closer look at law enforcement arguments against commonsense reforms like independently investigating police violence, demilitarizing police forces, or ending ‘for-profit policing’ reveals a striking disregard for concerns of just about any sort when it comes to brutality and abuse. What this ‘debate’ has revealed, in fact, is a mainstream policing mindset ready to manufacture fear without evidence and promote the belief that American civil rights and liberties are actually an impediment to public safety. In the end, such law enforcement arguments subvert the very idea that the police are there to serve the community and should be under civilian control.”
