The point was always the expansion of the criminalization and surveillance machinery.
Don’t fall for it.

The art of the deal: The NYPD spent $150 million to catch farebeaters who cost the MTA $104,000.
The massive increase in overtime spending coincided with just a two percent decrease in serious crime.

I feel like a broken record at this point but investing in communities directly is the only way to move towards a thriving state. Investing only in police and policing systems will NOT get us there. #divestfrompolice #investinpeople
@claudine515 “What we really need to be doing is looking at the root causes of why things break down in our communities, and it’s because people aren’t appropriately supported. If we really stop and listen to what people need, it’s not investing in more police power.”
A dear friend and loved by many was killed by negligence. How can a city government claim to care and "honor" him, yet hire 19 more officers into the same police dept who mocked him and threatened the people who tried to save him? Fund the #PeoplesBudgetTempe #DivestFromPolice
Don’t forget, we sent out a questionnaire to the 4 applicants to see how they interpret the role of the Inspector General. Click for the results #blacklivesmatter #peoplenotprisons #divestfrompolice
The incoming Inspector General must be committed to moving forward with accountability to the greatest extent of their discretion. Because accountability is not enough.

If the #cops can't even protect a little blond white girl from a serial spousal abuser, what good are they anyway? Time to #defund #defund #defund! #DefundThePolice #gabbypetitio #GabbyPetitoCase #LaundrieParents #divestfrompolice #divest #BLM #BlackLivesMatter
using the same tired "solutions" to these problems is not the wave bro. We should be investing in community systems and opportunity. Do better. figure out better solutions. that don't include sending youth to prison or getting caught up in the system. #divestfrompolice

“We helped commission Sat’s #KYDerby plane banner in support of @BLMLouisville @BlackMarketKY & Black women everywhere who have been killed, brutalized or discriminated against due to systemic racism by police."--@ElisaBatista, @UltraViolet #DivestFromPolice
We stand with Black women & girls. We support #DivestFromPolice to invest in community-led safety. Good on @BLMLouisville @BlackMarketKY @UltraViolet & @ColorOfChange for their airplane banner during the 147th running of the #KyDerby. #WeKeepUsSafe
"Injustice is on full display today in #Louisville, which prioritizes corporate profits over Black & brown women staffing the #KYDerby & facing over policing, food & housing insecurity due to low wages. This violence must stop.” --@ChanelleHelm, @BLMLouisville #DivestFromPolice
"As a Black woman, protection comes from my community. Not the police. I am tired of tensing up every time I see a cop car. Their legacy of tyranny needs to end here." --@ShauntriceLove, @BlackMarketKY #KYDerby #AirplaneBanner #DivestFromPolice
277 Black women and girls have been senselessly shot and killed by police since 1995, according to @WashingtonPost. We need to #DivestFromPolice & invest in community-led safety. #WeKeepUsSafe #KyDerby
“[The UN submission] was a vehicle for us to push and put pressure on the city to really change their priorities and change how they do their work going forward.” - Rachel Lopez, @DrexelKline
And we won't stop the pressure until they #divestfrompolice. https://t.co/5ySkwKcwwA
Chauvin’s defense testimony right now: “Police officers don’t have to fight fair.”
Exactly. It's not in the interest of the police to keep anyone safe. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

there was nothing "accidental" about the for-profit companies, consultants, prominent police leaders, and politicians who marketed Tasers as a "reform" for police violence.
#RT @ColorOfChange: This week is in cognitive dissonance at the #ChauvinTrial:
People who wield guns and unchecked power are also expected to care for people in crisis.
It's time to move on, y'all. #FundBlackFutures #DivestFromPolice
