I think this headline from a website called “Waging Nonviolence” says it all. What a shot, so to speak, of good news! Perhaps the American people aren’t as supine as we feared!
A newly-formed group of activists are teaming up with Copwatch, an anti-police brutality group that records video of police conduct in their communities, to create “no-cop zones,” and maybe even disarm the police, through the use of direct action. …
The group seeks to monitor and pressure police, with the help of local communities and Copwatch groups, until they retreat from over-policed neighborhoods and then maintain these cop-free zones with alternative, community-based forms of conflict resolution. Along with that, the group also seeks the total disarmament of the police.
“We feel that the police have proven that they’re not responsible enough to carry arms due to the fact that they’ve been killing people so consistently for so many decades,” said a member of Disarm NYPD, who chose to remain anonymous. “We feel that they should be disarmed immediately.”
Godspeed to you all! After you rid New York City of its standing army, I hope you’ll start on the rest of its unspeakably vicious and greedy government. (And thanks to Personal Liberty Digest for bringing this story to my attention.)
