An introduction to an anarchist analysis of the oppressive role of the justice system and the police. We’ll present radical alternatives to policing and examples of struggle against the police-state such as within the black lives matter and other movements, with the goal of not just resisting police violence, but creating communities that make the police obsolete. Discussion to follow.
