The new Netflix documentary Power examines the role of police in the United States. We speak to its Oscar-nominated director, Yance Ford, about how policing is used to suppress dissent and protect property in the U.S., its relationship to imperialism and occupation, and the significance of the film's release ahead of the fourth anniversary of the death of George Floyd, the Minneapolis man who was killed when police officers placed him in a deadly chokehold and who became a rallying point for protests against anti-Black racism and police brutality. "The thing that police want to do more than anything else is contain and control threats to order," says Ford. What we still see in the U.S. and around the world today, from the Black Lives Matter movement to the campus Gaza solidarity movement, is "the use of police as small militaries whose job is to suppress dissent."

Imagine just taking a 2 weeks of war funding and put it toward education, healthcare, rent control, accessible food subsidies, and mental health services as needed, for 5 years? We’d bring crime and improve life for everyone across the race and class spectrum. But what power structure wanted an educated healthy underclass?

@@practicaliching2311You may have never worked in a school or lived off of a teachers salary as a single person. I’ve met many school teachers who can’t afford to live where they work. Many school computers are outdated, and why anyone would be learning out of a trailer in 2024 in the richest country 🤷🏻‍♂️ Your number is based on 2022. Military spending was at 3.5%, it’s now at closer to 5% including increase in pay for service people, with a request of a 2.+% increase as well. So many people going into financial debt over healthcare, and I don’t know how that compares to the increase of families living in cars and basically homeless since 2020. We could spend more on services. The good news this week was that one of the north eastern states gave a tiny tax increase to billionaires and millionaires which brought in some bacon and eggs for the state! We have plenty, we just have a distribution problem. Individuals making under 100k paying less taxes then multi billion $ corporations, doesn’t have to be.

The Police Force began in the middle to.late 1800s in Lower Manhattan, in New York City. The men chosen for this new organization were some of the biggest and baddest bare knuckle street fighters in all.of the Five Points. The huge and hulking men were outitted with large clubs and trungeons. There was no money back then for uniforms yet, so they were issued warm woolen jackets with Copper buttons. No one messed with these guys. They were there to maintain order among the homeless beggars and theives. Remember that during this time period the Wild West was being tamed while London was searching for The Ripper! The South was getting ready to defend their way of life and as usual.our Black brothers and sisters were on the very bottom of the pecking order. One day a Draft Notice was nailed to a wooden fence by City Hall. Once read the bottom line was, if you had enough money, you could buy your way out of fighting in the Civil.War by hiring someone else to fight in your place. The common man went berzerk once the word got out. The Draft Riots became NYC History. The Police are supposed to.uphold the Law of the State. They are supposed to follow the Laws that everyone else follows. There should be no individual situations or worse, Cronyism. Everyone should be following the same Laws. Slowly, Mr Floyd was murdered in front of his own Community. No one should be AFRAID of the Police. The whole idea of that is just INSANE to me.

“Anyone who moves” is potentially dead…. The fact that even small children understand the necessity to lay flat on the ground with their arms outstretched is a testament to the indiscriminate use of deadly force against anyone regardless of circumstance. The pointing of a military weapon at an elementary school child even though the officer is calling her “hon” as she gets up, that’s just insane.

Yeah that's because your supposed to comply at the moment that does not mean you're giving up your civil rights because you have the right to go to court and sue that police organization and ensure that your rights are protected so next time they stop someone who may just happen to be black they can know that they can be sued and they will be sued if they violate your constitutional rights which we have seen over and over and over again . But if you are a black criminal and you're committing a criminal offense the police have every right to stop you and detain you and question you it's called an investigation . Bean black does not give you extra civil rights it doesn't give you extra constitutional rights either .

Yeah, same for the people that built cities like Newark, Baltimore and Detroit.

Every time they see POC in their neighborhoods or return to the cities their family built, they are traumatized all over again.

"Filers who earned $50,000 to $100,000 received a tax break of about 15 percent to 17 percent, and those earning $100,000 to $500,000 in adjusted gross income saw their personal income taxes cut by around 11 percent to 13 percent. By comparison, no income group with an AGI of at least $500,000 received an average tax cut exceeding 9 percent, and the average tax cut for brackets starting at $1 million was less than 6 percent. (For more detailed data, see my table published here.) That means most middle-income and working-class earners enjoyed a tax cut that was at least double the size of tax cuts received by households earning $1 million or more. What’s more, IRS data shows earners in higher income brackets contributed a bigger slice of the total income tax revenue pie following the passage of the tax reform law than they had in the previous year. In fact, every income bracket with filers earning $200,000 or more increased its tax burden in 2018 compared to 2017, and every income bracket with a top limit lower than $200,000 paid a smaller proportion of the total personal tax revenue collected. That means that Republicans’ tax reform law resulted in the tax code becoming slightly more progressive - the exact opposite of what Democrats have claimed over the past four years. The IRS data further shows that the tax reform law - which included a variety of business tax cuts, including a large reduction in the corporate income tax rate - spurred economic mobility. Every income bracket with a top level lower than $25,000 experienced a reduction in its number of filers, and every income bracket above $25,000 increased in size, with the biggest gains occurring in the brackets with a floor of at least $100,000. The fact is, Republicans’ 2017 tax reform law did exactly what was promised: It lowered taxes for all income groups, provided the greatest benefits for middle-income households, and spurred economic growth that helped reduce poverty and improve prosperity."
