Via @Miisaakan in The End of Policing
Mamdani just hired the author of this book – Alex S Vitale – as part of his transition team. These are his words.
The Police have always been Political, and have never been about ‘Public Safety’:
“Today, states portray their police forces as value-neutral protectors of public safety, but in reality, states continue to monitor and disrupt all kinds of political activity through surveillance, infiltration, criminal entrapment, and repressing protest.”
