Imagine a future where Black and Brown children don’t have to breathe toxic air from steel smoke stacks spewing polluted particulates. Imagine a future without police—with less crime and more safety. A future where there are enough jobs and housing for all.

This is the kind of radical imagination at the heart of the abolitionist climate movement. The U.S. spends billions on our police forces—dollars that could go toward addressing the root causes of crime, such as poverty and mental health, and toward building sustainable infrastructure. We can build a better world by uprooting injustices at the source and by investing in what communities need to thrive. That’s what the Green New Deal proposes. Let’s create an economy that’s beneficial to the people and the planet.

For the Nazi’s to take power in Germany, one of the first thing they had to do was take over control of the various States’ independent police forces. Herman Goehring was put in charge of Prussia’s police force, and filled it with Nazi Party members. It later was turned over to Himmler and became the Gestapo.

I wouldn't call it imagination. It is Lies, Delusion and / or Madness.

When I read this, I immediately envisioned a Participation Trophy kid who majored in Life Studies and it now living in their parent's basement. This clown has no concept of how the real world works.

Nothing a leftist says can be taken at face value.

Prediction: They will *not* abolish police.

What they are really trying to do is abolish local police departments and have a national police. To protect and serve the politically connected and bust gun owners, etc. And still kill blacks when they feel the need, but without the publicity.

They won’t have to abolish the police. The police are quitting en masse and they’re going to have a hard time finding ANYONE honest and decent to replace them

Oh, the police won’t be abolished.

The only thing going the way of the dodo will the local and state control.

We’ll still have LE.

But it’ll be federal LE.

This is the natural result of believing that man is basically good.

Mankind is sinful.

These guys are making the Bible come true just as God said. They love no rule of law and call good evil. It’s an exciting time to be alive. The sad part is their own ending. Refusing the truth and being unrighteous is a choice.

Getting rid of the nation’s police is the obvious first step in the communist revolutionaries’ aim of overthrowing the (Capitalist) system. That is ALL that this is about.

You’d think the communists in the Democrat party and those running the “peaceful protests” in our streets would learn from history, yet they never seem to.

Bill Ayers, and his co-terrorist, revolutionary communist wife, Bernardine Dohrn.
Both were leaders of the Weather Underground.

The “Black Lives Matter” movement is partnered with the nonprofit group, Thousand Currents.

This is important because the Vice Chair of the Thousand Currents nonprofit, is [former Weather Underground member] Susan Rosenberg.

In 1985, Rosenberg was convicted for possessing hundreds of pounds of explosives. She and her organizations involved in multiple robberies, police officer assassinations, and bombings.

Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years in prison. She spent 16-years in federal prison before being pardoned by Bill Clinton on his last day in office.

Now, Rosenberg is leading the fundraising efforts for Black Lives Matter. ...”

Cliff's Notes: Eric Mann

ERIC MANN, Part 1 of 2

“[Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse] Cullors, 36, was the protégé of Eric Mann, former agitator of the Weather Underground domestic terror organization”

________________________________________

Black Lives Matter co-founder describes herself as ‘trained Marxist’

by Yaron Steinbuch, New York Post, June 25, 2020

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a newly surfaced video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists” – making clear their movement’s ideological foundation, according to a report.

Cullors, 36, was the protégé of Eric Mann, former agitator of the Weather Underground domestic terror organization, and spent years absorbing the Marxist-Leninist ideology that shaped her worldview, Breitbart News reported.


“The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,” she said, referring to BLM co-founder Alicia Garza.

We are trained Marxists. ...”

Mann, Eric – Special Collections and University Archives

Part 2 of 2, ERIC MANN

“Mann was elected to SDS [Students for a Democratic Society] national committee in 1968.[18] He told the Associated Press that he believed in “continuous resistance” against “institutions and policies of corporate capitalism” and that SDS chapters transition from campus protests groups to community groups that would guide students as a “de facto government.”[19]

When SDS splintered into three groups in 1969, Mann, then a leader in the SDS faction, the Weathermen (Weather Underground), adopted the Revolutionary Youth Movement’s belief that violent “direct action,” a euphemism for terrorism, should be used as a tactic to dismantle the group’s perceived power centers of “US imperialism”.[20]

Mann and 20 others were arrested in September 1969 for participation in a direct action against the Harvard Center for International Affairs, which the Revolutionary Youth Movement saw as a university-sponsored institution for counter-insurgency.[14] [21]

Mann and 24 other Weathermen were charged with conspiracy to commit murder after two bullets were fired through a window of the police headquarters on November 8, 1969.

Mann surrendered to the police on four counts stemming from the November 8 incident: conspiracy to commit murder, assault with intent to commit murder, promotion of anarchy, and threatening.[22]

Mann was sentenced to two years in prison of which he spent 18 months in Billerica, Deer Island, and Concord State Prison ...”

Let’s do a quick experiment in Liberal Big Cities for 1 year. Hire social workers to police the city instead of cops. If crime goes down and tranquility up, we can look at changing. (bah hah hah hah hah!!!!)

Treat the police like valued members of society and you can get away paying a reasonable wage to do the job. Make the job an unappreciated hazardous hell where bunker mentality is a must, then you will have to pay a lot and settle for worse applicants. Thats just cause and effect.

The one thing I think this will do is to offer a fig-leaf of legitimacy to jurisdictions that want to cut their payrolls and the cost of paid retirements. This way it looks like an exciting (boy, you’re telling me!) foray into cutting edge policy rather than draconian cuts that will end badly.

Hopefully this will all result in people spreading out instead of all clumping up on the coasts.

What are the big cities if not over-valued brownfields?

Former Communist [Party member] Angela Davis backs Biden because he can be ‘effectively pressured’

By World Tribune - July 14, 2020

Angela Davis, a well-known Marxist and former Communist Party member who won the Soviet Union’s Lenin Peace Prize, said [on Russia Today, aka RT] she is supporting Democrat Joe Biden because it will be easy for leftists to manipulate him.

In a social media post on Monday , Davis said it is critical to get behind Biden, who she said is the candidate “who can be most effectively pressured” by the Left. ...”

The post was excerpted from a Russia Today interview last month [June 15, 2020] .

Russia Today, or ‘RT’, is funded by the Russian government. ...”

___________________________________________________

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
PROFILE: ANGELA DAVIS

* Communist professor at the University of California’s Santa Cruz campus
* Recipient of the Lenin “Peace Prize” from the police state of East Germany in 1979
* Provided an arsenal of weapons to Black Panthers who used them to kill a Marin Country judge in a failed attempt to free Davis' imprisoned lover, Black Panther murderer George Jackson
* Icon of the campus Left and frequent guest speaker at anti-war rallies
* Leader of a movement to free all criminals who are minorities claiming that they are political prisoners of the racist United States
* “The only path of liberation for black people is that which leads toward complete and radical overthrow of the capitalist class.”

Angela Yvonne Davis is a tenured professor in the “History of Consciousness” program at the University of California - Santa Cruz.

A former member of the Black Panther Party, she is currently a “University Professor,” one of only seven in the entire California University system, which entitles her to a six-figure salary and a research assistant.

This income is supplemented by speaking fees ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 per appearance on college campuses, where she is an icon of radical faculty, administrators, and students.

Davis has also taught at UCLA and the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

______________________________________

"In 1970 Davis was implicated by more than 20 witnesses in a plot to free her imprisoned lover, fellow Black Panther George Jackson, by hijacking a Marin County, California courtroom and taking hostage the judge, the prosecuting assistant district attorney, and two jurors.

In an ensuing gun battle outside the court building, Judge Harold Haley’s head was blown off by a sawed-off shotgun owned by Ms. Davis.

To avoid arrest for her alleged complicity in the plot, Ms. Davis fled California, using aliases and changing her appearance to avoid detection.

Two months later, Davis was arrested by the FBI in New York City."
