It is difficult for me to identify something more reprehensible than armed police attacking civilians. When I see this I do not want a legal response. I want immediate carnage. My response is fully animal: bloodlust.

It’s similar when I see someone attacking a woman, child, or anyone who is passive, defenseless, or otherwise compliant with being dominated. But it’s far worse with police. We -=pay them to defend us=-.

The insult we receive from such egregious abuse is amongst the most cruel of those commonly delivered to us: it is unbearable. We must muzzle, cage, stop, or transform the men and women who become monsters when they don the badge, the uniform, the baton, the guns, and the authorization to harm that comes with the sworn duty to protect.

I ask that we recall to mind the common fact that rapists find perfect camouflage and often even material support amongst protector classes. These classes can even become breeding grounds for these forms of sadism as an outcome of their ideological and functional foundations.

For those who are vulnerable to it, the authorization that accompanies these positions is like a hit of pure domination heroin. This is magnified by the power to arbitrarily enforce their will on those they encounter, largely without regard for consequence.

The character of the resultant intoxication inspires a wide range of primitive responses. Common to nearly all of them is the cognitive capacity to replace human persons with defamatory abstractions — labels — that reframe their prey (common people) as dangerous -objects- and those who destroy them as heroic protectors.

This experience rapidly transforms those involved. Like bears who have hunted humans and eaten them, the intoxicating poisons of hatred and dominance establish a cycle of frustration and sexualized violence whose compelling rhythms become confused with the cadences of duty to truth, hope, and justice. It would seem many of the perpetrators are themselves too damaged or ignorant to realize or clearly understand their own addiction to demonstrations of arbitrary hate.

We must not continue to pay for the ‘privilege’ of feeding ourselves and our children to this monster. It must stop here, in our time.

Now.

With us.
