    Not really talking about brutality, although that varies from place to place, but more the occupying garrison for the ruling class comments. Police structure vary from country to country.

    Also Scotland yard is a building, it doesn’t do anything.

    These days, we know the police are not here to protect the public, rather to serve as an occupying garrison for the ownership class, and while this was always the case, the DEA and war on drugs and the 1033 program have made this role even more clear.

    American police. Police in different countries are structured in very different ways.








  • I have a friend who used to volunteer in Palestine. One of his jobs dealt with evictions. Basically if you’re a person anywhere in the world and you can go through historical documents and find a suggestion that your ancestors may have owned property in a certain place you can present that to Israel and they give the current residents, many who have owned their houses for multiple generations, some of whom have records of their relatives buying the land from the first family, 24 hours to leave.

    There are troops of volunteers who will come down with a moving van and help you load your entire life in because there’s nothing else you can do.

    It’s criminal.

    I’m in KBin and have the same thread but with the first comment that it seems you don’t have.

    It reads “Indigenous land is a tough one. If you stick with that, Israel is just taking their land back, and right wing European politicians have the moral high ground.”
