Know:
- A lot of information going around now. Policing in the US is based in slavery and white supremacy, unique to the systems in the US.
- Also tied in relationship to property (including enslaved people as property). Connected to capitalism. Due to loophole in 13th amendment, policing is an entry point for people to be entrapped in prison labor.
- "13th" documentary on Netflix
- Prison reform hasn't worked. Ideas to have police do racial justice training likely won't work. Interested in global connections, like police presence in Hong Kong. Connection between policing & imperialism.
- Bail system is unique to US and Philippines.
- "End to Policing" by Alex Vitale
