Para aquellos que cuestionan los modos de resistencia; que se preguntan qué significa pensar por cualquier medio necesario; que saben que los demás no nos liberan, y no hay libertad sin lucha; y para aquellos que dan su vida por la libertad de todas las maneras día tras día; esto es para ustedes; para nosotros; para la liberación colectiva.
Recuerden: Esto no es un juego. Esto no es para la influencia o los gustos. Esto es una guerra y estamos luchando.
La resistencia ineficaz es insuficiente. Des-financiar a la policía no es suficiente (¡¿ realmente queréis fuerzas policiales privadas?! Reformar la policía no es suficiente. (Un cazador de esclavos siempre será un cazador de esclavos). DEBEMOS ABOLIR LA POLICÍA, ¡PUNTO! Eso es por lo que la Formación FTP está luchando en estas calles. Ése es el desafío que tenemos ante nosotros. ¡ELLOS HICIERON UNA MALDITA GUERRA CONTRA NOSOTROS! La respuesta de Minneapolis fue una respuesta adecuada, y apunta la dirección para la autodefensa colectiva y la autodeterminación. Es nuestro momento de luchar. Y no nos detendremos. Tenemos esto. Sabemos lo que significa mantenernos a salvo [...]."

Listen Listening to the voices of black Minnesotans: Part 1

On Sunday, MPR News aired a special call-in program focusing on the experiences of black Minnesotans this week. Marianne Combs hosted the hour and introduced it this way:

"This has been a challenging week on so many levels - the grief over the murder of George Floyd, the demands for justice, and the chaos that has ensued on our city streets. We are living in a heightened state of fear, anxiety and plenty of rumors and disinformation to go along with it.

Everyone is trying to figure out which story they're hearing is the real story. Are the people smashing up our stores locals? Or did they come from out of town, or out of state? Is the destruction the result of impassioned protesters enraged by yet another black life snuffed out? Or is it the work of white supremacists taking advantage of civil unrest? Were our city and state leaders too slow to respond? Or are they simply facing unprecedented historic challenges?

There is no one narrative here ... and we need to live in that ambiguity and parse through it as best we can. That's part of what we're going to try to do here today. And we also need to figure out what to do next."
Guests:

Ihotu Jennifer Ali with MN Healing Justice

Activist and former Minneapolis NAACP president Nekima Levy Armstrong

Minneapolis City Council member Andrea Jenkins

Mike Griffin with Community Change

[Entrevista, subtítulos y transcripción disponible en ING  subtítulos ING, en castellano con traductor]

Las protestas masivas que siguieron al asesinato policial de George Floyd en Minneapolis el 25 de mayo han cambiado drásticamente la opinión pública sobre la policía y el racismo sistémico, ya que "des-financiar a la policía" se convierte en un grito de guerra del movimiento. Discutimos el momento histórico con la legendaria académica y activista Angela Davis. "Nunca se sabe cuándo las condiciones pueden dar lugar a una coyuntura como la actual que cambia rápidamente la conciencia popular y nos permite de repente avanzar en la dirección de un cambio radical".

This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report, The Quarantine Report. I'm Amy Goodman. As the nationwide uprising against police brutality and racism continues to roil the nation and the world, bringing down Confederate statues and forcing a reckoning in city halls and on the streets, President Trump defended law enforcement Thursday, dismissing growing calls to defund the police. He spoke at a campaign-style event at a church in Dallas, Texas, announcing a new executive order advising police departments to adopt national standards for use of force. Trump did not invite the top three law enforcement officials in Dallas, who are all African American. The move comes after Trump called protesters "THUGS" and threatened to deploy the U.S. military to end, quote, "riots and lawlessness." This is Trump speaking Thursday.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: They want to get rid of the police forces. They actually want to get rid of it. And that's what they do, and that's where they'd go. And you know that, because at the top position, there's not going to be much leadership. There's not much leadership left.

Instead, we have to go the opposite way. We must invest more energy and resources in police training and recruiting and community engagement. We have to respect our police. We have to take care of our police. They're protecting us. And if they're allowed to do their job, they'll do a great job. And you always have a bad apple no matter where you go. You have bad apples. And there are not too many of them. And I can tell you there are not too many of them in the police department. We all know a lot of members of the police.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is also calling for an increase to police funding. In an op-ed in , he called for police departments to receive an additional $300 million to, quote, "reinvigorate community policing in our country." On Wednesday night, Biden discussed police funding on The Daily Show.

JOE BIDEN: I don't believe police should be defunded, but I think the conditions should be placed upon them where departments are having to take significant reforms relating to that. We should set up a national use-of-force standard.

Well, for more on this historic moment, we are spending the hour with the legendary activist and scholar Angela Davis, professor emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz. For half a century, Angela Davis has been one of the most influential activists and intellectuals in the United States, an icon of the Black liberation movement. Angela Davis's work around issues of gender, race, class and prisons has influenced critical thought and social movements across several generations. She's a leading advocate for prison abolition, a position informed by her own experience as a prisoner and a fugitive on the FBI's top 10 wanted list more than 40 years ago. Once caught, she faced the death penalty in California. After being acquitted on all charges, she's spent her life fighting to change the criminal justice system.

Angela Davis, welcome back to Democracy Now! It's great to have you with us today for the hour.

Absolutely. This is an extraordinary moment. I have never experienced anything like the conditions we are currently experiencing, the conjuncture created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the recognition of the systemic racism that has been rendered visible under these conditions because of the disproportionate deaths in Black and Latinx communities. And this is a moment I don't know whether I ever expected to experience.

When the protests began, of course, around the murder of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery and Tony McDade and many others who have lost their lives to racist state violence and vigilante violence - when these protests erupted, I remembered something that I've said many times to encourage activists, who often feel that the work that they do is not leading to tangible results. I often ask them to consider the very long trajectory of Black struggles. And what has been most important is the forging of legacies, the new arenas of struggle that can be handed down to younger generations.

But I've often said one never knows when conditions may give rise to a conjuncture such as the current one that rapidly shifts popular consciousness and suddenly allows us to move in the direction of radical change. If one does not engage in the ongoing work when such a moment arises, we cannot take advantage of the opportunities to change. And, of course, this moment will pass. The intensity of the current demonstrations cannot be sustained over time, but we will have to be ready to shift gears and address these issues in different arenas, including, of course, the electoral arena.

It's about shifting public funds to new services and new institutions - mental health counselors, who can respond to people who are in crisis without arms. It's about shifting funding to education, to housing, to recreation. All of these things help to create security and safety. It's about learning that safety, safeguarded by violence, is not really safety.

And I would say that abolition is not primarily a negative strategy. It's not primarily about dismantling, getting rid of, but it's about reenvisioning. It's about building anew. And I would argue that abolition is a feminist strategy. And one sees in these abolitionist demands that are emerging the pivotal influence of feminist theories and practices.

And what we're calling for is a process of decriminalization, not - recognizing that threats to safety, threats to security, come not primarily from what is defined as crime, but rather from the failure of institutions in our country to address issues of health, issues of violence, education, etc. So, abolition is really about rethinking the kind of future we want, the social future, the economic future, the political future. It's about revolution, I would argue.

You write in Freedom Is a Constant Struggle, "Neoliberal ideology drives us to focus on individuals, ourselves, individual victims, individual perpetrators. But how is it possible to solve the massive problem of racist state violence by calling upon individual police officers to bear the burden of that history and to assume that by prosecuting them, by exacting our revenge on them, we would have somehow made progress in eradicating racism?" So, explain what exactly you're demanding.

I'm thinking about the fact that we have been aware of the need for these institutional strategies at least since 1935 - but of course before, but I'm choosing 1935 because that was the year when W.E.B. Du Bois published his germinal Black Reconstruction in America. And the question was not what should individual Black people do, but rather how to reorganize and restructure post-slavery society in order to guarantee the incorporation of those who had been formerly enslaved. The society could not remain the same - or should not have remained the same. Neoliberalism resists change at the individual level. It asks the individual to adapt to conditions of capitalism, to conditions of racism.
