Deconstruct the Police

Send us Fan MailWhat's up to my optimistic octopi and impish illustrative ibexes! You've been scaling old dams lately for mineral salts, my dear Siberian ibexes. I see you. You are valid. This episode is a bit of a heavy one my lovies but it was what my soul was called to do. 52 years and 1 day ago, the great visionary, orator and revolutionary Fred Hampton was murdered by the FBI in Chicago. He was shot in his own bed after being drugged and betrayed by his police informant bodyguard. Fred Hampton would be 72 years old if he were still with us today. Only in an alternate reality where he was not murdered by the FBI at just 21 years young would we know what great and inspiring accomplishments, speeches and victories would have adorned his life in 2020. But Fred Hampton was taken from us. Taken from all of humanity. Robbed from us by state sponsored terrorists with badges. It is to this brutal white supremacist force of state sponsored terror,  still very much with us to this day, that this week's episode is devoted to deconstructing. In order to overcome we first have to understand.  It's time that we deconstruct, dissect and dismantle the police. As Sun Tzu said: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.Join the BNP on a rough and rocky journey to map the racist origins and ultimate spiritual intent of police forces and law enforcement agencies in the United States and Canada. What makes up the soul of the police? This episode is meant to get people thinking, not just about the fucked up-ness of the cops, but also to start imagining ways of triumphing over this force on the way to its inevitable abolition. Because make no mistake: eventually the police will not only be defunded but abolished altogether. Consider this episode an extended prayer to that end. Next episode we will explore the details of what society after police looks like. Spoiler alert: it looks safer, chiller and more fun. Please rate, review and subscribe to the BNP!
