the words below have been reposted from Unravel. note that “IU” refers to Indiana University, whose flagship campus is in the city of Bloomington.

On April 25, the anniversary of the IU student encampment beginning against the genocide of the Palestinian people by the state of Israel, I went after the Indiana State Police. One year after they first raided the encampment I spread carpet nails outside the Monroe County barracks, intending to damage the tires of police vehicles.

We cannot moderate the negative effects of policing through better training and laws. That is what empowers the police to threaten and carry out their violence. We don't want them to do their job “more appropriately,” “more effectively,” or “more properly.” Join the fight against the police. Join the fight against every state.

It is worth remembering that U.S. law enforcement officers, including police chiefs, as well as homeland security, border patrol and ICE executives, often train with Israeli police, army and security officials. They have the same program. It is also materially impossible for the state and capital to police the whole social terrain. Look for the gaps.
