nah because at this point if youre white and your reason behind defunding over abolish is something like “i want to be able to call the police if i am in danger” you’ve already lost the little respect you had from me and i’m not gonna bother listening to a word you have to say. you have already proven to me that you believe YOUR life and safety is more important than that of an entire race of people (and not just Black people, in US at least any non WASP group who is not cis male and het is inherently a target for police). you’ve proven that despite countless of Black people dead at the hands of police, directly or in directly, what concerns you most is how your white life will suffer and lose power if my Black life is a little more protected.

ion speak for everyone but i know that i, a young Black woman, wanna be able to call someone if i’m in danger too. you think i don’t wanna believe there are institutions to keep me safe??? in an ideal world, i believe and know there is an institution with my interests at heart and my life as a priority that is ready to protect me and my peers. BUT THERE ISNT. in fact that institution actively wants and needs me and my peers dead. it has been built that way since it’s creation. with this in mind, it just feels like to me that the reasons white liberals have to be against abolition are so fucking selfish. it’s all about YOUR safety. YOUR property. YOUR white ass life.

Black people absolutely cannot coexist with the police. we end up dead and our killers run free. if you can you know of Emmett, Tamir, Trayvon, Breonna, Rayshard, Stephon, Alton, George, or most recently Daunte, and still be worried about your own life and safety as a white person who benefits from these cases, then you really do not give a fuck about Black people and i wish y’all would stop pretending you do. i really feel like it’s not up to fucking debate anymore. for the sake of Black lives, the police must be abolished.

this is very much OK to reblog but do not add shit if you aren’t Black.
