some geek: um not all cops r bad ? my dad’s a cop he doesnt kill black people

me internally: all cops are shitty because all cops are accomplices to the systemic repression carried out by the state and they’re agents of violence on both the structural and the individual level….by doing their job aka being a ‘good cop’ theyre carrying out a level of brutal violence and violation that police oversight committees and journalists refuse to see. U can’t demilitarize an institution that protects capitalism, breaks strikes, and upholds white supremacy. U cant sensitivity train away the fundamentally racist, antiblack, and xenophobic purpose of an institution that was created to segregate and criminalize and brutalize people because its very notions of criminality and aggressiveness belong to white supremacy.

everything about what the police are supposed to do is the problem and all cops participate in this. cops exist to maintain the law and order of the capitalist class, to maintain the white supremacist capitalist cisheteropatriarchy, to criminalize and brutalize the poor, the queer, and people of color. all others whose existence challenges the system will be subdued. there are no good cops

Normalise stroking your friends’ hair.

Normalise sitting on laps.

Normalise cuddling up and spooning with friends to take naps.

Normalise ‘I love yous’

Normalise cooking for your friends when they are sick, or just because.

Normalise holding hands with friends for safety, comfort or just because the pressure is nice.

Normalise tight pressure hugs that last a little longer.
