As communities around the nation have taken to the
streets in the ongoing movement against police brutality the question of
the police and their role in society has taken on new importance. With
the police killing a Black person every 28 hours, a movement is
emerging that challenges the idea of who they protect and who they
serve. The very origins of their institution is saturated with racism
and violence. From their beginning as a force to quell strikes, urban
riots, and the threat of slave insurrection, they have always existed
primarily as enforcers of the 1% and protectors of private property.
Join the International Socialist Organization for a discussion about
the origins and function of the police and their relationship to racism,
class, and capitalism.
