Ben And Jerry’s Takes A Stand Against Police Brutality

 

[The founders of] The Ben and Jerry’s ice cream company recently took a bold stand against police brutality, with the announcement that they will be selling “hands up, don’t shoot” t-shirts to support victims of police murder. The founders of Ben and Jerry’s posted a picture to their Facebook page this week where one of the co-founders of the company can be seen wearing one of the t-shirts.

There was a message featured below the picture which read:

Our scoop shop managers got to meet THE Ben and Jerry at the annual franchisee/manager retreat! Stay tune to see how our shop will implement Ben’s take on “hands up don’t shoot” campaign to address police brutality and empower children of color.

Humanize Palestine

“Humanize Palestine attempts to restore the humanity that is often stripped away when Palestinians are reduced to calculative deaths, forgettable names, and burned and mutilated bodies, rather than people who shared loved ones, stories, dreams and aspirations.”

Retaliation Against Cop For Reporting Police Brutality

 

Because of numerous reports of police brutality and use of excessive force, many have asked why the good cops do not report the bad  ones.

 

I no longer need to address that in the comment section of this blog.

 

Now former Baltimore police detective Joe Crystal tells his story in the following video. Joe has sued both the Baltimore Police Department and the police commissioner for not protecting him from retaliation.

The Colonialism of the Present

 

Scholar and activist Glen Coulthard on the connection between indigenous and anticapitalist struggles.

…

Demonstrations against the police murders of Eric Garner and Mike Brown in recent months have adopted tactics that, to me at least, seem reminiscent of some indigenous practices in Canada: the seizing and blocking, if only temporarily, of major public infrastructure, for instance.Do you see connections in these struggles?

The blocking tactic, the impeding of critical infrastructure and flows of capital through that tactic is an important one, but more so, I think the expressions of anger and outrage and resentment towards a state that is profoundly violent, colonial and racist is really where I see the relationship.
