Redirection of pandemic relief and resources to law enforcement has literally cost lives and well-being — not only in terms of the increased state violence facilitated by the funds, but in terms of the deadly impacts of failing to meet community needs:
Amid many concurrent crises, exacerbated by the pandemic, politicians continue pouring more money—including #AmericanRescuePlan funds—into policing, instead of our communities. We should be investing in proven community-based solutions that work, NOT cops: communityresourcehub.org/wp-…

We always can pour billions into policing and war, but when it comes to care, treatment, and prevention for a deadly pandemic, we can't afford it because we've "run out of money"? This is ongoing abandonment and death-making.

Anthony Wojcik made a career out of brutalizing Black and brown people. It's because of pigs like him the connections between the fight against police murder and police torture make themselves. Learn more about Wojcik’s patterns here: caarpr.org/lt-anthony-wojcik
