In Defense Of Abolition

September 24, 2026 Tempest National Committee, Counter Punch. Strategize! Abolition, Democrats, George Floyd, Liberal class, Police abuse, Rebellion2020

Six years ago, the racist police murder of George Floyd sparked the biggest uprising in the history of the United States. Across the country, over 26 million people poured into the streets for months in a mass multiracial movement against the police and jails that enforce U.S. capitalism’s class and social inequalities. Calls to defund and abolish the police emerged as organic demands of the movement. The burning down of a Minneapolis police precinct proved more popular than both presidential candidates. Faced with a profound crisis of legitimacy, the two capitalist parties each in their own way launched a counteroffensive to shore up and expand the police state at the core of our bourgeois democracy.

Trump’s ‘Beautification’ Plan Turned Community Parks Into Policing Traps

September 6, 2026 Nick Fulton, Truthout. Educate! ICE, Police abuse, Trump Administration, Washington DC

The expenditures are enormous: $16 million toward a failed paint job on the National Mall reflecting pool. $5 million for bronze horse statues. Over $900 million toward White House renovations. Trump’s plans to “make D.C. beautiful again” are costing taxpayers well over a billion dollars and leaving local community members wondering who the renovations are really for. These forced renovations by the administration are affecting more than landmarks and monuments. In Washington, D.C., a large portion of community parks are governed by the National Park Service and are included in federal land.

What Deflock? A Week Of Action Confronts The AI Surveillance State

The op-ed Canyen Ashworth wrote last September may have been critical of the police where he lives in Lenexa, Kansas, but it could hardly be considered radical. A racist and nonsensical police investigation into the immigration status of a sitting city council member had generated embarrassing headlines, and a chaotic Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on a beloved local taqueria went viral. Pointing to basic reforms, Ashworth argued Lenexa’s city leaders had “work to do” in order to “meet the moment” and restore trust among residents. “It wasn’t ACAB.

Institute For Justice Creates Database Of ALPR Abuse

August 13, 2026 Christopher Ingraham, Institute for Justice. Educate! Flock Cameras, Police abuse, Surveillance, Transparency

Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) were sold to American communities as a targeted tool for catching car thieves and finding missing people. What they actually purchased has grown into something far broader and more frightening: an AI-powered network of cameras that photograph and log the movement of every driver who passes, whether or not they are suspected of any crime. Companies like Flock Safety have now blanketed thousands of communities with ALPRs, quietly assembling powerful mass surveillance systems that can reconstruct where people have been, when, and how often, all without a warrant.

Tyrin Johnson Is Dead; Memphis Is Occupied

July 21, 2026 Earle J. Fisher, Truthout. Educate! Memphis, Occupation, Police abuse, Systemic Racism, US military

I met Tyrin “Ty” Johnson neither through a police report, nor through a press conference, nor through the carefully crafted statements of elected officials or the endless speculation that too often follows the death of a young Black man, but rather through the people who loved him most: his mother, his grandparents, his great-grandmother, his aunts, and the grief that filled the room where they gathered only days after his death. I would find out later that I’ve known one of his cousins for over 25 years. They did not describe a headline.

No More Dollars For Walmart After Kohen Wiley’s Death

July 5, 2026 Melina Abdullah, LA Progressive. Resist! Accountability, boycott, Kohen Wiley, Police abuse, Walmart

I spoke with Davion Williams the day before the 21-year-old Black father had to bury his 1-year-old baby, murdered by police in Senatobia, Mississippi. “Justice for Kohen Wiley!” he chanted, fist raised, and also dazed, trying to find his footing in the midst of the unimaginable theft of his beautiful baby boy’s life. As I offered love and support, grateful that my comrade, friend, and brother-in-struggle, Marquell Bridges, was there to hold the family and organize alongside them, I offered, “We cannot get justice for Kohen; justice would mean that he is still here."

Mississippi Police Kill One-Year-Old Kohen Wiley

On Sunday 14 June, a Mississippi police officer shot and killed Kohen Kartier Wiley, a 1-year-old Black child, whilst responding from a shoplifting call at a Walmart in Senatobia. Since Tuesday evening, protesters have gathered outside both the store and Senatobia’s city hall, facing down police using tear gas to suppress them. Kohen’s mother, Vellesiya Wiley, reportedly left the store with her baby and a friend. All three got into a car together to drive away. However, an officer responding to a suspected theft of a box of diapers opened fire on the car before it could leave the scene.

New York, NY – On June 4, New Yorkers protested outside of the annual New York City Police Foundation Gala at the Intrepid Museum in Manhattan, where billionaires representing some of the top financial, tech and political dynasties in New York City gathered to donate millions of dollars to the New York Police Department. The crowd of 75 protesters, led by the New York Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NYAARPR), shamed each gala attendee as they arrived, chanting “Blood on your hands!”

Washington, DC – Community members flooded the streets on May 1 for a march in honor of May Day. The weather was bright and sunny with a cool breeze, making conditions favorable for an energized crowd. Nearly 10,000 feet hit the ground at the National Mall in front of the Washington Monument and marched up past the White House, through Black Lives Matter Plaza, and ending at Franklin Park. May Day commemorates a long history of workers and immigrants’ struggles. Protesters showed out for immigrant workers in force and stood in steadfast solidarity with working and oppressed people both at home and globally.

Community Demands: ‘Justice For The Quakertown 5!’

March 4, 2026 Betsey Piette, Workers World. Resist! ICE, Pennsylvania, Police abuse, Racism, Student Activism

After 35 teenage students walked out of their high school in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, to protest the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Feb. 20, they were attacked by the town’s police chief, Scott McElree, who was not in uniform nor did he identify himself. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on Feb. 22, that eyewitnesses, including some who videoed the incident, claimed that McElree, dressed in plain clothes, charged into the crowd of students, pushed one boy to the ground and put one teenager in a chokehold. However, five students, some who were injured by McElree and other police officers while defending themselves, were arrested initially on simple assault charges, which were then elevated to aggravated assault, a felony, because their alleged “victim” was a police officer.

The Chakraborty Shooting And The Myth Of Police Reform

February 4, 2026 Mike Pappas, Left Voice. Educate! Health Care, New York City (NYC), Police, Police abuse

22-year-old Jabez Chakraborty’s family had called for medical help for their son in Queens, New York City. Instead of medical responders, the state sent armed police, who shot him multiple times, leaving him in critical condition. After shooting a family’s son in front of them, do you think the New York Police Department (NYPD) cops were apologetic, helping the family and their son as much as possible? Of course not. In a statement released by the family, they report the cops interrogated them, demanding their cell phones (presumably to make sure there was no video evidence of their actions) and demanding the family come with them to the precinct with them instead of the hospital.

Inside The People’s Tribunal On Police Killings

January 26, 2026 James Whitfield, Red Pepper. Strategize! People's Tribunal, Police abuse, Reform, United Kingdom (UK)

The friends and families of those who ‘died in custody’ in the UK, frustrated with the inability of reform to deliver justice, have established the People’s Tribunal on Police Killings. Bringing together over twenty families for a class action lawsuit against the police, it will be the first time families have initiated a group prosecution. The tribunal renames these deaths ‘killings’, due to the systematic nature of the cases. They told me: ‘we need no more legislation, no more excuses, no more police training. The criminal law needs to be applied to police officers… we are abolitionist in our approach but in the meantime cops that kill should go to jail’.

Police Arrest And Assault Doctors Supporting Hunger Striker

An NHS doctor says she was “strangled” by police officers at a protest outside a British prison demanding an ambulance for a critically ill Palestine Action-linked prisoner on hunger strike. Olivia Brandon, an Accident and Emergency doctor at a London hospital, told Middle East Eye that she was dragged by the hood of her coat by police, causing arterial compression and resulting in her losing consciousness. She also reported that another doctor, Ayo Moiett, who had been repeatedly demanding that Bronzefield prison call an ambulance for prisoner Qesser Zuhrah, was arrested by two police officers after he declined to attend a “voluntary interview” following allegations that he had assaulted a prison officer.

England And Wales Arrest Dozens Of Palestine Action Supporters

Police in England and Wales arrested more than 140 people on Tuesday, the first day of coordinated protests against the UK government’s proscription of the direct action group Palestine Action. No arrests were made at parallel events in Scotland and Northern Ireland. In each location, protesters staged sit-downs, holding signs that read, “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine.” The group, Defend Our Juries (DOJ), which organised the protests, said an estimated 142 people were arrested on Tuesday, with more actions scheduled to take place this week ahead of the planned judicial review into the ban on Palestine Action on 24 November.

Activists Pay Homage To George Floyd Across The US

October 22, 2025 Workers World. Resist! George Floyd, National Day of Action, Police abuse, Rebellion2020

In response to President Trump and his MAGA base calling for a “Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk” on Oct. 14, left groups in several cities called counter events honoring George Floyd, the 46-year-old Black man whose murder by asphyxiation by a white police officer was broadcast live on social media on May 25, 2020. Floyd’s birthday is also Oct. 14. The Oct. 14 protests also paid homage to the mass movement that took to the streets to protest Floyd’s murder and the murder of all of those who have died at the hands of racist police and fascist violence.
