      Even Throughline had a history of policing episode (NPR, so liberals); and even their takeaway from what I remember was: police just come from slave patrols and solely exist to maintain existing power structures.

      I think I have a verso book “End of Policing” by vitals, but have gotten around to reading it yet … and maybe I should!
