the real crime wave is the PPB PR
calls to #defund & #demilitarize & for #accountability kicked off PR schemes throughout the US. these headlines noticeably appear after each #homocide-by-cop #DelrawnSmall #AltonSterling #PhilandoCastille #Tortuguita #TyreNichols #BreonnaTaylor +
media regurgitates ‘coffee w/ cops’ PR rather than address systemic #racism

Will Potter on How the State and the Media Go After Radical Movements
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2MPVWHbhyw&ab_channel=GreenandRedPodcast
We’re in an unprecedented rollback of #CivilLiberties. States are passing laws to #OutlawProtests and #DirectAction, charging non-violent protesters with “#DomesticTerrorism” and #legalizing the #RunningOver of people blocking traffic. #StateSurveillance of activists has increased dramatically. Police budgets are getting astronomical increases to further militarize the state. In Atlanta, in the #StopCopCity campaign, police #assassinated a #ForestDefender, #Tortuguita, who had their hands up and then tried to claim self-defense.
To put this all in context, we talk with investigative journalist and author Will Potter (@will_potter). We discuss the #StopHuntington #AnimalCruelty campaign, the #EarthLiberationFront, the taming down of climate actions in the 2010s and how the police state ignored right wing terror groups in the same period.
We also discuss the role of the #FBI and the liberal #CorporateMedia in going after radical movements, how Cop City is shifting things and where popular culture fits into the story.
