As we witness yet another atrocity conducted by the police forces of the US regime its perhaps worth reflecting on the fact that despite riots, protests, and movements such as defund the police, nothing actually changes.

It’s pretty clear that whatever methods people in US use to organize fail to translate into long term structural change in the country.

These things will continue to happen until people find ways to organize effectively and to stand up to the regime.

    From the start, this shouldn’t have escalated as much as it did, it is completely stupid, and it shows the internal modus operandi of the repressive forces of the bourgeoisie. It is disgusting.

    Still, let’s say you do needed to detain someone. I’m not an expert in restraint or CQC, but I know my fair share and I’ve practiced with people who are masters, I’ve practiced with police members who attend classes, and I can tell you that there’s not the most basic understanding of how to physically subdue someone here. We train in ways where you might be outnumbered 2 to 1 and you can still subdue someone, here there were 5 people trying to restrain one single person and the only way they managed to do this is to kill him. A submission can be executed with basically almost no harm to the other person, because the idea is to utilize the body’s biomechanic in a way that either impossibilitates movement and/or reduces the amount of strength the other person has in a way that allows for the submission. There’s nothing of that here, the only thing present is five guys who have absolutely no idea what they are doing, assuming wrong positions, stumbling into each other and who only know of brute force, they have absolutely no training in how to deal with such a situation both in a psychologically and technical level.
