The basic function of the police is to maintain and protect the existing social order and keep the oppressed working class in line, whether that working class is white or black, slave or free. The USA is ruled by a tiny class of oligarchs and the police act as their enforcers, their watchdogs.
No tiny class of people can rule anything society functions by the work of everyone. Some idiotic men are just power obsessed and need someone to look down on so they can look manly to their bitches
With that being said the police can unleash their power and ostracize any individual they want so the question is who really runs the police and I think you'll find Italians and Jews somewhere hiding at the core of that issue
On top of that the current police force is a modern phenomenon with high tech departments cars helicopters compared to uniformed men receiving a small government salary while the world was advancing by the tide of brutes.

Employers can fire their employees at anytime and for any cause or no cause. But employees have to provide at least a 2 week notice before resigning. This goes to show the laws of America are designed to protect the wealthy and oppress the middle class and poor.
For sure. I was in court today. An old man, in his 50s is obviously having a mental breakdown. He is having delusions. He has guns at home. No one is around to help him, no one wants to take responsibility for him. He needs treatment.

So Police we basically created in America in the 19th century (1800's)? They were created to enforce slave laws. Marijuana is illegal even today for no reason? As a former officer, the history is wild. I think it's time for police reform in America. It's time we pick sides for WW3 and police are a great asset, just as our military is. We need to reform our police to enforce common law ONLY, and start with all these race based laws such as marijuana. Dont defund our police, but rather fix the problems to make them an asset. Amazing video.
This is a great idea, but would never work because in order to “fix the problems” it would first start with firing and holding ppl accountable who are corrupt and racist. And they never will because the ppl at the very top are the ones who are the most corrupt and racist it’s unfortunate but thats who they all are
Fun fact the people who originally created "defund the police" actually meant to say "reform the police" but too many including media of both political sides took the word defund literally
If you’re building a car out of old spare parts that you fix up and install piece by piece . . . And you have never gotten the car running properly, it still counts as being “broken” Even though, you can’t point to a moment when it broke Just because the car has never worked the right way, doesn’t mean you can’t get it running properly. Especially if you replace some of the parts that have given you a lot of trouble, & replace them with new parts that do run properly
@@patrickm.4754 yea, I’m just pointing how the British brought the profession of law enforcement to the colonies. I’m sure city guards in Mesopotamia performed a similar task as our modern day cops. I’m just trying to point out how the driving force of police in the United States wasn’t created for the sole purpose of catching runaway slaves or controlling the slave population. The North implanted their criminal justice system(prisons) during reconstruction and the south didn’t have many traditional prisons prior to the civil war.
I love how most of the comments don’t subscribe to this even after they tried so hard to draw the lines connecting police to slave catchers via bygone class systems.
Their job is to keep the wealthy from having to so much as see us. Their job is also to keep us divided by ethnic group, wealthy, and religion. The smaller groups the better. The wealthy have one fear. Us uniting against them.
England. It comes directly from England, just as our legal system does. That is why your lawyer has a BAR (British Accredited Registry) card. "Regis" means "king." There is no king in The United States of America. Or is there? England colonized this country, lost a war, helped create a Civil War, and funded the Union which became indebted to England and then sold America out during Reconstruction. Now, Americans pay all sorts of taxes and have the "regis"ter their "vehicles" in order to travel. That is not what free people do. We have been re-colonized discretely and no one recognizes it. That is why we have an organization called the police that originated in England controlling our people with violence and extracting wealth from them. Only our cops are too dumb to realize who they are working for as it is all concealed under multiple layers of corporate entities. If you go to the top, the crown is behind it all.
I am amazed how much information was and still is hidden from us. Yet, we need to practice more in researching law enforcement abroad. I liked this video.
If you were to take out the dates, you’d still think this segment was based on 21st century just about. I was mowing my own lawn the other day, a sheriff who lives in the cul de sac near me pulled up to the stop sign. I literally reached for my seat beat and felt for my wallet out of habit while mowing the lawn on foot..smh . By definition this is trauma..

I typed in, “First police in America”, this was the second video in the results. People don't intentionally search for this or things similar. I saw a squad car. And what I searched for was what came to mind.
This video is absolutely correct that black Americans were the initial targets for these laws and discriminations but now after 100 plus years all the American citizens are now treated the same way that black Americans were treated back then. I do sympathize not only because I experience on a day-to-day basis what the police have been doing but also because what happened to black Americans back then happened with the approval of regular American citizens who went to church and praised God while enslaving men and women who were made in the image of God and abusing them. Now we all suffer together what was once a black issue only and I thank God that we all are starting to understand just how terrible it was, and is, what happened to those innocent men and women.
How many white American citizens have been shot at 62 times and hit 49, in Akron ohio, shot 60 times in Clayton county Georgia and shot at 41 times and hit 11, in the Bronx New York?
This video represents the opinion or 'Perspective' of black/African humans living in North American in the 18-20th century. The definition of what police did and do have change throughout that time. Some bad behaviors have remained while some good behaviors have gone ignored. I myself am trying to keep my focus on the future and what I can do to improve it for all creatures on the planet in the time I have remaining.
More time should have been spent on the evolution of law enforcement in the north and how the merging of the northern police's hierarchy with the mode of operation of the slave patrols created what we have today.
The police are still attacking to this day. I am afraid to walk down the street because I have been attacked and arrested by police for no reason, just drug from my home and driven to jail in another county. Police have never tried to help with all the problems around me. I was just punished because of my skin color. Meanwhile the drug dealers black or white was allowed to deal drugs in front of my home. I called the police and they came and laughed in my face. It's not just the black males, I have a companion who is white and she too was drug out of her home in front of her kids for no reason whatsoever because of the police. We are currently in fear of walking down the street.
Great video. Very informative. I would love to see information like this incorporated with the current crime rate in this country. Simply put; Policing in America needs to be overhauled and crime in this country is currently running rampant. Unjustified police shootings are happening while random shootings in poor and affluent communities continue to grow daily! Forget police reform. We need a cultural reform that includes police overhaul, holding criminals responsible, treatment for mental health issues, ending racism and not letting bad people get behind good people with a valid agenda. Sounds like we need God in our lives!
Amazing Work. And Yes, theirs a difference between Mental Illness and Levels of Criminal behavior. And today's police can't Serve Both!!!!! Facts. Reduce on a level,and create Monitored Counseling.. I'm just sayn, Word🤗.. 🙏🏾
Thank you! Ppl need to stop conflating safety with police! Think of the place where you feel most safe and I gurauntee you the police are not there. Safety means having access to resources. Police only help to reinforce a broken system.
When you feel safe you don't need the police. When you go into a situation which is actually unsafe, then you want someone to stop people from hurting you or stealing from you. If those people aren't police, then I guess you want vigilantes?
@Jason Crosby All the facts in this video are easily verifiable . Read a book, and try to think for yourself. History is real, no matter how much you want to avoid it.
there's a lot we don't know about the past, it's amazing how far we've progressed, things were immensely different back then, now the problem is lack of policing and poor training in some areas
Not really black communites are still disprotionetly effected by policing and the police still bully people like gangs. Also the prison system still uses slavery as a method of punishment while giving no aid to stop recurring arrest... which they probably want. Point is every problem from centries ago still ring true today and in most cases worst that before.
l live in Australia Melbourne Victoria and am white and l have been asking myself that question in my childhood years!!! When did the police force become corrupt? But did not have the internet to research such lines of enqquiry as l was born in the 70's. lol Just letting you know that a white child, back in the 70's, in Australia was aware of the Afircian American plight, so there would many around the world sympathetic to this. anyone with an enquiring mind and empathy for others suffering will tune in much earliier to the fact that something is terribly wrong with the authrotities, not in it's entirety but that certain factons were worse and some were better than others.
Get off you rear-end and do something with your life, other than complain about how life isn't fair. If you think something is racist, avoid and evade it. Life has never been and will never be fair.
Roads should be the property of the parcels abutting them, and the owners should have the right to enforce Law there. Socialized Police should be abolished
"There were slave patrols in the south, so we're going to talk as if they were everywhere, and describe the origin of all police" Well viewer, did you not notice the deception?
@@Juninzone So if there are bad relations between black & police anywhere today, this proves the origins of police everywhere was slave patrols. Even in places where there were never any slave patrols. Your logic is not so much flawed as non-existent.
@@cristop5 No it only applies to the ones where there were slavery, as for the ones slavery didn’t occur, they just buy into the racist stereotypes about black people. But it’s something how they hate it when folks buy into stereotypes about their countries. I’ve seen interviews on videos of black folks that have talked about their experience with cops in non western countries, and their experience isn’t the same as it is in the west. That’s because racial tribalism is higher in the west versus non western countries.
@@Juninzone Racial stereotypes occur everywhere. Tribal (us/them) thinking exists everywhere. It's in our nature. Conflicts the world over are usually underpinned by tribalism of some sort. Rwanda, Bosnia, Myanmar, Sudan, Xinjiang are some recent tragic examples. If you seriously think there's something unique about race relations in America, please get interested in world history. It will tell you much more about the human condition than will an education limited to the American experience.
So, modern policing began circa 1838 in Boston, MA (0:40), a free state which outlawed slavery, but originated to enforce slavery? You make a distinction between slave patrols in the south and law enforcement entries in the north, while simultaneously equating their fundamental purpose. Also, the point of law enforcement agencies is to enforce laws. Were there immoral laws in the 19th century? Yes. Is that relevant to contemporary consideration? Unlikely. What racist laws are on the books today and how are these vilified law enforcement agencies enforcing those laws? How do the actions of slave patrols in the 1700s correspond with, influence, or even resemble modern law enforcement activities?
Lol u funny for real but I know deep in your soul u know the real whether it was missed placed didn’t correlate you know the essence of policing came from Colonia list and as we all know from the trans Atlantic business that’s been going on for 400 years each side of the hemisphere adapts to one another so slave patrol northern police. Theory beliefs and mannerism are quite parallel and quite inspirational to both we see the results to this day
Thank you for enlightening that be darkened individual. Most of those old slave code laws are still on the books for example the citizens arrest b******* that got Ahmad Aubrey killed in Brunswick georgia? That crap is still on the books and has to take congressional action to get it erased. Does this person not know anything about history at all? And besides the same mentality with which those laws were enforced after the civil war is the same mentality with which they're in force right now. Nothing has changed except the uniform.
Really, before modern policing occurred, the military kept people in line...which was likely even MORE brutal. The reality of all this...and I think this video does a good job of portraying it...is that throughout the history of humans, the rich and powerful have conspired to use most any means necessary to maintain their dominance. And beat cops are very simply the tip of the iceberg. The truth is that in any time and place (most often, but not always), anyone who has more power than another will conspire to maintain that control. It's just human nature. But not all of us are in sway of that human nature. There is another way.
@@jamiejosh96 I'm not racist but I have plenty of reasons to be prejudice if I would let ignorance claim the fame however I am above that and hell yeah I am pro-black lmfao
The origins of policing, obviously, are ancient. How do you think Rome held together. Granted, there is the common link of slavery there too. In all organized societies, police forces have existed principally to enforce the interests of the propertied over those without property. It is the principal function of the legal apparatus in every civilization. Notwithstanding, in a mass society of any kind, even a wholly egalitarian one, the entire industrial apparatus depends on a vast network of contract and compliance guarantees - and the ever present, tacit threat of their enforcement by an army of enforcers. To some extent, the rights of normal workers, consumers, pedestrians, etc. are important to defend, in order to inspire market confidence to ensure the benefits of the propertied. So we get crumbs from the table. But be wary if ever those crumbs were removed! Hence a fair portion of enforcement efforts are dedicated to doing what we want the police to do: coming to our rescue to stop vandals, thugs, robbers and brutalizers in their tracks or shortly thereafter. Study violence in prehistoric times to see exactly what life might look like without the police. Our task is to reform the police to protect the just interests of the human majority - not to get rid of them altogether. Be very carefu of what you wish for!
@iMac Hunt I'm not going for that dumb s**t nobody owns me I can leave and go to any country I want to, that s**t you are talking is a slave mentality lmfao

@@jorrenmills3894 Slaves were already enslaved by definition. The video explains that a wholly new and previously unknown system of policing arose to enforce and maintain that enslavement. I would encourage you to let this video challenge some of your assumptions.
@@RogerHerzler Yeah, that new form of policing was backed by the Democrats and the KKK. As a black person whose studied the history of blacks in America I'm not ignorant of this fact
Within the first 30 seconds this video contradicts itself. This is simply one example of what police did in that time that is being hyper magnified to suit a racist agenda, primarily by liberal whites and pro-blacks. Not to mention that police (or those responsible for enforcing what we would call laws before "police") in general, all over the world, performed duties such as this. Police has been part of the english language since the early 1700's IN EUROPE. These racists that are part of this video are doing anything they can to manipulate the viewers and find ANYTHING to keep claiming to be victims in some way, shape, or form. At a time when the ENTIRE WORLD was participating in the slave trade (not black African slaves exclusively) slaves were considered property and WHITE AMERICANS primarily were among the first to fight to end slavery and give slaves freedom. ACTUAL slave trading still continues to this day on EVERY SINGLE CONTINENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Don't listen to the leftist propaganda media only if you are interested in this topic. Open your so you don't look dumb.
Lies! America never ended slavery because they never paid slaves long overdue reparations or repairs in form of land, monies earned, education or tax free status, etc. You absolutely cannot free someone if you stole their identity, wealth, languages, culture, history, etc without returning it to them. Slavery craftily was rebranded and now is privatized prison industrial complex in 2021. Evil!
Black slaves were the last to be freed in America. Black slaves were the ones who were the most brutalized. White slaves could earn their freedom. Black slaves could not. White slaves weren't considered (white) at the time of being a slave and were always immigrants. Irish, Italian, etc. They were able to gain the status of whiteness. Black slaves and other slaves with dark complexions/non European features, were never granted whiteness. The only thing your right about in your comment is, the police were doing what was expected of them. Still doesn't make it right and further proves a point that policing as a whole needs to be reformed. Don't forget that Nazis were also just performing their duties. Sure as hell doesn't excuse their behavior.
Slavery is over most big cities police departments are completely diverse. You just wanna keep thinking you can do better then police. Whatever you replace it with will be police with a different name.

This is a great idea, but would never work because in order to “fix the problems” it would first start with firing and holding ppl accountable who are corrupt and racist. And they never will because the ppl at the very top are the ones who are the most corrupt and racist it’s unfortunate but thats who they all are
@@janaejarmon6508 Exactly.
Fun fact the people who originally created "defund the police" actually meant to say "reform the police" but too many including media of both political sides took the word defund literally
If you’re building a car out of old spare parts that you fix up and install piece by piece
. . . And you have never gotten the car running properly,
it still counts as being “broken”
Even though, you can’t point to a moment when it broke
Just because the car has never worked the right way, doesn’t mean you can’t get it running properly.
Especially if you replace some of the parts that have given you a lot of trouble,
& replace them with new parts that do run properly
But the idea of law enforcement came to the US via the British
You have law enforcement throughout history. Only the name of it and scope of each organization changes for the time period.
They've been around since Roman's time.
@@patrickm.4754 yea, I’m just pointing how the British brought the profession of law enforcement to the colonies. I’m sure city guards in Mesopotamia performed a similar task as our modern day cops.
I’m just trying to point out how the driving force of police in the United States wasn’t created for the sole purpose of catching runaway slaves or controlling the slave population.
The North implanted their criminal justice system(prisons) during reconstruction and the south didn’t have many traditional prisons prior to the civil war.
@Nouse Foraname Please prove that is “revisionist” history. Also, while doing so, please define “revisionist”?
I love how most of the comments don’t subscribe to this even after they tried so hard to draw the lines connecting police to slave catchers via bygone class systems.
What horrible things people do for money.
Appropriated funds?
Their job is to keep the wealthy from having to so much as see us.
Their job is also to keep us divided by ethnic group, wealthy, and religion. The smaller groups the better.
The wealthy have one fear.
Us uniting against them.
The first policemen were from Persia. They were called the king's eyes.
England. It comes directly from England, just as our legal system does. That is why your lawyer has a BAR (British Accredited Registry) card. "Regis" means "king." There is no king in The United States of America. Or is there? England colonized this country, lost a war, helped create a Civil War, and funded the Union which became indebted to England and then sold America out during Reconstruction. Now, Americans pay all sorts of taxes and have the "regis"ter their "vehicles" in order to travel. That is not what free people do. We have been re-colonized discretely and no one recognizes it. That is why we have an organization called the police that originated in England controlling our people with violence and extracting wealth from them. Only our cops are too dumb to realize who they are working for as it is all concealed under multiple layers of corporate entities. If you go to the top, the crown is behind it all.
And that’s why we have systematic racism in law enforcement.
I am amazed how much information was and still is hidden from us. Yet, we need to practice more in researching law enforcement abroad. I liked this video.
Hidden from YOU! None of this info is new to me.

Why is this not the most viewed videos ever????
I typed in, “First police in America”, this was the second video in the results. People don't intentionally search for this or things similar. I saw a squad car. And what I searched for was what came to mind.
This video is absolutely correct that black Americans were the initial targets for these laws and discriminations but now after 100 plus years all the American citizens are now treated the same way that black Americans were treated back then. I do sympathize not only because I experience on a day-to-day basis what the police have been doing but also because what happened to black Americans back then happened with the approval of regular American citizens who went to church and praised God while enslaving men and women who were made in the image of God and abusing them.
Now we all suffer together what was once a black issue only and I thank God that we all are starting to understand just how terrible it was, and is, what happened to those innocent men and women.
How many white American citizens have been shot at 62 times and hit 49, in Akron ohio, shot 60 times in Clayton county Georgia and shot at 41 times and hit 11, in the Bronx New York?

This video represents the opinion or 'Perspective' of black/African humans living in North American in the 18-20th century. The definition of what police did and do have change throughout that time. Some bad behaviors have remained while some good behaviors have gone ignored. I myself am trying to keep my focus on the future and what I can do to improve it for all creatures on the planet in the time I have remaining.
policing is race and class control pure and simple. what elites have decided is a crime is criminalized.
what a balanced informative video, thank you.
More time should have been spent on the evolution of law enforcement in the north and how the merging of the northern police's hierarchy with the mode of operation of the slave patrols created what we have today.
The police are still attacking to this day. I am afraid to walk down the street because I have been attacked and arrested by police for no reason, just drug from my home and driven to jail in another county. Police have never tried to help with all the problems around me. I was just punished because of my skin color. Meanwhile the drug dealers black or white was allowed to deal drugs in front of my home. I called the police and they came and laughed in my face. It's not just the black males, I have a companion who is white and she too was drug out of her home in front of her kids for no reason whatsoever because of the police. We are currently in fear of walking down the street.
Lol
Jacob got next, Easu time is running dry, soon they'll be our servants, all praises to the lord.
This is still going on today. The prisons are plantations.
We need to ensure that police officers live in the same communities that they police.
Great video. Very informative. I would love to see information like this incorporated with the current crime rate in this country. Simply put; Policing in America needs to be overhauled and crime in this country is currently running rampant. Unjustified police shootings are happening while random shootings in poor and affluent communities continue to grow daily! Forget police reform. We need a cultural reform that includes police overhaul, holding criminals responsible, treatment for mental health issues, ending racism and not letting bad people get behind good people with a valid agenda. Sounds like we need God in our lives!
End prison end jail and end the police
Can you just imagine that? No consequence for crime?
I wish that everyone would watch this, and grasp these concepts. Personal safety cannot be achieved within a capitalist and policed system.
"To serve and protect- a fraction of Americans"
Amazing Work. And Yes, theirs a difference between Mental Illness and Levels of Criminal behavior. And today's police can't Serve Both!!!!! Facts. Reduce on a level,and create Monitored Counseling.. I'm just sayn, Word🤗.. 🙏🏾

Thank you! Ppl need to stop conflating safety with police! Think of the place where you feel most safe and I gurauntee you the police are not there. Safety means having access to resources. Police only help to reinforce a broken system.
My dad is a police and a m black. Not all police are bad joke at the bad few, well not necessarily a few but I feel safe with police.
When you feel safe you don't need the police. When you go into a situation which is actually unsafe, then you want someone to stop people from hurting you or stealing from you. If those people aren't police, then I guess you want vigilantes?
@@HesderOleh Lol either you didn't read question or you didn't understand the question huh? 😂
@@marcuscooper8595 which question?
@Jason Crosby All the facts in this video are easily verifiable . Read a book, and try to think for yourself. History is real, no matter how much you want to avoid it.
there's a lot we don't know about the past, it's amazing how far we've progressed, things were immensely different back then, now the problem is lack of policing and poor training in some areas
Not really black communites are still disprotionetly effected by policing and the police still bully people like gangs. Also the prison system still uses slavery as a method of punishment while giving no aid to stop recurring arrest... which they probably want. Point is every problem from centries ago still ring true today and in most cases worst that before.
And is no question there will be an enormous defense if I'm attacked.
The ones who NEED to watch this typically will NOT.
How are we supposed to increase black on black crime if dont get rid of the police?

But did not have the internet to research such lines of enqquiry as l was born in the 70's. lol Just letting you know that a white child, back in the 70's, in Australia was aware of the Afircian American plight, so there would many around the world sympathetic to this. anyone with an enquiring mind and empathy for others suffering will tune in much earliier to the fact that something is terribly wrong with the authrotities, not in it's entirety but that certain factons were worse and some were better than others.

"There were slave patrols in the south, so we're going to talk as if they were everywhere, and describe the origin of all police"
Well viewer, did you not notice the deception?
The interactions between police and black folks should be proof enough.
@@Juninzone So if there are bad relations between black & police anywhere today, this proves the origins of police everywhere was slave patrols. Even in places where there were never any slave patrols.
Your logic is not so much flawed as non-existent.
@@cristop5 No it only applies to the ones where there were slavery, as for the ones slavery didn’t occur, they just buy into the racist stereotypes about black people. But it’s something how they hate it when folks buy into stereotypes about their countries. I’ve seen interviews on videos of black folks that have talked about their experience with cops in non western countries, and their experience isn’t the same as it is in the west. That’s because racial tribalism is higher in the west versus non western countries.
@@Juninzone Racial stereotypes occur everywhere. Tribal (us/them) thinking exists everywhere. It's in our nature. Conflicts the world over are usually underpinned by tribalism of some sort. Rwanda, Bosnia, Myanmar, Sudan, Xinjiang are some recent tragic examples.
If you seriously think there's something unique about race relations in America, please get interested in world history. It will tell you much more about the human condition than will an education limited to the American experience.
Brilliant thank you.
Thank God for Policing, I'd hate to see what a neighborhood looks like without them, imagine all the chaos because people dont know how to act right!
Ayyy cab.
So, modern policing began circa 1838 in Boston, MA (0:40), a free state which outlawed slavery, but originated to enforce slavery? You make a distinction between slave patrols in the south and law enforcement entries in the north, while simultaneously equating their fundamental purpose. Also, the point of law enforcement agencies is to enforce laws. Were there immoral laws in the 19th century? Yes. Is that relevant to contemporary consideration? Unlikely. What racist laws are on the books today and how are these vilified law enforcement agencies enforcing those laws? How do the actions of slave patrols in the 1700s correspond with, influence, or even resemble modern law enforcement activities?
Lol u funny for real but I know deep in your soul u know the real whether it was missed placed didn’t correlate you know the essence of policing came from Colonia list and as we all know from the trans Atlantic business that’s been going on for 400 years each side of the hemisphere adapts to one another so slave patrol northern police. Theory beliefs and mannerism are quite parallel and quite inspirational to both we see the results to this day
Thank you for enlightening that be darkened individual. Most of those old slave code laws are still on the books for example the citizens arrest b******* that got Ahmad Aubrey killed in Brunswick georgia? That crap is still on the books and has to take congressional action to get it erased. Does this person not know anything about history at all? And besides the same mentality with which those laws were enforced after the civil war is the same mentality with which they're in force right now. Nothing has changed except the uniform.
Amen!
This has been known for decades and decades and decades. But I want and need and will vote for police that are not corrupt.

Really, before modern policing occurred, the military kept people in line...which was likely even MORE brutal. The reality of all this...and I think this video does a good job of portraying it...is that throughout the history of humans, the rich and powerful have conspired to use most any means necessary to maintain their dominance. And beat cops are very simply the tip of the iceberg.
The truth is that in any time and place (most often, but not always), anyone who has more power than another will conspire to maintain that control. It's just human nature.
But not all of us are in sway of that human nature.
There is another way.
Only the weak require using nasty tricks to gain social advantage.
Would be really interesting, would it actually based around facts. The police force certainly didn’t come from slave hunters

The origins of policing, obviously, are ancient. How do you think Rome held together. Granted, there is the common link of slavery there too. In all organized societies, police forces have existed principally to enforce the interests of the propertied over those without property. It is the principal function of the legal apparatus in every civilization. Notwithstanding, in a mass society of any kind, even a wholly egalitarian one, the entire industrial apparatus depends on a vast network of contract and compliance guarantees - and the ever present, tacit threat of their enforcement by an army of enforcers. To some extent, the rights of normal workers, consumers, pedestrians, etc. are important to defend, in order to inspire market confidence to ensure the benefits of the propertied. So we get crumbs from the table. But be wary if ever those crumbs were removed! Hence a fair portion of enforcement efforts are dedicated to doing what we want the police to do: coming to our rescue to stop vandals, thugs, robbers and brutalizers in their tracks or shortly thereafter. Study violence in prehistoric times to see exactly what life might look like without the police. Our task is to reform the police to protect the just interests of the human majority - not to get rid of them altogether. Be very carefu of what you wish for!
It’s unfortunate that this took place, but it’s 2021 and nobody owns slaves.

Within the first 30 seconds this video contradicts itself. This is simply one example of what police did in that time that is being hyper magnified to suit a racist agenda, primarily by liberal whites and pro-blacks. Not to mention that police (or those responsible for enforcing what we would call laws before "police") in general, all over the world, performed duties such as this. Police has been part of the english language since the early 1700's IN EUROPE. These racists that are part of this video are doing anything they can to manipulate the viewers and find ANYTHING to keep claiming to be victims in some way, shape, or form. At a time when the ENTIRE WORLD was participating in the slave trade (not black African slaves exclusively) slaves were considered property and WHITE AMERICANS primarily were among the first to fight to end slavery and give slaves freedom. ACTUAL slave trading still continues to this day on EVERY SINGLE CONTINENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Don't listen to the leftist propaganda media only if you are interested in this topic. Open your so you don't look dumb.
Lies! America never ended slavery because they never paid slaves long overdue reparations or repairs in form of land, monies earned, education or tax free status, etc.
You absolutely cannot free someone if you stole their identity, wealth, languages, culture, history, etc without returning it to them. Slavery craftily was rebranded and now is privatized prison industrial complex in 2021.
Evil!
Black slaves were the last to be freed in America. Black slaves were the ones who were the most brutalized. White slaves could earn their freedom. Black slaves could not. White slaves weren't considered (white) at the time of being a slave and were always immigrants. Irish, Italian, etc. They were able to gain the status of whiteness. Black slaves and other slaves with dark complexions/non European features, were never granted whiteness. The only thing your right about in your comment is, the police were doing what was expected of them. Still doesn't make it right and further proves a point that policing as a whole needs to be reformed. Don't forget that Nazis were also just performing their duties. Sure as hell doesn't excuse their behavior.
