Qualified immunity allows police to continue brutalizing black and brown people as long as @AFSCME supports that, they support police terror. #copfreeafscme #wecallonafscmeto

I’m in @thenation today arguing for the necessity of eradicating police and their ‘unions’ from the labor movement: thenation.com/article/societ…

Solidarity with @alaa2325, who have passed a motion calling on the @AFLCIO and @UAW to expel police unions from our ranks!
ALAA - UAW 2325@alaa2325

The verdict on Breonna Taylor’s murderers came down as I was in the middle of an @NLGnews #law4thepeople panel called ‘Police Unions: What Is To Be Done?’
That answer is simple: Drop the fucking cops. The enemies of the working class have no place in the labor movement. Period.

Interesting that @AFLCIO president Richard Trumka says re. Breonna Taylor that "racism exists" and "the time for action and reform is long overdue," but he is the main institutional defender of the police unions who say that racist policing does not exist. inthesetimes.com/article/police…

hey 👋 @AFLCIO a great way to support the movement for Black Lives would be to kick cops out of the labor movement ... just sayin’ 🤷♂️

I wonder, is anyone here in a union that tacitly or explicitly partners with police and therefore assists in shielding uniformed murderers? dang, seems like most of us still do!
tell your labor leadership that this HAS. TO. CHANGE.

Police unions have so much power that perceived “disrespect” to cops in Portland, Seattle, and NYC has swung NATIONAL policy this week, with all three cities getting threats to their federal $$$ (in a pandemic, no less)
But we MUST demand accountability. We can and we will!

No.
Class is defined by relationship to the process of production, not by merely receiving a wage or salary.
Policing under capitalism isn't socially necessary labor, it's being an agent of capital and an enemy of workers. They're the foot soldiers for state violence.

Cops *are* workers, and they *are* part of "the 99%." So are scabs, paramilitary chuds, and contact killers of environmental activists. It's almost as if class categories aren't a way of getting out of ethical evaluation.

This fight is not over, in fact, it’s just getting started. Help us by telling your union leadership that “police union” is an oxymoron ... oh, and sign our petition!

Why do we demand a #CopFreeAFSCME?
”If police are used to break strikes, then their duties are in opposition to the aims of the labor movement. They exist to protect private property and the interests of the capitalist class, not the workers.” — @JuanJoseGuva, Local 3090

As a union, we cannot be complicit in the labor abuses of the carceral state. Report from an incarcerated person inside Angola, who can’t afford the $3 doctor call charge at the Louisiana State Penitentiary on his wages of 2 cents/hr, 80 cents/week: theappeal.org/report-from-in…

Us: if we are committed to racial justice, we must work to dismantle the racist, extractive and brutal prison industrial complex. Angola was built on a former plantation and pays incarcerated workers 2 cents per hour
@AFSCME: HIRE 👏 MORE 👏 WOMEN 👏 GUARDS 👏
AFSCME@AFSCME
Shirley Coody had to prove herself as a female correctional officer at the prison known simply as Angola. Since then, she has paved the way for women at Angola and been an inspiration to many. She is a winner of AFSCME's Never Quit Service Award. afsc.me/3ixdkc7

By the late 1960s, police unions were on the forefront of the racist backlash against civil rights gains. In NYC, the PBA worked with Birchers to prevent civilian oversight, and push a "law and order" message through JBS' "Support Your Local Police" committees
