A case for police/prison abolition by Olayemi Olurin. Note this section: "Yet at the first mention of divesting from this system bit by bit, instead investing in the people and communities the system has enslaved — addressing their material needs so that we may eventually do away with the system altogether — people insist we need police and prisons." Folks get spooked bc abolitionists rarely admit they mean reform, alternatives, & vision. They just don't want to sound like normie liberals.
