<p>One might object to a comparison between these situations. The Amargosa police department has four patrolling officers, the NYPD thousands. The weaponry of the Amargosa police department is meager, that of NYPD military-grade. Surely the best way to remember Garner is the slow burn of policy change, of educating a mass movement which is uncooperative with the police, of anything but immediate and direct response.</p>
<p>I might have to forlornly agree with you, that any thought of a battle with the NYPD is doomed from the start. But make no mistake, to be radical on this matter is to encourage a spirit of rebellion like that of Amargosa. Violence and conflict is inevitable on the scale of the individual, the community, city and country. There will not be a true movement against police until we’re ready to assert the value of our loved ones’ lives over those the claims of cops, whose daily plots always involve harassing you and treating you as hostile until proven otherwise.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nella città brasiliana di Amargosa, i cittadini sono scesi in strada dopo che un proiettile vagante sparato da un poliziotto ha colpito e ucciso una bambina di un anno. La folla si è diretta immediatamente verso la stazione di polizia, ha liberato le persone che erano rinchiuse, ha preso le armi di proprietà dello stato e ha ridotto in cenere l’edificio e due mezzi di servizio.</p>
<p>Nessuno è stato ferito. Il messaggio è stato: Non siamo disposti più ad accettare i “danni collaterali” delle vostre istituzioni. Le attacchiamo, le bruciamo, e prendiamo le armi della polizia per il nostro uso. Alla fine, la “rivolta” è stata soffocata da forze di polizia di un comando vicino. Ma nella <a href="http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/internacional/en/brazil/2014/07/1487825-following-babys-death-mob-frees-detainees-and-sets-police-station-on-fire-in-state-of-bahia.shtml" target="_blank">Battaglia di Amargosa del Sedici Luglio 2014</a> a vincere sono stati i cittadini. E che ne è stato degli agenti più esposti alla rabbia di questi individui inferociti? Da codardi quali sono, si sono rifugiati in un albergo vicino. Prendete nota.</p>
<p>Il giorno dopo, in tutt’altra città, in tutt’altro paese, <a href="http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/internacional/en/brazil/2014/07/1487825-following-babys-death-mob-frees-detainees-and-sets-police-station-on-fire-in-state-of-bahia.shtml" target="_blank">Eric Garner</a> stava sputando il suo ultimo respiro mentre un gruppo di membri di una banda cittadina con i colori del Dipartimento di Polizia di New York si era ammassato su di lui. Garner aveva appena dissolto una piccola zuffa a cui la polizia aveva risposto con riluttanza.</p>
<p>Il suo crimine? Garner era un noto venditore di articoli di contrabbando, meglio conosciuti come sigarette sciolte. Senza alcuna prova del fatto che stesse vendendo, o anche che avesse con sé, questi articoli, dopo un breve diverbio Garner è stato immobilizzato a terra e pestato da diversi membri della banda di poliziotti. Le sue ultime parole? Le parole che un innocente padre di famiglia ha rivolto a questi “agenti di pace”? “Non riesco a respirare. Non riesco a respirare. Non riesco a respirare.”</p>
<p>Quel giorno non ci sono state rivolte. I passanti hanno obbedito al loro istinto di conservazione e hanno voltato la faccia altrove. Nessuna protesta, nessun dissenso. Solo un altro nero morto sulle strade di New York… solo che stavolta c’è un video. Con la forza di queste immagini, di Garner che urla pietà per l’ultima volta, gli americani che attribuiscono valore all’indipendenza sono riusciti a raccogliere indignazione su internet. Ho sentito dire che anche Al Sharpton è coinvolto. Al momento, Daniel Pantaleo, l’agente che ha dato il via al soffocamento, è stato privato dell’arma e condannato al duro lavoro della scrivania. A pochi chilometri di distanza, intanto, una madre e sei figli convivono con la tristezza, l’orrore e lo smarrimento per aver perso il loro marito e padre.</p>
<p>Eric Garner è morto e questo non cambierà nulla. Al massimo adotteranno una politica che scoraggia i soffocamenti (e ovviamente non sarà rispettata). Domani, o la settimana prossima, ci sarà un altro Eric Garner. Ci sarà perché esiste ancora un comando di polizia che non è stato raso al suolo.</p>
<p>Qualcuno potrebbe obiettare che le situazioni sono diverse. Il comando di polizia di Amargosa ha quattro agenti di pattuglia, e quello di New York migliaia. Le armi dei poliziotti di Amargosa sono semplici, quelle di New York di tipo militare. Certo il modo migliore per ricordare Eric Garner è un cambiamento delle politiche a fuoco lento, la formazione di un movimento di massa che rifiuti la collaborazione con la polizia, il che significa una reazione tutt’altro che immediata e diretta.</p>
<p>Potrei dire, concordando disperatamente con voi, che qualunque idea di combattere il dipartimento di polizia di New York è condannata dall’inizio. Non lasciatevi imbrogliare dalle apparenze, però: in queste cose, essere radicali significa incoraggiare uno spirito di ribellione come quello di Amargosa. Violenza e conflitto cono inevitabili a livello di individuo, comunità, città e nazione. Non ci sarà un vero movimento contro la polizia finché non saremo pronti a rivendicare il valore della vita dei nostri cari al di sopra delle pretese dei poliziotti, che ogni giorno tramano per opprimervi e trattarvi come nemici predefiniti.</p>
<p>È ora di trattare la polizia con la stessa ostilità con cui loro trattano noi; e anche peggio! È ora di metterli a tacere. È sempre ora di far terminare la loro tirannia; e con tutti i mezzi necessari. La popolazione di Amargosa l’ha capito. Può darsi che abbiano affrontato un dipartimento di assassini in uniforme meno temibile, ma rischiavano comunque la morte e la prigione, e hanno scelto di agire invece di scrivere lettere indignate. C’è voluta la comunità, la rabbia, l’indifferenza per la sicurezza, per la dignità degli agenti di polizia come eguali. Loro non sono eguali. È sempre più chiaro che i moderni dipartimenti di polizia in America e in tutto il mondo sono forze d’occupazione, che violano le comunità con la forza dei proiettili e dei distintivi. È ora di ridurli in cenere, prendere le loro armi e liberare le persone che hanno imprigionato. Non fatelo solo per Eric Gardner. Fatelo per voi stessi.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the city of Amargosa in Brazil, citizens took to the streets after a stray bullet fire by a local police officer struck and killed a one-year-old girl. But they didn&#8217;t stay in the streets. They quickly took the police station, freeing prisoners, jacking state-owned weaponry and burning the station and police vehicles to the ground.</p>
<p>In the end, no one was seriously harmed and the message was sent: We won&#8217;t accept your institution&#8217;s &#8220;collateral damage&#8221; any longer. We are taking it, we are burning it, we are taking the weapons of the police for ourselves. Eventually, this &#8220;riot&#8221; was quelled by neighboring police forces, but in <a href="http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/internacional/en/brazil/2014/07/1487825-following-babys-death-mob-frees-detainees-and-sets-police-station-on-fire-in-state-of-bahia.shtml" target="_blank">the Battle of Amargosa 16th of July 2014</a>, the victors were the citizens. And what of the state officials most likely to face the wrath of these fierce, enraged individuals? Like the cowards they are, they held up inside a local hotel. Take note,</p>
<p>The very next day, in a very different city, in a very different country, <a href="http://photographyisnotacrime.com/2014/07/17/nypd-kill-man-video-breaks-fight/" target="_blank">Eric Garner</a> gasped out his last breaths as gang members repping the New York Police Department colors piled on and choked him after he broke up a scuffle the NYPD were slow in responding to.</p>
<p>His crime? Garner was a known holder of contraband, which you might know as loose cigarettes. Despite no evidence that he was selling or even had said contraband on his person, after a brief verbal quarrel between Garner and the police, he was put into a chokehold, held on the ground and pounced on by several more NYPD gang members. His last words, the words of an innocent family man to these &#8220;peace officers?&#8221; &#8220;I can&#8217;t breathe. I can&#8217;t breathe. I can&#8217;t breathe. I can&#8217;t breathe.&#8221;</p>
<p>No riots occurred that day. Passersby did thought of their self-preservation and looked the other way. No agitators, no dissent . Just another dead black man on the New York City streets &#8230; only this time with a video. With the power of these images, of Garner&#8217;s last cries for mercy, the proud American people who value independence so highly were capable of summoning an Internet outrage. I even hear that Al Sharpton is involved. As of now <a href="http://photographyisnotacrime.com/2014/07/19/nypd-cop-placed-man-chokehold-leading-death-waves-camera-aftermath/" target="_blank">Daniel Pantaleo</a>, the officer who initiated the chokehold, has been relieved of his gun and sentenced to the harsh world of desk work. Meanwhile a few miles away, a mother and six children deal with the sadness, the horror and confusion of having their husband and father taken from them.</p>
<p>Eric Garner is dead and nothing will change because of that. At most, we will see a policy shift discouraging chokeholds (will of course not be abided by). Tomorrow or next week, there will be another Eric Garner. There will be another Eric Garner because there is still an NYPD precinct that wasn&#8217;t razed.</p>
<p>One might object to a comparison between these situations. The Amargosa police department has four patrolling officers, the NYPD thousands. The weaponry of the Amargosa police department is meager, that of NYPD military-grade. Surely the best way to remember Garner is the slow burn of policy change, of educating a mass movement which is uncooperative with the police, of anything but immediate and direct response.</p>
<p>I might have to forlornly agree with you, that any thought of a battle with the NYPD is doomed from the start. But make no mistake, to be radical on this matter is to encourage a spirit of rebellion like that of Amargosa. Violence and conflict is inevitable on the scale of the individual, the community, city and country. There will not be a true movement against police until we&#8217;re ready to assert the value of our loved ones&#8217; lives over those the claims of cops, whose daily plots always involve harassing you and treating you as hostile until proven otherwise.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time we treat the police with the same hostility they treat us with &#8212; and more! It is time to end them. It is always time to end your subjugation &#8212; by any means necessary. Amargosa&#8217;s people understood this. They may have been up against a less imposing department of uniformed killers, but they still faced death and imprisonment and chose to act rather to write angry letters. It took community, it took anger, it took a disregard for the safety or dignity of officers as equals. They are not equals. As is becoming ever more clear, modern police departments in America and around the world are occupiers, violating communities with every bullet, with every badge. It is time to burn them all to the ground, to take their arms and to free those they imprisoned. Don&#8217;t just do it for Eric Garner. Do it for yourself.</p>
