Act Out! [123] - Do This Before You Call the Cops + How To Abolish Slavery (Again) & Policing

Act Out! [123] - Do This Before You Call the Cops + How To Abolish Slavery (Again) & Policing
Wed, 8/9/2017 - by Eleanor Goldfield
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week on Act Out!, it's all about cops. Specifically, how to avoid them and the entire for-profit injustice system. First we take a look at how and why cops respond to different people and situations, then we dig into community alternatives to dialing 9-1-1. Next up, today's legalized slavery is ironically couched in the abolishing slavery amendment. And finally, Antonio Buehler from Peaceful Streets Project talks about ending police abuse and restoring rights by protecting and serving each other.
