<br>
Earlier this week, someone shared a post from 2018 that really struck me. It read: "If you call the cops and say "I'm homeless and starving, please help me!" they are not required to (and most likely will not) help you in any way. But, if someone calls them and says "I saw someone taking food out of the trash and sleeping on a park bench!" they are typically obligated to come arrest you or at least chase you away. And yet, people will swear up and down that policing is an essential service that is designed to protect us. They don't protect people. They protect property. If you don't have (enough) property, then your protection does not matter to them."<br>
<br>
The sentiment of this statement has felt incredibly apparent these past few months with, amongst others, the US killings of <a href="https://commonstransition.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=264f449ada6578c5f4b1aff25&id=f92236409a&e=6fd37f6402" style="color:#46c1c4;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">George Floyd</a> in May, Breonna Taylor (<a href="https://commonstransition.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=264f449ada6578c5f4b1aff25&id=4fb7d79848&e=6fd37f6402" style="color:#46c1c4;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">for which justice has STILL NOT BEEN SERVED</a>) in her bed in March and this week's shooting of <a href="https://commonstransition.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=264f449ada6578c5f4b1aff25&id=9cda42a0a0&e=6fd37f6402" style="color:#46c1c4;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Jacob Blake</a> seven times in his back by police in Wisconsin, in front of his three young children, as he tried to break up a fight.

The events of the past months have ignited a more mainstream conversation about what it might look like to 'defund' or 'abolish' the police and to invest in preventing the causes of crime; and spending the money that would usually be spent on policing on schools, hospitals and healthcare, better housing, mental health support and domestic violence interventions. Defunding the police would also look like co-creating alternative systems to prevent and repond to violent crimes.

There's been some incredible groundwork laid by people and groups the world over to work towards police-less communities (some examples of which I will share below) and it's a topic of great importance for those of us who are interested in a more mainstream transition to commoning. If the commons can be considered a social system for democratically, equitably and sustainably managing the resources of a community; then there are important conversations to be had about what justice and security might look like in more collaborative, localised, close-knit systems, with minimal or no reliance on the market or state.<br>

</div>
<div style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:16px"><em>By Alex S. Vitale</em><br>
<br>
This book attempts to spark public discussion by revealing the tainted origins of modern policing as a tool of social control. It shows how the expansion of police authority is inconsistent with community empowerment, social justice—even public safety. Drawing on groundbreaking research from across the world, and covering virtually every area in the increasingly broad range of police work, Alex Vitale demonstrates how law enforcement has come to exacerbate the very problems it is supposed to solve.<br>
<br>
In contrast, there are places where the robust implementation of policing alternatives—such as legalization, restorative justice, and harm reduction—has led to reductions in crime, spending, and injustice. The best solution to bad policing may be an end to policing.<br>

"The billions of dollars that the country has spent on policing in the past five years, he went on, have helped build forces that, on average, kill a thousand people every year; that spending may also have left the country’s health-care system unprepared to deal with an ongoing crisis. Protesters on the streets and, increasingly, people at home are arguing for a change in priorities."<br>
