Our System Is Corroded: Carol Anderson on Rampant Police Violence and Assault on Voting Rights
On Thursday, disturbing new details were revealed in the case of Ahmaud Arbery, the 25-year-old Black man who was chased, ambushed and shot dead by a group of white men in Georgia in what many have called a modern-day lynching. In a nearly seven-hour hearing, a state judge concluded all three men - Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan - would stand trial for Arbery's murder, after special agent Richard Dial of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation testified Travis McMichael said "f-ing n-" after shooting and killing Arbery. We speak with professor Carol Anderson, author of "White Rage," about Arbery's slaying, the nationwide protests, anti-lynching legislation being debated in the Senate and the upcoming election.

Black police cannot get the same level of advocacy in the police unions as white officers. They are getting shot or having "near misses" in the field from white officers. A black cop in Baltimore was murdered a day before he was to testify to the grand jury against a rouge white cop! The rabbit hole is deep! Black people need to rethink joining the military and becoming law enforcement officers. Ijs

In 1959, Whites use to thrown bricks in our living room every night in Chicago, Ill. My father carried me in his arm turning the lights off upstairs and downstairs. I finally ask why was he turning the lights off. He calmly told me that we were going to the basement to sleep because whites are were going to start throwing bricks, etc.,through our windows. We would have dinner early. I noticed my Mother gathering A basket of Snacks, blankets, and Pillows, and Candles. It was the Police throwing the bricks, so it was joke to call the police on themsrlves.

Love me some Professor Carol Anderson!! Powerful, visual, and excellence. Love her books. You are a National Treasure, Ms Anderson.
This is not new...30 yrs. ago I worked in a store in a busy intersection once in a while I stumbled on trouble makers got me to call police..dispatcher always ask about the complained race..I noticed when I tell them white they take exactly an hour to show up which by then the person is gone, if the complain about black they show up in less than 3 minuets..I said to my self back then WOW!
When a police officer treats people in that way they need to be held accountable. They should do time in jail. Those young people will never feel safe. PTS.

Absolutely. Contrary to DN's framing of the issue, state violence, political repression, and economic destitution are issues which affect the poor of all race in the U. S. And the ranks of the poor have increasingly swollen as a result of decades of mismanagement by both "Republican" and "Democratic" administrations and congresses.
It's deeper than brutality as hard as it is to get past it. It's condoned and perpetrated by prosecutors, public defenders, commissioners, and the the lists continues. It's the biggest money makers of the States.

I cannot imagine living in the south in our history. I’m not sure I could have handled seeing the devil incarnate on a daily basis.

moving and impressing: thanx much for insight and heartfelt enlightment!
During the 1960s and 1970s in Oakland California, the cops used to take people up in the hills and beat them almost to death and would leave them to die. No one knew about it until years later.
THERE IS NOTHING MORE POWERFUL THAN AN "IDEA" WHOSE TIME HAS COME! IN WORLDWIDE SOLIDARITY WITH ALL PEOPLE'S.. THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES! FIGHT THE POWER!!
Our system is not "corroded" It's operating exactly as it was designed.
When I go to vote, I tell them my name and address and they cross me off a list of people eligible to vote in my electorate. They don’t even ask for ID. The list is thick like a ‘phonebook but better quality paper. We only use paper ballots and I usually take a “how to vote” leaflet from a Greens Party volunteer on my way into the voting area, which for me is a local school hall. We use preferential voting here which entails writing a number “1” in a box next to my most preferred candidate and - if say, four candidates are competing for the seat in my electorate - a number “4” next to my least preferred candidate, which is usually one of those scumbags like Rand or McConnell. I‘d probably write a number “2” people’s party candidate and a “3” next to a socialist party candidate if these were running. But I would usually (though not always) vote as advised by my preferred candidate’s party (the Greens).

As regards the section on the anti-lynching law, I'm actually glad it was blocked, as I was under the understanding that murder was already prohibited. While vile motives such as racial hatred should certainly be a factor in the sentencing, having a special law to enshrine blacks as a special, protected caste will only alienate yet more people.
