- In this program, Robin D. G. Kelley, Distinguished Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA, examines how police in the neoliberal era-in tandem with other state and corporate entities-have become engines of capital accumulation, government revenue, gentrification, the municipal bond market, the tech and private security industry-in a phrase, the profits of death. Kelley argues the police don’t just take lives; they make life and living less viable for the communities they occupy. The growth of police power has also fundamentally weakened democracy and strengthened “thanatocracy”-rule by death- especially with respect to Black communities.
Kelley says these same communities have produced a new abolition democracy, organizing to advance a different future, without oppression and exploitation, war, poverty, prisons, police, borders, the constraints of imposed gender, sexual, and ableist norms, and an economic system that destroys the planet while generating obscene inequality.

Great analysis here. I've always been intrigued by the violent origins of capitalism in Europe (amongst europeans) and how it's evils were propagated and 'perfected' in the Americas.
After studying & understanding the origins of Capitalism over in Europe. One sadly then understands that one of the primary reasons that African Americans got no 40 acres and a mule. At the end of the Civil War simply was bc the economic system known as American capitalism. Actually really did require a sorta permanent underclass to extract cheap labor from. Just like they did over in Europe byway of turning the farmers living off the land or their land into landless wage workers or minimal wage employee's
Brilliant work 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
thanks for this
I was shocked when I found out that police brutality is sponsored by our government. Police departments receive government grants for arrest and ticket quotas. 🤔 I always wondered why our presidents never said or done anything to stop police brutality, it's because they are responsible for police brutality.
so, you believe ppl can break the law and, things that follow afterwards are always others systematic bias and racism and blah blah.
Great.
@@user-mm5uo5vg7q But the stats don’t support your assertion of police brutality. Almost every single example pointed to has been a fabricated narrative.
Actually, the Governors are
Are you kidding?
Oh wow! Man! Wow! man, WOW, Man! Wow!
This was very informative.

A perfect example of complete ignorance! Give a fool a podium & they will spill "their" hate to any and all
that sit and listen! The trick these days, is to spill it as educational, intellectual, unemotional, detached dribble.
One that speaks soft, show pictures of "defiance", people "resisting" to spark the cause! Been working for decades!
But when it happens to you we are suddenly supposed to care? This is why we can never unite or understand one another.
Make no mistake the elites made it this way, they would be the ones who deserve your ire.
@@The10thdrago So wrong! Let's "blaming" others...AS ALWAYS! If "we" can blame others, that eliminates
"us" as our own worst enemy. The white-man, systemic racism, they won't teach our kids, blah, blah...always!
the "THEY" have "taught" our "kids" to steal, rob, pimp our women, sell drugs to our own, use drugs to the point
that "WE" are hopelessly addicted, on and on...THEY Did It...THEY! Now we, with our our "rap" culture preaching
like Sexy Red or pick a black 20-50yr male rapper with their, "I be" stealing, I be lying, I be crack smokin', I be
live, I be real...lyrics are NOT THE BLAME for negative imagery or polluting kids minds by the time they are 12yrs!
RIGHT! It's THEY...the others, they whites, the HATERS, the everything & anything besides US! Blame on, blame on!

⚡️⚡️Amazing!
I thought the same about the cold- bloody, heartless coward WITH A GU.N. Give a FOOL a gun, and he goes around shooting unarmed ladies, mother, daughter, sister, auntie.
Bet, so when you run into a cop who wants to take your life, nobody will bat an eye
🎉@@_VISION.Do you know just how many people each year are killed by the police? Not many, as people would like to have you believe... Nobody bats an eye now when it's a white person killed by police. The majority of people who are killed by police brought it on themselves not because they were innocent.
It is written in The Holy Bible original KJV 2 Peter 2:12 - They are natural brute beasts
Revelation 2:9 - I know thy (Hebrew) works, and Tribulation, poverty, (but thou (Hebrew Israelites) art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9 - Behold, I (YAHWEH and His Victorious Son YAHWEH BEN YAHWEH OUR Messiah) will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; Behold, I (YAHWEH BEN YAHWEH) will make them to come and worship before thy (Yisrael) feet, and to know that I (YAHWEH, YAHWEH BEN YAHWEH) have loved thee (Yehudaw).
I’m sorry? Are you saying that Brooks, who PASSED OUT in a DRIVE-THRU, should have been allowed to walk home?? If he doesn’t want to deal with the system, don’t break the law. All that Brooks had to do was because of HIS choices of action.
FACT!!!
He’s saying Brooks should have been able to live!! Not get shot dead for using the alcohol that the same system sold to him!
@@Joezeph592 I see. So you don’t believe in personal responsibility? You think it’s always someone else’s fault?
@@ninadaly7639People don’t live in a vacuum; the society/system they’re in shapes their personality. And thus share some responsibility for their behavior.
If Brooks wanted to live so much, why couldn’t he suck it up, take responsibility for HIS screw up, and do what he had to do?
Seriously! You are comparing this man to victims of Jim Crow Laws; and victim's of slavery. A man who was intoxicated and fell asleep at a drive thru; a man who disregarded the law and legal directives: where is the logic in this speakers argument. Oh, I get it, this guy is compensated if he can help his buddie sale a book. Hey, let's talk about how a lot of middle and upper middle class Blacks abandoned and castigated many of the lower class Blacks; having an elitists attitude toward these Blacks. I myself was shunned by these elitists Blacks; Not until I graduated from college and matriculated in the finance world was I accepted; a fake acceptance in most cases.
So...where do YOU teach, Professor? How much of your life have you dedicated to studying these topics? Hm? Ok, then. Shuuuuuut the fuck up 😂
Hey...where do you teach, professor? Show me your thesis or even proof that you actually study these topics. Got nothing? Ok...shut up then
Did you finish your thesis yet?
This guy is nonsense
Says you
