Izizathu ezili-10 zokuba ukubuyisa imali yamapolisa kuholele kwimfazwe yokubuyisa imali

NguMedea uBenjamin noZoltán Grossman, nge-14 kaJulayi ngo-2020

Ukusukela ukubulawa kukaGeorge Floyd, sibone ukwanda “kwemfazwe esekhaya” ngokuchasene nabantu abamnyama nabantsundu nge “mfazwe zaphesheya” ezithi i-US ilwe nabantu bamanye amazwe. Imikhosi yamajoni nomkhosi weSizwe ithunyelwe kwizixeko zase-US, amapolisa asemkhosini aphatha izixeko zethu njengeendawo zokuhlala. Ukuphendula kule "mfazwe ingapheliyo" ekhaya, ukukhala okukhulayo kunye nokuduma kwemali yokuhlawula amapolisa kuqinisekiswe ngemibuzo yokubuyisa iimfazwe zePentagon. Endaweni yokuba sizibone ezi zinto zimbini kodwa zahambelana, kufuneka sizibone zinxibelelene ngokusondeleyo, kuba ubundlobongela bobuhlanga obunamapolisa ezitratweni zethu kunye nogonyamelo lobuhlanga e-US kudala lwasenza ebantwini kwihlabathi liphela libonisa imifanekiso yomntu ngamnye.

Sinokufunda okungakumbi malunga nemfazwe esekhaya ngokufunda iimfazwe zaphesheya, kwaye sifunde ngakumbi malunga neemfazwe zaphesheya ngokufunda ngemfazwe ekhaya. Nazi ezinye zonxibelelwano:

1. I-US ibulala abantu enemibala ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe. I-United States yasekwa phezu kombono wokuphakama okumhlophe, ukusuka kohlanga ngokuchasene nabemi baseMelika ukuxhasa inkqubo yobukhoboka. Amapolisa ase-US abulala malunga abantu 1,000 ngonyaka, ngokungakhethiyo kuluntu lwabantsundu kunye nolunye uluntu olunombala. Umgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle wase-US ngokufanayo usekwe kumgaqo-nkqubo omhlophe ovela kwelaseMelika “wokungaqhelekanga,” ngokuhambelana nabalingani baseYurophu. I Ungcelele olungapheliyo lweemfazwe umkhosi wase-US ulwe phesheya ngekhe kwenzeke ngaphandle kwe Umbono wehlabathi owenza abantu abasemzini bafumane isidima. Ukuba ufuna ukubhuqa okanye ukuhlasela ilizwe langaphandle eligcwele ngabantu abantsundu okanye abantsundu, njengoko umkhosi wase-United States usenza njalo, kuya kufuneka uqale ubenzele idemon, ubaphathe abantu, ubacebise ukuba babuyela umva abantu abadinga sisindisa okanye sisindisa abantu abafuna ukubulala, ” Intatheli Mehdi Hasan. Umkhosi wase-US unoxanduva lokufa kwe amakhulu amawaka yabantu abamnyama nabantsundu kwihlabathi liphela, kunye nokuvinjwa amalungelo abo okuzimisela kuzwelonke. Imigangatho ephindwe kabini engcwalisa ubomi bemikhosi yaseMelika kunye nabemi, kodwa idelela abantu amazwe abo iPentagon kunye nabadlelane bayo abayitshabalalisayo njengenye exabisa abamhlophe baphila ngaphezulu kokuhlala abamnyama nabantsundu ekhaya.

2. Njengokuba i-US yayidalwe ngokuthatha umhlaba wabantu boMthonyama ngenkani, neMelika njengombuso isebenzisa imfazwe ukwandisa ukufikelela kwiimarike kunye nezixhobo. I-Settler colonialism ibe "yimfazwe engapheliyo" ekhaya ngokuchasene neentlanga zemveli, ezazithinjwe xa imihlaba yabo isachazwa njengemihlaba yamanye amazwe, ukuba ifakwe kumhlaba wabo ochumileyo kunye nobutyebi bendalo. Iinqaba zoMkhosi ezazimi kwizizwe zamandulo ngelo xesha zazilingana neziseko zomkhosi wamanye amazwe namhlanje, kwaye abachasi boMthonyama babengabo "bavukeli" bokuqala ababesendleleni yoloyiso lwaseMelika. "Ukubonakalisa i-Destiny" yamathanga kumazwe aseMveli morphed kulwandiso lwangaphandle lwe-imperi, kubandakanya ukubanjwa kweHawaii, iPuerto Rico, kunye nezinye iikholoni, kunye neemfazwe ezingxamisekileyo ePhilippines naseVietnam. Kwinkulungwane ye-21st, iimfazwe ezazikhokelwa yi-US zonakalise uMbindi Mpuma kunye ne-Asia eseMbindini, ngelixa lisonyusa ulawulo kwimithombo yamandla epetroli. IPentagon inayo usebenzise itemplate yeMfazwe zaseIndiya Ukoyikisa uluntu lwaseMelika ngesiqalo “semimandla engenanto yakwenza nomthetho” ekufuneka "sithintelwe," phakathi kwamazwe anjenge-Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, neSomalia. Ngeli xesha, uWandiswa Knee ngonyaka ka-1973 kunye nelitye elimiyo ngo-2016 zibonisa indlela ubukoloniyali obuya kuphinda ubuyiselwe kwakhona kwilizwe lase-US. Ukumisa imibhobho yeoyile kunye nokubeka ngaphezulu imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yeColumbus kubonisa indlela ukuxhathisa kwabantu bemveli kunokuvuselelwa kwakhona entliziyweni yobukumkani.

3. Amapolisa nemikhosi yomkhosi bobabini ngaphakathi bathwaxwa bubuhlanga. Ngoqhanqalazo oluMnyama lwaBantu abaNtsundu, abantu abaninzi ngoku bafundile ngemvelaphi yamapolisa ase-US kumacala onke amhlophe amakhoboka. Ayiyongozi ukuba ukuqasha kunye nokunyusa ngaphakathi kumasebe amapolisa babethanda abamhlophe ngokwembali, kwaye amagosa anemibala kwilizwe lonke aqhubeka njalo sue amasebe abo okuba nocalucalulo. Kukwanjalo nasemkhosini, apho ukwahlukaniswa nomgaqo-nkqubo bekuseburhulumenteni de kwangowe-1948. Namhlanje, abantu bemibala balandelwa ukuzalisa izikhundla ezisezantsi, kodwa hayi kwizikhundla eziphezulu. Abaqeqeshi emkhosini bamisa izikhululo zokuqesha kwiindawo ezinemibala, apho urhulumente alahlwa-hlulwa khona kwiinkonzo zentlalo ntle kunye nezemfundo esenza ukuba emkhosini enye yeendlela ezimbalwa zokufumana umsebenzi, kodwa ukufikelela kukhathalelo lwempilo kunye nemfundo yasimahla yasekholejini. Yiyo loo nto malunga 43 ekhulwini ye-1.3 yezigidi yamadoda nabafazi abasebenza ngokubonakalayo ngabantu abanemibala, kwaye amaMelika aseMelika akhonza kuMkhosi oxhobileyo kwi mahlanu umndilili wesizwe. Kodwa ii-echelons eziphambili zomkhosi zihlala ziphantse zibe yiklabhu yabafana abamhlophe (kubaphathi abakhulu abangama-41, kuphela zimbini zimnyama kwaye inye kuphela ibhinqa). Ngaphantsi kukaTrump, ubuhlanga emkhosini buyanda. U-2019 survey ifumanise ukuba iipesenti ezingama-53 zokunikezelwa kwenkonzo yombala bathi babone imizekelo yobuzwe obuMhlophe okanye ubuhlanga obuqhutywa yimbono yobuhlanga phakathi kwamajoni elinye, inani lenyuka kakhulu kwivoti enye ngo-2018. ngenisa emkhosini kwaye dibana ngamapolisa.

4. Imikhosi yePentagon kunye nezixhobo "ezingaphezulu" zisetyenziswa ezitratweni zethu. Kanye njengokuba iPentagon ihlala isebenzisa ulwimi "lwezenzo zamapolisa" ukuchaza ungenelelo lwangaphandle, amapolisa ayenziwa emkhosini e-US Xa i-Pentagon yaphela ngo-1990s enezixhobo zemfazwe ezazingasafuneki, yadala "Inkqubo eyi-1033" Ukusasaza imithwalo yabasebenzi abaxhobileyo, imipu engaphantsi, kunye neziqhushumbisi zebhanti kumasebe amapolisa. Ngaphezulu kwe- 7.4 yezigidigidi zeedola Kwizixhobo zomkhosi nakwimpahla zigqithiselwe kumagosa angaphaya kwama-8,000 agcina umthetho-eguqula amapolisa ukuba abe liqela labantu kwizixeko zethu njengeendawo zemfazwe. Sikubonile ngokucacileyo oku ngonyaka ka-2014 emva kokubulawa kukaMichael Brown, xa amapolisa egadalala nezixhobo zomkhosi esenza izitalato zaseFerguson, eMissouri. ibonakala njenge Irakh. Kutshanje, sibone la mikhosi yamapolisa yomkhosi ijolise kwi-George Floyd Rebellion, nge iihelikopta zomkhosi ngaphezulu, kunye neRhuluneli yaseMinnesota ngokuthelekisa ukuthunyelwa kunye "nemfazwe yaphesheya." UTrump unayo imikhosi yemikhosi eqhutywa kwaye yafuna ukuthumela ngaphezulu, kakhulu imikhosi esebenzayo yasebenza ngaphambili ngokuchasene noqhankqalazo lwabasebenzi abaliqela ngeminyaka yee-1890s-1920s, uqhankqalazo lweBonus Army ngo-1932, kunye novukelo lwabantsundu eDetroit ngo-1943 nango-1967, kwizixeko ezininzi ngo-1968 (emva kokubulawa kukaGqr. Martin Luther King Jr.) eLos Angeles ngo-1992 (emva kokubanjwa kwamapolisa owayebethile uRodney King). Ukuthumela kumajoni aqeqeshelwe ukulwa kuphela kwenza imeko embi ibe mandundu, kwaye oku kungavula amehlo abantu baseMelika kubundlobongela obengezelayo abathi umkhosi wama-US uzame, kodwa uhlala usilela, ukuphelisa ukungangqinelani kumazwe ahlala kuwo. ICongress ngoku inokuchasa ukuhanjiswa kwezixhobo zasemkhosini emapoliseni, kwaye Amagosa ePentagon anokuphikisa ukusebenzisa imikhosi ngokuchasene nabemi base-US ekhaya, kodwa abanakuchasa xa iithagethi zingabaphambukeli okanye nditsho nabemi baseMelika abahlala phesheya.

5. Ungenelelo lwaseMelika phesheya, ngakumbi "uMlo ngeNxwaleko," zitshabalalisa inkululeko yethu ekhaya. Iindlela zobuchule bokubeka esweni kuvavanyo lwangaphandle Kungeniswe ixesha elide ukunqanda ukungavani ekhaya, okoko kuhlala abantu kwiLatin America nakwiPhilippines. Ukuvuka kohlaselo lwe-9/11, ngelixa umkhosi wase-US uthenge i-super drones ukubulala iintshaba zase-US (kunye nabemi abamsulwa) kwaye uqokelele ubukrelekrele kuzo zonke izixeko, amasebe amapolisa ase-US aqale ukuthenga amancinci, kodwa anamandla, ahlola i-drones. Abaqhankqalazi abaMnyama abaNtu abaTyhileyo kutshanje bazibonile ezi “Amehlo esibhakabhakeni” abahlola. Lo ngomnye nje umzekelo woluntu olujongileyo ukuba i-US ibikho ukusukela nge-9/11. Oko kubizwa ngokuba "yiMfazwe ngeNgcaciso" kuye kwaba sisizathu sokonyuswa kwamandla kumagunya asekhaya ekhaya-kubanzi "ukumba idatha," kunyusa imfihlo yeearhente zikaRhulumente, uluhlu lwe-No-Fly lululela ukuthintela abantu abangamashumi amawaka , kunye noRhulumente omkhulu ehlola intlalo, inkolo kunye namaqela ezopolitiko, ukusuka kumaQuaker ukuya eGreenpeace ukuya e-ACLU, kubandakanya ukuhlola okomkhosi kumaqela emfazwe. Ukusetyenziswa kwee-mercenaries ezingafumanekiyo phesheya kwenza ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwabo kubekhona emakhaya, njengaxa iikontraka zokhuseleko zabucala zabucala ukusuka eBaghdad ukuya eNew Orleans Ekuvukeni kweNkanyamba uKatrina ngo-2005, ukuze isetyenziselwe uluntu olumnyama oluchithekileyo. Kwaye, ukuba amapolisa kunye namajoni axhobileyo asekunene enza udlame ngaphandle kokungaziphathi kakuhle kwilizwe labo, oko kuyinto eqhelekileyo kwaye kunika nogonyamelo olukhulu kwenye indawo.

6. I-xenophobia kunye ne-Islamophobia entliziyweni ye- "War on Terror" iye yondla inzondo yabafuduki kunye namaSilamsi ekhaya. Kanye njengokuba iimfazwe zisemazweni aphesheya zivumelekile ngenxa yocalucalulo kunye nokukhetha inkolo, zikwanceda amhlophe kunye nobukrelekrele bobuKristu ekhaya, njengoko kunokubonwa ekubanjisweni kukaJapan-eMelika ngo-1940s, nangokuchasana kwamaSilamsi okwenyuka kweminyaka yoo-1980. Uhlaselo lwe-9/11 lwenzakalise ulwaphulo-mthetho lwentiyo nxamnye namaSilamsi kunye namaSikh, kunye nesibhengezo sokuhamba esivumayo ukungena e-US kubantu abavela kwilizwe liphela, ukwahlula iintsapho, ukuthintela abafundi ukuba bafumane iiyunivesithi, nokubamba abafuduki kwiintolongo zabucala. USenator Bernie Sanders, umbhalo Kwimicimbi yezangaphandle, uthe, "Xa iinkokheli zethu ezikhethiweyo, iipundits, kunye neendaba zetafile zikhuthaza abantu ukuba bangoyiki malunga nabanqolobi abangamaSilamsi, badala imeko yokoyika nokukrokrela malunga nabemi baseMelika baseMelika-imeko apho idemokrasi enje ngeTrump inokukhula. . " Ubuye wakugxeka ubungqingili obubangelwa kukuguqula ingxoxo yethu yokufudukela kwingxoxo-mpikiswano malunga nokhuseleko lwaseMelika, ukubeka izigidi zabemi baseMelika ngokuchasene nabangenabungqina. Ukulwa ngomda komda we-US-Mexico, ukusebenzisa amabango e-hyperbolic abangena ngokuchasene nolwaphulomthetho kunye nabanqolobi, kuye kwalungiswa ngendlela eqhelekileyo ukusetyenziswa kwamadlala kunye nokujonga okuzisa ubuchwepheshe bolawulo "lwelizwe." (Okwangoku, iZiko lase-US kunye nabasebenzi boKhuseleko lweMida babekhona yahanjiswa kwimida yase-Iraq.)

7. Omabini umkhosi kunye namapolisa ancancisa izixa ezikhulu zeerhafu zokuhlawulwa kwerhafu ekufuneka zisetyenziselwe ukwakha uluntu olunobulungisa, oluzinzileyo nolunolingano. Abantu baseMelika sele bethatha inxaxheba ukuxhasa ubundlobongela bakarhulumente, nokuba siyayazi okanye asiyi, ngokuhlawula irhafu emapoliseni nakwezomkhosi siyenza loo nto ngamagama ethu. Uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwamapolisa luchaza ipesenti yenkcitho yezezimali yezixeko xa kuthelekiswa nezinye iinkqubo ezibalulekileyo kuluntu, ukususela Iipesenti ezingama-20 ukuya kwengama-45 zeenkxaso-mali kwiingingqi ezinkulu. Ukuchitha kwemali yamapolisa kwisixeko saseBaltimore ngo-2020 yinto emangazayo eyi- $ 904 (cinga ngento enokuthi yenziwe ngumhlali ngamnye nge- $ 904). Kwilizwe liphela, i-US ichitha ngaphezulu kwemali iphindwe kabini "kumthetho nocwangco" njengoko kusenziwa kwiinkqubo zentlalontle ezinkozo. Lo mkhwa uye wanda ukusukela ngeminyaka yoo-1980, nanjengoko sikhuphe imali kwiinkqubo zentlupheko zokulwa ulwaphulo-mthetho, isiphumo esingenakuphepheka sokungakhathalelwa. Ipateni efanayo iyinyani kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwePentagon. Uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lomkhosi lwango-2020 lwezigidi ezingama-738 zeedola likhulu kunamazwe alishumi alandelayo edibeneyo. IWashington Post umbiko ukuba i-US ichithe icandelo elifanayo le-GDP yayo kwezomkhosi njengoko amazwe amaninzi aseYurophu esenza, "inokuxhasa umgaqo-nkqubo wokukhathalela abantwana, yongeze i-inshurensi yezempilo kubantu abamalunga nezigidi ezingama-30 baseMelika abangenayo, okanye babonelele ngotyalo mali lokulungisa Iziseko zophuhliso zesizwe. " Ukuvala iziseko zomkhosi ezingama-800+ phesheya unokugcina i-100 lamawaka ezigidi zeedola ngonyaka. Ukubeka phambili amapolisa kunye nomkhosi kuthetha ukuthoba izibonelelo kwiimfuno zoluntu. Nkqu noMongameli Eisenhower wachaza inkcitho yasemkhosini ngonyaka ka-1953 "njengobusela abo balambayo kwaye abangondliwa."

8. Iindlela zokucinezela ezisetyenziswa phesheya ziyakufika ekhaya. Amajoni aqeqeshelwa ukubona uninzi lwabemi abadibana nabo phesheya njengengcipheko. Xa bebuya e-Iraq okanye e-Afghanistan, bafumanise ukuba omnye wabaqeshi bambalwa abonelela kuqala kwi-vets ngamasebe amapolisa kunye neenkampani zokhuseleko. Banikezela ngokulinganayo imivuzo ephezulu, izibonelelo ezilungileyo, kunye nokhuselo lomanyano, yiyo loo nto omnye kwintlanu amapolisa ligqala. Ke, namajoni afika ekhaya ene-PTSD okanye ukusebenzisa iziyobisi notywala, endaweni yokuba anyanyekelwe ngokwaneleyo, anikwa izixhobo aze abekwe ezitratweni. Yiyo lonto zifundo zi bonisa ukuba amapolisa anamava asemkhosini, ngakumbi abo batyhutyhile phesheya, ikakhulu angabandakanyeka kwizenzo zokudubula kweziya zingenayo inkonzo yasemkhosini. Obu bunye ubudlelwane bempindezelo ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe buyinyani ngeendlela zokuhlukunyezwa, ezazifundiswa kumkhosi wamapolisa nakumapolisa kulo lonke elaseLatin America ngexesha lomlo obandayo. Babesetyenziswa kuma-Afghans kwintolongo yase-US e-Bagram Air Base, nakwi-Iraqis kwintolongo yase-Abu Ghraib, apho omnye wabatshutshisi wayekhe wasebenzisa iindlela ezifanayo njengesixhobo unogada wentolongo ePennsylvania. Injongo ye ukugqobhoza amanzi, indlela yokuhlukumeza eyolula imfazwe ye-antiingency eNative America nasePhilippines, kukuthintela umntu ukuba aphefumle, njengamapolisa abulala uEric Garner okanye idolo entanyeni ebulale uGeorge Floyd. #ICantBreathe ayisiyo kuphela ingxelo yokutshintsha ekhaya, kodwa nengxelo enefuthe lehlabathi.

9. Umlo ngeZiyobisi ubeke imali engaphezulu emapoliseni nabasemkhosini kodwa uye wonzakalisa abantu bemibala, ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe. Le nto ibizwa ngokuba "yiMfazwe yeziyobisi" ichaphazele uluntu ngombala, ngakumbi abaNtu abaMnyama, ekhokelela kumanqanaba entlekele yobundlobongela bemipu nokubanjwa kwabantu abaninzi. Abantu bemibala ikakhulu banokuyemiswa, bakhangelwe, babanjwe, bagwetywe, kwaye bagwetywe gadalala ngokuchasene neziyobisi. Phantse 80 ekhulwini yabantu abakwintolongo yomdibaniso kwaye phantse ama-60 epesenti yabantu abakwintolongo zikarhulumente ngenxa yezityholo zeziyobisi zimnyama okanye ziLatinx. Imfazwe yeziyobisi iye yatshabalalisa noluntu phesheya. Kuwo wonke uMzantsi Melika, iCaribbean, neAfghanistan kuzo zombini ezi mveliso zokuthengisa iziyobisi nakwiindawo zokurhweba, iimfazwe ezixhaswe yi-US zixhobise kuphela ulwaphulo-mthetho olucwangcisiweyo kunye neenqwelwana zamachiza, zikhokelela kwindawo ukuphakama kobundlobongela, urhwaphilizo, ukungathathi cala, ukhukuliseko lomthetho, nokunyhashwa kwamalungelo abantu. UMbindi Merika ngoku ulikhaya kwezinye zehlabathi izixeko eziyingozi, ekhokelela ekufudukeni kwabantu abaninzi ukuya e-US uDonald Trump axhobise ngenjongo yezopolitiko. Njengoko iimpendulo zamapolisa ekhaya zingazisombululi iingxaki zentlalo eziphuma kubuhlwempu kunye nokuphelelwa lithemba (kwaye zihlala zidala ukwenzakala ngaphezulu kokulungileyo), ukuthunyelwa komkhosi phesheya akusombululeli iingxaki zembali ezihlala zinengcambu yokungalingani kwezentlalo nezoqoqosho, kwaye endaweni yoko zenze umjikelo wobundlobongela obenza mandundu intlekele.

10. Oomatshini bokuzonwabisa baqinisa inkxaso yenkxaso-mali yamapolisa kunye nomzi mveliso. Iindawo zokunyanzelwa komthetho kudala zakha inkxaso yamapolisa kunye nentolongo phakathi kwezopolitiko zikarhulumente nezomanyano, zisebenzisa uloyiko lolwaphulo-mthetho, kunye nomnqweno wenzuzo kunye nemisebenzi ethe yaziswa kubasekeli bayo. Phakathi kwabanamandla ababuyileyo ngamapolisa kunye nemibutho yabasebenzi ejongene nonogada, abathi endaweni yokusebenzisa imibutho yabasebenzi ukukhusela abangenamandla ngokuchasene nabanamandla, bakhusele amalungu abo kwizikhalazo zoluntu ngogonyamelo. Ubunzima bemikhosi yasemkhosini ngokufanayo busebenzisa umsipha wayo wokubambisa ukugcina oosopolitiki bethobela iminqweno yabo. Rhoqo ngonyaka, izigidi ngezigidi zeerandi zibanjiswa kubarhafi baseMelika ukuya kumakhulu amaqela emibutho yezamashishini, abathi ke baphinde babambe imikhankaso yokuthengisa becela uncedo olungaphaya lwasemkhosini kunye nokuthengisa izixhobo. Bona Kuchitha I-125 yezigidi zeedola ngonyaka ekubambeni abanye, kwaye enye iidola ezingama-25 ezigidi ngonyaka ngokunikela kwimikhankaso yezopolitiko. Izixhobo zemveliso zibonelele ngezigidi zabasebenzi ngemivuzo ephezulu yesizwe, kunye nemibutho yabasebenzi abaninzi (njenge Oomatshini) ziyinxalenye ye-Pentagon lobby. Ezi ndawo zokugcina iikhontrakthi zasemkhosini ziye zaba namandla kwaye zinempembelelo kungekuphela nje kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali kodwa nasekuqulunqweni komgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle wase-US. Amandla omzi-mveliso wezobupolitika sele eyingozi kakhulu kunoMongameli Eisenhower ngokwakhe owoyikayo xa wayelumkisa ilizwe, ngo-1961, ngokuchasene nefuthe laso elingafanelekanga.

Zombini "ukubuyisa imali yamapolisa" kunye "nemfazwe yokubuyisa imali," ngelixa zichaswa ngabaninzi abakhethiweyo baseRiphabhlikhi kunye neDemocrats eziphambili, bafumana inkxaso yoluntu. Abezopolitiko abaziintloko kudala boyika ukupeyintiwa “njengobuthathaka kulwaphulo-mthetho” okanye “njengokuthintela ezokhuseleko.” Le ndlela yokuziphucula iyavelisa umbono wokuba i-US idinga amapolisa ngaphezulu ezitalatweni kunye namajoni angaphezulu asebupoliseni behlabathi, kungenjalo kuzolawula ezinye izidubedube. Imithombo yeendaba ephambili igcine abezopolitiko besoyikela ukubanikezela naluphi na uhlobo lombono ongenguwo omncinci. Kodwa ukuvukelwa kutshanje kubuyisele "ukuBolekisa amapolisa" ukusuka kwingxoxo yentshukumo ukuya kwincoko yesizwe, kwaye ezinye izixeko sele zithutha izigidi zeedola emapoliseni ziye kwiinkqubo zabahlali.

Ngokunjalo, ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ukubiza ukuncitshiswa kwinkcitho yomkhosi wase-US bekungahambi kakuhle eWashington DC unyaka nonyaka, bonke ngaphandle kweDemokhrasi ezimbalwa badibana nabantu baseRiphabhliki ukuba bavote ngokwenyusa inkcitho kwezomkhosi. Kodwa ngoku sele iqalile ukutshintsha. Umnxibelelanisi u-Barbara Lee wazisa imbali, umdla Isisombululo Ukuphakamisa amakhulu ezigidi ezingama-350 ezigidi zeedola, ukusukela kumashumi amane eepesenti kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwePentagon. Kwaye uSen. Bernie Sanders, kunye nezinye inkqubela phambili waziswa lungiso kuMthetho wokuGunyazisa woKhuseleko kuZwelonke ukusika uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwePentagon ngepesenti ezilishumi.

Njengokuba sifuna ukuyichaza ngokutsha indima yamapolisa kwiindawo esihlala kuzo, nathi ke kufuneka siyichaze ngokutsha indima yabezomkhosi kuluntu lwehlabathi. Njengokuba sicula "Ubomi obuMnyama," kufuneka sikhumbule nobomi babantu abasweleka mihla le kwiibhombu zase-US e-Yemen nase-Afghanistan, izohlwayo zase-US e-Venezuela nase-Iran, nakwizixhobo zase-US ePalestine nase Philippines. Ukubulawa kwabantu abamnyama baseMelika ngokufanelekileyo kuvusa inyambalala yoqhankqalazo, olunokuthi luncede ukuvula iwindow yokwazisa malunga ngamakhulu amawaka Kubomi baseMelika bokulwa. Njengeqonga leNtshukumo yabaNtshatsheli boBomi abaMnyama uthi: "Intshukumo yethu mayidityaniswe neentshukumo zenkululeko kwihlabathi liphela."

Abo ngoku imibuzo a ngokugqithisileyo indlela yokunyanzeliswa komthetho kufuneka ibuze nendlela yokulwa nomkhosi kubudlelwane bamanye amazwe. Uninzi lwamapolisa angafumaneki kwimpahla yoqhushululu ayingozi kwiindawo esihlala kuzo, ngokunjalo, umkhosi ongaphenduliyo, oxhobele amazinyo kwaye usebenza ikakhulu emfihlakalweni, uyingozi kwihlabathi. Ngexesha lentetho yakhe yokulwa ne-impiriyali, "Ngaphandle kweVietnam," uGqirha uKing udume wathi: "Andinakuphinda ndiphakamise ilizwi lam ngokuchasene nobundlobongela babacinezelweyo kwii-ghettos ngaphandle kokuba ndiqale ndathetha ngokucacileyo koyena mntu ungoyena mntu ubundlobongela emhlabeni. namhlanje: ngurhulumente wam. ”

Uqhankqalazo "lokuhlawula imali yamapolisa" kunyanzelise abantu baseMelika ukuba babone ngaphaya kotshintsho lwamapolisa, ukuze baphinde babonwe kukhuseleko loluntu. Ke, kufuneka siphinde siqwalasele kwakhona ukhuseleko lwesizwe kwisiqubulo esithi "iMali yokuBuyisa." Ukuba sifumanisa ukuba ubundlongondlongo bengakhethi buso kwizitrato zethu ziyothusa, kufuneka sive ngokufanayo ngogonyamelo lukarhulumente kumazwe aphesheya, kwaye sibize ukuphuma kwamapolisa ngamapolisa kunye nePentagon, siphinde sibuyise ezo dola zirhafu ukwakha izindlu zoluntu ekhaya nakumanye amazwe.
