Given American history, it could not be otherwise that today’s victims of police brutality are overwhelmingly people of color. History also shows that as this brutality becomes accepted by the majority, it is inevitably used against everyone. To stop a complete police fascist takeover of the country, every instance of police violence and disregard for constitutional rights must be fought. — People’s Tribune Editorial Board
