Anarchists by nature are anti-authoritarians. So it's pretty obvious why we don't like police, the military, prisons, etc. We tend to think that the best cop is an unemployed one. If cops were true to their mission, they'd be trying to figure out how to put themselves out of work. Since our capitalist societies, with their increasing disparities in income, are responsible for much of crime, it's pretty obvious from the lack of talk by cops and society about this that they don't take their jobs very seriously. Crime is also caused by other factors: individuals psychologically and physiologically damaged by their upbringing and environment, crusades against drugs and other bugaboos, crimes defined by morals police, and crimes defined by legislators.
The most important reason for the existence of police is the need to protect our capitalist society. Police defend those with money. They are necessary in order to police those who don't like being poor. This page will, in the future, elaborate on this.
Please join us in our quest create a society where police are unnecessary.

president, he waged two bitter strikes against the state's largest
coal operators.
What
does Legal Self-Defense Against Riot Police Look Like?
We are in a societal crisis with police in America. I have said
for twenty years that I would prefer to see anyone but a cop at
the end of an alley alone, because a cop will get away with raping
me and they definitely are armed. As a teen, I witnessed my sister
have sex with a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer to
get out of a felony crime she got caught red-handed in. My other
sister said she, and her women friends, had sex with Boston Police
to get out of vehicle tickets and criminal charges. This trend
of women giving sexual favors to police to avoid criminal prosecution
has been going on in front of me since I was a teen in the 1970Ís.
Knowing that many police officers expect sexual favors in return
for criminal immunity has haunted me my whole life.

Judge: I Saw Police Commit Felonies
A judge presiding over the cases of free trade protesters said
in court that he saw ''no less than 20 felonies committed by police
officers'' during the November demonstrations, adding to a chorus
of complaints about police conduct.
As part of their jobs as the guards for the rich elite, the police feel obligated to slander and malign activists, radicals, and their groups. They'll do this in addition to covertly disrupting activist activities. The current tactic is to label activists as "terrorists."
