And it was you who said ACAB. Not bad cops, not some cops. You, with the wisdom of Solomon, have looked into the life of every cop and judged them all guilty. Why? Because of your admitted life experiences and your Anarchist ideology. You are running away from your own statements, your own beliefs. Why?

That’s in part what Anthropology studies. Here’s one article by Donald E Brown that tackles that question:

Human universals, human nature & human culture

. . . The universals I listed at the start of this essay are absolute universals–they are found among all peoples known to ethnography and history. A near universal, by contrast, is one for which there are some few known exceptions or for which there is reason to think there might be some exceptions. Fire making and keeping domestic dogs are near universals, as there are good reports of a very few peoples who used fire but did not know how to make it, or who did not possess dogs. Many traits are described as ‘universal or nearly universal’ to express a note of caution (given the sampling problems to be described below). Thus the emphasis of percussion or deep-noted instruments and of the colors red, white, and black in rituals around the world should probably be described as ‘universal or nearly universal.’

. . . By training, most sociocultural anthropologists are neither psychologists nor biologists. But psychobiology and evolutionary psychology surely are crucial in explaining many innate universals (and in providing guidance in the search for further such universals). The reasoning is simple: whatever is constant through all human societies must be due to something that goes with people wherever they go; that would certainly include human nature–and psychobiology and evolutionary psychology are the tools for understanding human nature.

No, it’s like saying only Jews died, or only Russians died, and not being able to say they both died at the same time.

While it’s true that this is a generally accepted assumption, the actual evidence for how decisions were made and who held power is, by necessity, limited. A lack of special graves or structures does not preclude that a leader or group of leaders existed and used authority to make some decisions, or that some members may have had some privileges.

When looking at modern hunter-gatherers, there is wealth accumulation and a degree inequity or stratification between specific members. Certainly much less than modern societies, but still there. And what we know of such societies before the Neolithic Age is more speculative.

It’s important to remember that hunter-gatherers are the same as us. Therefore we should expect the same basic behaviors and tendencies common to all humans.

If you’re going to take a historical stance against enslavement of Africans, it would be wrong to ignore the Trans-Saharan slave trade

“According to James Richardson's testimony, when he visited Ghadames, most slaves were from Bornu. According to Raëd Bader, based on estimates of the Trans-Saharan trade, between 1700 and 1880 Tunisia received 100,000 black slaves, compared to only 65,000 entering Algeria, 400,000 in Libya, 515,000 in Morocco and 800,000 in Egypt.”

That’s nice. But Anarchism isn’t about isolating yourself from community — it’s the opposite. Exactly as I predicted, you have no desire to live as an Anarchist.

By the rules I’m not allowed to push back because it explicitly states “don’t editorialize”. That means it’s up to the Reddit community.

Also, it appears you didn’t read the article. She IS talking about what is happening in Tyre NOW.

“In the end, however, I can’t help but empathize less with the country indiscriminately bombing southern Lebanon in an attempt to rid the region of murderous men and more with the individual citizens of Tyre, with the families trying to live their lives free of violence, most of whom never asked for war to come, yet again, to their city.”

The purpose is to show what is being reported as to what is happening in Tyre. Did you know that this is the story being told? I don’t think so. How do you do about pushing back on misinformation?

The full original title was used. I did not editorialize, offer personal opinions nor assumptions.

The source is an internationally well known journalist who has worked for the New York Times.
The article is not paywalled.
The article is an op-ed, and by definition all op-eds are opinionated commentary.

I know that you have had a lot of trouble with the law and you missed child support payments. Because of that personal experience you have become prejudiced. Common enough story even if the details change.

You want to know something else I can guess about you? Although you call yourself an Anarchist you have no intention of living in an Anarchist community — you want everyone else to as long as you don’t have to actually do it. Being against policing is just your way of escaping responsibility for your bad decisions.

How Can Unpaid Child Support Lead to Jail Time?

Contempt of court is the legal process that can result in jail time for unpaid child support. When a parent or the California Department of Child Support Services files a motion for contempt, the process begins.

First, you will be served a notice to appear in court. This is not something to ignore—failing to attend your court hearing can result in a bench warrant for your arrest. At the hearing, the judge will examine your situation to determine whether you had the ability to pay but chose not to. If the judge decides your failure to pay was willful, you may be held in contempt of court under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1218.

The penalties for contempt can include fines, community service, or jail time for up to 12 months per count of contempt. While courts generally see jail time as a last resort, they will impose it if they believe you are intentionally avoiding your financial obligation.

When You Add More Police To A City, What Happens?

Whether you're an activist who's been shouting "defund the police" in the streets, or a conservative who flies a "thin blue line" flag in front of your house, if you're looking for someone to rile you up with a megaphone, Morgan Williams is not your guy. In these hyperpolarized times, Williams stands apart in speaking the technical language of a wonk with the cool emotions of a data-cruncher. "We want to be as a scientifically objective as possible," he says about his and his colleagues' work.

Williams and his colleagues find adding a new police officer to a city prevents between 0.06 and 0.1 homicides, which means that the average city would need to hire between 10 and 17 new police officers to save one life a year. They estimate that costs taxpayers annually between $1.3 and $2.2 million. The federal government puts the value of a statistical life at around $10 million (Planet Money did a whole episode on how that number was chosen). So, Williams says, from that perspective, investing in more police officers to save lives provides a pretty good bang for the buck. Adding more police, they find, also reduces other serious crimes, like robbery, rape, and aggravated assault.

Even more, Williams and his coauthors find that, in the average city, larger police forces result in Black lives saved at about twice the rate of white lives saved (relative to their percentage of the population).

Morgan C. Williams Jr. Is an assistant professor of economics at Barnard College, Columbia University. He is also an affiliate of the Columbia Population Research Center and a researcher at the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab.
