No Cop City Anywhere: Governor Unveils Cop City NJ Plans (USA)

No Cop City Anywhere: Governor Unveils Cop City NJ Plans
Posted on March 29, 2023

We begin by quoting the recent press release from the governor’s office:

“The Governor’s budget continues to support initiatives that keep communities safe, including supporting law enforcement personnel and community-led prevention programs. As part of the Governor’s efforts to reduce violent crime in the State, the budget makes significant investments in the Division of Criminal Justice to staff new units and expand existing units with a focus on reducing gun violence, auto thefts, and exploitation, such as human trafficking and labor cases.

The budget also makes significant investments to strengthen the ranks of the New Jersey State Police, allocating $120 million to begin building a new training center for the next generation of New Jersey State Police and proposing an additional $5 million for the 166th State Trooper recruit class.

In an effort to ensure that the State’s first responders and law enforcement professionals receive the training and equipment necessary to protect and serve the State’s nine million residents, the Governor has proposed doubling the successful Firefighters Grant Program, bringing the total to $20 million.

The Governor is also recommending over $8 million in increased State funds for the first-in-the-nation statewide expansion of the Alternative Responses to Reduce Instances of Violence and Escalation – the ARRIVE Together program – which pairs police officers and State Troopers with mental health professionals when responding to a person who is experiencing a mental health crisis.”

It is our firm belief that what is to be done here is obvious.

The U.S. white power establishment wants to build cop city everywhere.

You are encouraged to heed the call and example from the Welaunee Forest: give them hell, everywhere.

Your courage, creativity, and connections will determine just how badly the U.S. empire will regret their choice to double down on policing the planet after 2020.

No Cop City Anywhere!
Fuck The Police!
Burn Down The Amerikan Plantation!
