As long as the state has existed, people have defended each other
against its assaults. The state has been coercive and destructive
since its inception; the police are just one of its more recent
enforcement mechanisms. As soon as there were police, there was
resistance to the police.
Here,
we have collected the voices of maybe two dozen people, most of them
anonymous. Yet in the events they describe, we can see the agency of
thousands who stood up to the police, who refused to permit them to
divide and conquer us, to play the boot on the State’s foot, that
would crush us all into oblivion if we let it.
