The police are a state body used to repress the working class and protect the profits of the bourgeoisie. They break strikes and carry out evictions.[1] In the white supremacist United States, police in Black communities act like an occupying army,[2] and Black people are 2.5 times as likely to be killed by police as white people.[3] U.S. police also work with far-right groups such as the Oath Keepers, Project Veritas, and Traditionalist Worker Party.[4]
