DESCRIPTION:Come to our book reading \nand neighborhood discussion\nIt will be a 
 discussion about our political world and current events.\nMay 17th at 7 
 pm,\nat the South Berkeley Senior Center, 2939 Ellis St. Berkeley\n\nand of 
 how that relates to my book,\n\n“Police Brutality”\nby Steve 
 Martinot\n\nbring your experience, your stories, and your friends.\nand I 
 will give some reading from the book \n\n        There are three structures 
 of policing in the US today. \n1-	Their brutality, as they permit it for 
 themselves. \n2-	Their militarization, and their commanding officer 
 paradigm; \n3-	The grammar of race; “race” not as a noun but as a 
 verb\n\nBrutality --  means treating people like things, exercising 
 dehumanizing violence \nMilitarization -- means assuming a total commanding 
 position and using military technology, \n      Race -- refers to what some 
 people (white people) do to others, militarily and with brutality \n\nAll 
 together, this gives us a description of US police culture today\n\nHow 
 does this relate to the world? \nPolice use of dehumanizing violence 
 (brutality) runs parallel to\ninternational violence (war), as the US now 
 governs its world.\nThe police gained the use of violence by oppressing the 
 working classes,\nAnd the US transformed (racialized) it through 
 enslavement and Jim Crow\nThis ultimately gave the police greater power 
 than their City Councils\nThey started killing in the streets.\nAt a rate 
 of 1200 a year.\n\nMay 17th at 7 pm,\nat the South Berkeley Senior Center, 
 2939 Ellis St. Berkeley\n\nSteve Martinot           PO Box 11842, Berkeley
