Hoo-boy, that is a tough one!  First off, let’s talk about how to talk to your cop fam.  They’re not real likely to listen to you argue with them or accept your challenge to a debate.  So like we’ve said before, you should maybe focus on asking open-ended questions, looking for the root of their concerns, and try to unite on shared values. 

We wrote about this a bit more extensively a few weeks back when giving another Anon advice about speaking to their QAnon-brainwashed parents, so please have a look at that.

Other things we feel should be pointed out: the movement is called antiFA because it’s short for anti-FASCIST.  It’s not called antifCO and it’s not anti-cop per se.  Stay with us here as we explain:

Anti-fascism is a broad-based movement of people from all sorts of different backgrounds with all sorts of different and sometimes conflicting political viewpoints and ideologies, united solely by one thing: are hatred for bigotry and fascism and our commitment to taking action against bigotry and fascism.  This means that there are some antifa who are not at all anti-cop; there are antifa who are definitely pro-cop/law & order types; and there are probably even a few antifa cops if you ask around.

But (and you know there was going to be a “but,” didn’t you, Anon?): what are the police, including the police in your family, doing to separate themselves from outright fascists, bigots, and white supremacists?

Because the history of policing is rooted in perpetuating slavery and bigotry through violence.

Because there have been far too many examples of police either being active members of white supremacist terror groups or aiding & abetting groups like the KKK to slaughter people in the streets.

Because the police routinely do everything they can to protect and defend white supremacists by attacking their opponents.  Like they did in Portland yesterday.  Or in LA:   

Because the police have very plainly made it clear that they are violently opposed to anti-fascism and in support of fascists.  Here’s a partial list of attacks by police on anti-fascists from about 2015-2018 for example. 

Because we all have seen more than enough examples of police routinely harassing, assaulting, and killing black people.  All the data shows that black people are more likely to be mistreated, harmed, or killed by police. And when people begin a protest movement to address this, the police respond in the most violent manner possible, killing at least one protestor so far and severely injuring if not nearly killing several others. 

In the light of all of that, how could anyone opposed to bigotry and fascism not see the police as the most dangerous, violent organization of fascist-supporting racists in society? 

More personally for your family: what are they doing in their professional lives as police to address the violent racist abuse that proliferates police culture?  We know that 84% of police have seen their fellow cops use excessive force and that 61% of cops wouldn’t turn in a fellow cop who they knew had committed a serious crime.  We also know what happens to cops who try to hold other cops accountable.  So we don’t expect that they would do very much besides try to explain away or justify any racist abuse that is UNDOUBTEDLY going on in whatever police force they work for.

So good luck we guess, Anon?  Who knows, maybe you’ll be able to convince your family to quit and find honest work that helps your community!

“Fascism is capitalism plus murder.” - Upton Sinclair

“Repression by brute force is always a confession of the inability to make use of the better weapons of the intellect — better because they alone give promise of final success. This is the fundamental error from which Fascism suffers and which will ultimately cause its downfall…that its foreign policy, based as it is on the avowed principle of force in international relations, cannot fail to give rise to an endless series of wars that must destroy all of modern civilization requires no further discussion. To maintain and further raise our present level of economic development, peace among nations must be assured. But they cannot live together in peace if the basic tenet of the ideology by which they are governed is the belief that one’s own nation can secure its place in the community of nations by force alone. ” - Ludwig von Mises,  Liberalism: A Socio-Economic Exposition (1927).

“Spent most of the day reading fascisti leaflets. They certainly have turned the whole country into an army. From cradle to grave one is cast in the mould of fascismo and there can be no escape … It is certainly a socialist experiment in that it destroys individuality. It destroys liberty.” -  Harold Nicolson, The Harold Nicolson Diaries : 1919-1964 (2004).

“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt

“A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends….If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings, then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States.” - Henry A. Wallace

“Fascism is the cult of organised murder, invented by the arch-enemies of society. It tends to destroy civilization and revert man to his most barbarous state. Mussolini and Hitler might well be called the devils of an age, for they are playing hell with civilization.” - Marcus Garvey,  Authors take Sides on the Spanish War, 1937.
