The Police and the Occupy Movement: An Interview With Kristian Williams

Click here to access the interview conducted by Collin Harris. [This is a must-read article for all activists]

It is quite rare that I run across an article that provides significant original thoughts on activist issues, and by doing so, advances the activist movement. This one definitely does that. Kristian William's views on the vital subject of relations with the enforcers of the One Percent (cops and military) is clearly based on a lot of research into a broad reach of history which is informed by a social justice perspective. This interview has inspired me to read his two books: Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America and American Methods: Torture and the Logic of Domination.
