On Halloween 2016, we invited submissions for Issue Three of Hostis, titled “Fuck the Police.” Rather than beg for forgiveness, let’s just chalk it up to shit getting in the way. The recent George Floyd uprising has lit a fire under our feet, and we hope it will finally come to fruition.

To everyone, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers.

Greetings wherever you find yourself and at whatever time of the day that you read this.

Today, four years after the vile murder of our friend Chava, our pain and rage has only increased. We see that the dignity of our assassinated social fighters, and those who remain standing, rests in the hands of those that day in and day out continue the struggle–the struggle that few want to understand and that many prefer to avoid.

Attack on Nea Ionia Police Station

From AMW

Responsibility Claim by George Floyd Revenge Unit:

How amazing is a perfect rendezvous? Somehow finding oneself, through luck, persistence, diligence, history, blind will, in the company of comrades. Then to find oneself in the grand plan of these people, then in the particular plan of a daring action. A leap into the unknown. To be in one moment, perfectly, together. Then to escape into the night, for another day of living, fighting, and making our own history.

Justice for George Floyd

From Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group

The United States is aflame with rage over the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis on 25 May. A cop who had arrested him over a minor crime knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes, killing him. Starting in Minneapolis, demonstrations have spread nationwide, often linking up with local grievances against police violence and racism.

Welcome to the Frontlines: Beyond Violence and Nonviolence

Welcome to the Frontlines: Beyond Violence and Nonviolence

From Chuang

Over the past two weeks, the US has seen some of the largest, most militant protests and riots in decades. The now nationwide movement began in Minneapolis following the police murder of George Floyd. The anger that followed led to mass demonstrations, confrontations with the police, arson and looting, mourning and rebellion that spread across the country within a matter of hours. The Minneapolis Third Precinct station house, where the murderers had worked, was burned to the ground, and police cars were set aflame from New York to LA in the most widespread damage to the punitive edifices of the US state seen in this century, fueled by decades of anger at racist policing and the ceaseless stream of police murders of Black people. Now, even the reform-oriented electoral left is seriously discussing a softened version of police abolition on a national level, re-imagined as “defunding,” and the Minneapolis City Council has pledged to “disband” the city’s police department. Not long ago, such a demand would have been considered utopian.
