Aside from so-called “copsuckers,” everyone who visits CopBlock.org recognizes the problem of systemic rights-violations done by individuals who operate by the “serve and protect” delusion. What we see police employees do — from the theft of property to the slaying of thousands — is not a surprise. If we step back from the latest headline […]
Police Reports: A Magical Monopoly on Truth
A police report is used in many daily interactions as a way of verifying information, even when the police have not verified anything in those reports – so what makes a police report the gold standard for truth? This afternoon you returned home from work to find a window opened and a number of […]
Minnesota Police Officers Walk Off Job at WNBA Basketball Game Over T-Shirts
“Police keep us safe!” “Who will protect us if not for the police?” Those are the repetitive cries from CopSuckers alike and at Saturday’s Minnesota Lynx (WNBA) game the police gave us the answer when they walked off the “job.” Why? Because they didn’t like the warm up T-shirts of the home team. According to USATODAY.com: The t-shirts […]
Why Privatization Of Police Is A Necessary Precondition Of Abolition
Over the past several months, CopBlock.org contributor Joshua Hotchkin has written a series of articles asserting that police accountability is futile, privatization is not any solution at all, and that complete abolition should be the proper course of action for those concerned with the police state. Having looked over Josh’s work, I would like to […]
Police Presence in Mexico: Cozumel, Acapulco, Mexico City
Last year my partner (Amanda) and I lived in Mexico for about five months.

Pennsylvania Cops Steal Wine Collection In Mafia Reminiscent Shakedown
During the era of alcohol prohibition the mafia and other such gangs took it upon themselves to regulate the black market for libations of all sorts. While many individuals attempted to make and sell their own illegal ethanol-based products, they were just as often targeted, harassed and either extorted or shaken down by the mafia […]
Why Government Policing Monopolies Can Neither Serve Nor Protect You
In 1920, the great Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises expanded on what is known as the “economic” or “socialist calculation problem” in his work, Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth. Mises describes the nature of the price system under capitalism and describes how individual subjective values are translated into the objective information(prices) necessary for rational […]
“I Bet You Call The Cops As Soon As Anything Goes Wrong”
“I bet you call the cops as soon as anything goes wrong.” I have heard a variation of this accusation more times than you could shake a bloody baton at. It inevitably appears in almost every Facebook comment thread and often those on the site as well. The statement presupposes many things and fails to […]
