Wholesale Heal (Heel) Community (Poster)

Community members: We just want the community to heal! \n \nCommunity policing: We just want the community to heel! \n \n"Community policing" is a strategy born out of military counterinsurgency tactics meant to legitimize systemic racism and violence in policing, by pairing friendly faces and selected neighborhood initiatives with information gathering/surveillance, SWAT teams and the pursuit of very minor infractions. \n \nIn this cartoon-style image, a person wearing a "Black Lives Matter" shirt and an "officer friendly" carrying a leash illustrate two different outlooks on the idea of community.
