Organizer Jessica Disu Schools ‘Kelly File’ Viewers On Police Abolition
It takes a lot of courage for a young Black woman to speak up in the midst of racist people. Yet, that is exactly Jessica Disu, an activist, community organizer, and artist from Chicago did on Monday’s airing of Kelly File on Fox News.
In the clip, Disu says outright, “We need to abolish police. Period.” This was after being interrupted several times by other audience members who disagreed with her stance. She went on to explain that police forces in communities around the country need to be de-militarized and disbanded. Audience members then let out audible groans in response.
Megyn Kelly then asks her, “Who is going to protect the community if we abolish the police?” Disu responds, “We need to come up with community solutions. The police began as slave patrol.”
What is so interesting about the footage is the complete disregard and disrespect for this young woman who lives and organizes in a city so often stereotyped and mis-identified by affluent people seeking to criminalize Blackness. That her voice was ignored among Fox News audience members is not surprising. However, it does underscore that people outside of these communities believe the only way to address people of color is through more policing.
What is probably the worst consequence of dialogues like this is that it never really seems like White people showed up to find real solutions. More policing hasn’t ever worked. If anything, the hyper-surveillance of communities of color has only exacerbated tensions between communities of color and police forces. Yet, many Whites continue to beat people of color, especially Black folks, over the head with that suggestion.
Disu is dope for even venturing into that space at all let alone opening her mouth and making space for a conversation on police abolition. However, if no one is listening, it is hard to see how we will get anywhere soon where communities of color and policing are concerned.

So Black Lives Matter is an anti-police movement that wants an army of George Zimmermans protecting our country. Great plan.
I couldn’t read past the first sentence of this article…”It takes a lot of courage for a young Black woman to speak up in the midst of racist people”. Jessica Disu was the most racist person in that whole group.
Ms. Jackson. Please stop spreading lies and hatred.

LMAO. Abolish the police. Love it. Ask those 3 Facebook live streamers if they were happy to have the police show up after getting their butts shot today smoking blunts and rapping on FB Live. WOW.
PS. Listen to the lyrics rapping for an extra easter egg. Hilariously ironic that they got shot while spewing garbage.
Jessica Disu and Jenn Jackson seem like a couple of ignorant race hustlers. The police did not start as a slave patrol. But even if they did, and they most assueredly DID NOT, but even if they did that would in no way logically lead to the conclusion, ‘therefore we shouldn’t have police now’. That would be like saying books began as a way to spread religion, so atheists should not read books.
Furthermore, far from ‘white people beating black people over the head with the suggestion of more police’, it is black leaders who, as violence and crack devastated black communities in the 1980s, pleaded for more police. It is black leaders who accused Reagan and Bush of being racist for not cracking down on crack and providing more police. And it is the black members of Congress who voted nearly 70% for the Clinton Crime Bill, with it’s tougher sentences and funding for more police. The fact is that black people are only 25% of those killed by police, which is lower than one would expect given that they commit over half the killings and nearly 40% of all violent crime. And black males between 15 and 29 are the most violent, committing killings at FIFTEEN TIMES the rate of white males aged 15-29.
This is what Martin Luther King said in 1961: “Do you know that Negroes are 10 percent of the population of St. Louis and are responsible for 58% of its crimes? We’ve got to face that. And we’ve got to do something about our moral standards. We know that there are many things wrong in the white world, but there are many things wrong in the black world, too. We can’t keep on blaming the white man.”
This is what Jesse Jackson said in 1993: ‘When I walk down the street and hear footsteps… then turn around and see somebody white I feel relieved.’
Today’s race hustlers need a reality check.
Another example of a black activist that makes up facts, revises history and sounded, as she screamed, like an entitled brat and sees everything through the lens of color. These people solve nothing, ever. But don’t they feel good about themselves, it’s called ego, it’s called attention seeking, it’s called using her color to promote herself, using other black people to promote herself, it’s called disgusting. They are racial dividers, they cause more harm than good. But, when you are as moronic as she is, there is no credibility. She is a joke.
The article’s author is exactly right. Disu is a dope. Who are you going to call when your daughter is raped or kidnapped, your car stolen, your bank robbed? Who are you going to call when there’s an active shooter at a high school? Who are you going to call? Tyrone’s Crack patrol?
The only one dumber than Disu is the author who praised her and claimed she “schooled” anybody. She embarrassed herself on national television.
It’s widely known this woman is a coke head. What a truly moronic statement she made.
Oh the irony
The real shame in this is that the more you point out the flaws in the authors article, the more mental gymnastics she does to prove that everyone else is racist and she is oppressed. Saying anything against her is PROOF of racism because whatever she has to say is the truth and your trying to silence her!
This article is racist.
This is the ‘community solution’ – everybody watches a woman savagely beaten in broad daylight for 20 minutes – http://cw33.com/2016/05/13/video-shows-man-beating-woman-in-street-as-crowd-watches/ [scroll down a little for the video]

Amazing that this article praises this racist girl!
BLM is a racist organization! If you saw an organization named “White Lives Matter” the biased media would be all over that!
“Abolish the police?” Who’s she gonna call when she gets car jacked?
Plenty of black communities are already effectively eliminating the police with “hood justice”. How’s that working out?
