I’m not saying security isn’t necessary, especially when there are real threats like physical assaults, but I also believe violence and force are the lowest forms of communication. Too often we ask, “How do we stop the crackheads, shoplifters, alcoholics?” when the better question is, “What systems allowed or even encouraged this behavior?” Other people aren’t the enemy. The real fight is against the systems of injustice that shape their lives and ours.
