    Abstract:
    The police cannot be reformed. What is immediately striking about popular strategies to respond to police violence—for example, the proposal to defund the police and those that advocate for community control of the police—is how inadequately they confront what looms as the most definitive feature of the police: namely, its role as a counterinsurgency force.
