Abstract
This chapter connects the dots between two important movements that both gained momentum during the racial justice uprising of 2020: calls to defund the police and demands to end the United States’ endless wars abroad. The chapter examines how techniques, weapons, and personnel circulate between wars abroad and militarized policing at home. On this basis, the chapter develops an argument that dismantling the structures of racist policing at home will require recognizing the continuum of security state violence that connects domestic policing, border enforcement, and America’s ever-expanding military footprint abroad. In short, defunding the police will require a transformative vision for the sprawling security state, one that disrupts practices of racialized violence and advances a vision of racial justice at home and abroad.
