Abolishing Racist Policing With the Thirteenth Amendment Brandon Hasbrouck This Essay was also published in the UCLA Law Review's online publication, Discourse. ABSTRACT Policing in America has always been about controlling the Black body. Indeed, modern policing was birthed and nurtured by white supremacy; its roots are found in slavery. Policing today continues to protect and serve the racial hierarchy blessed by the Constitution itself. But a string of U.S. Supreme Court rulings involving the Thirteenth Amendment offers Congress a tool with which to target institutions that have preserved social, political, and official norms associated with slavery. In those cases, the Supreme Court held that Congress has broad enforcement authority under the Thirteenth Amendment to eliminate such "badges and incidents" of slavery.

    Please do not quote or cite without permission of the author Randi Lynn Tanglen Forthcoming in Reading Confederate Monuments, Ed. Maria Seger, University Press of Mississippi (2021) Teaching Confederate Monuments as American Literature For twelve years I taught at a small college in a small Texas town that houses the first Confederate monument erected in the state. The 1896 monument in Sherman, Texas looms large over the majority white community’s county courthouse, emphasizing the pedagogical aim of Confederate monuments when they were initially constructed: “The most visible symbols of Confederate culture [were] monuments and flags, both of which were considered important to the edification of southern youth. [T]he majority of monuments erected to the Confederacy were placed in public settings such as courthouse lawns or town squares, where, it was reasoned, they could be observed by children.”1 But the purpose of the monuments was not only to indoctrinate white children to their own racial supremacy but also to instill a pedagogy of racial intimidation in Black citizens. It is well documented that most Confederate monuments, like the one in Sherman, were erected decades after the Civil War when Southern states were disassembling the rights and freedoms Black Americans had gained during Reconstruction; Confederate soldier monuments personified racial terror by celebrating the Confederate causes of slavery and white supremacy. As essays in this volume detail, well before and certainly in the aftermath of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests

THREE QUESTIONS ABOUT “STAND YOUR GROUND” LAWS Cynthia V. Ward* In August 2019, Michael Drejka was convicted of manslaughter after a Florida jury rejected his argument that he killed the victim, Markeis McGlockton, in self- defense.1 In the national media, the case was widely billed as a test of Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” statutes.2 That description is (at least) extremely misleading. Despite widespread claims to the contrary, the case was not a “test of ‘Stand Your Ground.’”3 Drejka’s self-defense claim did not require police, prosecutors, or the jury to accept the defendant’s (alleged) subjective belief that he was in mortal danger at the time he killed McGlockton; in fact, the case did not involve a Stand Your Ground defense at all. The Drejka trial did remind many of George Zimmerman’s shooting of Trayvon Martin in 2012—another case which triggered a nationwide debate about Stand Your Ground laws, although the defendant, Zimmerman, (1) did not ask for a Stand Your Ground immunity hearing before trial, (2) did not argue Stand Your Ground as a defense at trial, and (3) was acquitted based on a straight self-defense argument, that when Zimmerman shot Martin he reasonably believed that using deadly force was necessary to prevent his own death or grave bodily © 2020 Cynthia V.
