Socialist Republicans Condemn PSNI Plan To Recruit From Schools

Socialist Republican group Lasair Dhearg has condemned the PSNI’s new “action plan” which seeks to “widen representation of the force” and recruit in secondary schools, exposing it as a tactic of normalisation and brainwashing.

“We appeal to schools to not put the children they care for at risk by letting armed gunmen of a force who have forcibly strip searched children or PSNI action plans into their facilities, “ the statement read, adding that “it is only in a 32 County Socialist Republic that there will be a Police Service that will defend the interests of the people against those that try to exploit them”. 

The PSNI, a rebrand of the RUC, has reportedly spent more than 200 million pounds on their recruitment campaigns. The force has been widely criticised for two-tier policing, as they target Catholic communities while turning a blind eye to loyalist violence. The northern Irish statelet maintains a two-pronged policing approach, through the official law enforcement body’s collusion with loyalist paramilitaries, while instilling ethnic siege anxiety in Protestant communities. 

Socialist republican organizations are keeping a close eye on the force, shutting down their events at secondary schools, redecorating their posters and thwarting their imperialist presence in the occupied 6 counties.
