They persist in using tactics of extrajudicial killing, excessive force, racial profiling, and repression of social justice movements. Such tactics have been condemned by international human rights organizations for violating the human rights of Palestinians. These tactics further militarize U.S. police forces that train in Israel, and this training helps the police terrorize Black and Brown communities here in the US. Additionally, such practices erode our constitutional rights to due process, freedom of speech, and freedom of assembly.  Durham officials -- including former Chief Lopez and current Chief Davis -- have participated in these racist police exchange programs. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/demilitarize-from-durham2palestine
