Titled “1312” (a numerical representation of “ACAB”) the track confronts police brutality worldwide. “This is our demand to see the day when the pigs, the filth, the feds are named without disgust: protectors of the people,” the group said in an accompanying statement. The heavy-hitting song also follows a “Manifesto Against Police Violence” by Pussy Riot and the Chilean feminist collective Lastesis, published on YouTube on May 28. The manifesto is also available to read in a Medium post by the band. On May 31, Pussy Riot members shared photos from the LA protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in police custody on May 25, which closely followed news about the killing of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery and 26-year-old Breonna Taylor, shot in separate incidents. A black transgender man, Tony McDade, was also fatally shot by police on Wednesday, May 27, while protesters in Toronto have responded to the death of a 29-year-old black woman, Regis Korchinski-Paquet, who fell from a balcony while police were in her home.
