@wsoctv The interior glass of my oven spontaneously shattered while cooking and the GE repair guy says it happens. It’s not a defect. It’s happened so frequently that the part is on back order. Not acceptable.

Excited to file for a 5th term as district court judge, serving the community as chief with vision, compassion and innovation. #chief_judge_trosch#womemwholead#ncpol

The most serious consequence of the rapid militarization of American police forces, however, is the subtle evolution in the mentality of the "men in blue" from "peace officer" to soldier. https://t.co/GDhASVgFyq @RSI

NEW: Cops and union officials have been predicting a crime wave as cities reduce low-level arrests and release the jailed to slow the spread of #COVID19.

But in Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles and San Francisco, data show big drops in crime reports. https://t.co/SwJBPj1hjU

Mecklenburg County is excited to receive ongoing funding from #MacFound to build on criminal justice reform.

[Safety and Justice @safety_justice]

SJC has awarded new funding from
@macfound to these 5 counties. They're proving that it’s possible to transform local justice systems. We look forward to seeing them continue to advance local #CJreform, safely reduce jail populations & eliminate racial disparities. #RethinkJails

Humbled & honored to have the confidence of my colleagues and NC Chief Justice to lead Mecklenburg District Court as Chief Judge. I will work to ensure that all people are treated with dignity and fairness. My gratitude for the support and help I have received is boundless.

Transformed. The Peace and Justice Memorial to the over 4,400 African-American men, women and children murdered after emancipation in terror lynchings across the south forced me to confront the legacy of fear and subordination permeating the criminal justice system.

A public health approach to violence gets results by targeting structural conditions with compassion. https://t.co/Mbe1cUvRxC

Those of us in the work of reducing violence know that prisons have precisely the features that GENERATE violence. That is why they will never keep us safe.

My new oped: We say we care about human dignity and rehabilitation andpublic safety. But our actions show a different reality. As a result, the US incarceration system produces little benefit to either those caught within the system or those forced to pay for it @dcexaminer @rsi

It’s official! I’m running unopposed for my 4th term as District Court Judge in 2020!

Bail reform in NJ shoes we can have fairness and safety.

[Arnold Ventures @Arnold_Ventures]

The pretrial system should not discriminate based on ability to pay. New Jersey’s cash bail overhaul represents a success story in overcoming opposition to implement effective and just practices. Read more: https://t.co/OxiacAyZkl #bailreform #cjreform

People shouldn’t lose jobs, homes and families just because they are too poor to pay bail.

@nhannahjones @cjaxone @OneworldBooks It’s time to change the narratives about our racial history. #1619Project is giving us the tools to do just that.
