There's never been a more important time for law enforcement agencies to embrace a culture of bystandership. Great to see our @GeorgetownABLE project getting the recognition it deserves! https://t.co/c67PfXHzKm

“All we do is we give them a PowerPoint and we say, ‘Thou shall intervene,’ as though it's easy. And we've never, ever taught the skills of intervention.” https://t.co/4OxznKU7FC

“What we talk about with officers is rethinking what loyalty looks like – shifting that perspective from blind loyalty…to a more constructive loyalty that says I hold you to a higher standard, the communities that we serve hold us to a higher standard." https://t.co/8igIVuxKkk
