Despicable behavior by cop in Elk Grove CA. She pulled over a Black teen for a simple traffic violation & refused to hand him the ticket, even calling for backup while he was complying with her demands. Cops need to DE-ESCALATE situations & treat POC with respect we all deserve!

I raise my voice in fervent opposition to the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast's scandalous offer of an award to Attorney General Barr for his "exemplary Christlike" behavior. I urge the group to immediately rescind their inivtation, and I urge anyone reading this to join me.

I’m not saying that rehabilitation isn’t crucial. I’m saying that the survivor must always set the pace in the restorative process.
Disregarding this, will inadvertently harm the survivor more than they have already endured.

The story of what happened the night Breonna Taylor was killed remains largely untold. But a clearer picture of her life and death emerged from interviews with public officials and people who knew her, as well as a review of 1,500+ pages of police records. https://t.co/2ZcsvnspYT

There is nothing “pro-life” about the death penalty.

A black person shouldn’t have to be perfect or extraordinary or a college grad or a parent in order to explain why they deserved to not be shot by a police officer. This is a simple concept.

On this day in 1930, a white mob lynched two Black teenagers in Marion, Indiana. Though the lynching was photographed, no one was ever convicted for the killings. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. Share this #racialinjustice https://t.co/LUMKXKcVM4

.@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”

@realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.”

Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”
