Ten years ago, a police officer shot and killed Philando Castile, a 37-year-old Black man, during a traffic stop, as he reached for his license and registration 💔
I was called to the jury pool for this, and had to excused the first day because they said it would be 2-3 months of unpaid full time labor, and I would end up homeless if I did that.
The only people who can serve on juries have non-essential corporate jobs or are retirees.
