Research has shown that women make up less than 13% of full-time police officers and only 5.6% of command positions.

This should not be the American way to respond to a mental health crisis.

We need police reform.

A Pennsylvania man who shot and killed a police officer last week was arrested in April for assaulting the Pittsburgh Public Schools police chief after being banned from his child’s school for being dangerous. Pennsylvania does not have a red flag. #paleg https://t.co/E1yt4vwjJU

His name is Jayland Walker.
He was 25. He was unarmed. He was murdered.

90 bullets for an alleged traffic violation.

We are not a free nation while Black people continue to experience racially motivated police terrorism. #PoliceViolence is #GunViolence

On July 16th, "988" will become the three-digit hotline for mental health emergencies in the United States.

But the change will be a missed opportunity if states can't clear significant hurdles, say RAND's @ryankmcbain and Stephanie Brooks Holliday. https://t.co/izrWCmR55j
