"We need accountability, and not that type where we rely on police officers to account for their own wrongs. The type that forces our criminal justice system to uphold and obey the law without snatching away peoples right to life and liberty. (6/7)"Read on Twitter

"Also true and more nefarious, is the fact that according to FBI data, white nationalists sympathizers have infiltrated police departments all across the country. They continue to persecute people like me and are protected by a badge and uniform. (5/7)"Read on Twitter
"From beginning to end, the entire criminal justice system keeps rich, often white, people employed and making money. Our failure to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act says Black lives are not more important than the billion dollar policing and prison industry. (4/7)"Read on Twitter
"Our failure to act is a signal to bad actors in law enforcement that murdering Black people is okay. There are too many police officers, lawyers, prosecutors, and judges in our criminal justice system who support a system that lacks accountability. (3/7)"Read on Twitter
