It’s not our role to have a position on the grand jury’s decision but we can say this with total conviction: James Scurlock should be alive today. The grand jury’s decision means there will be due process. This case will get the deliberation it deserves.pic.twitter.com/w6Cycb9knb
Even as we all focus on the grand jury’s indictment, we have to remember that it only happened because the community said enough is enough. Real harm could have been prevented if prosecutors had given this case the initial deliberation it deserved.
That’s why we’ve been working with groups who are calling for more accountability, transparency and equity in this case and every case. We must make progress on all of those fronts. You can’t separate this from the disparities across the criminal justice system.
We’ve been clear on our position that the decision on what justice looks like belongs to James’ loved ones. They’re who needs to be centered and heard right now. We hope they are truly heard.
From our lane, we’ll keep working with partners and community leaders to advance racial justice wherever we can, working to achieve transformational change. We’ll honor James’ memory by remembering what he was protesting for, by hearing his call for justice.
