      LP members @jeremiah4north & @JumaaneWilliams speak at the CBC forum on police accountability. "For years we've poured incredible amounts of money into the police department for reforms - but what we've gotten in return is distrust, destruction, and death."-JEpic.twitter.com/j3QoZuX0YX

      "For those who want to maintain law & order: the murder of George Floyd was disorder... We need something better," says @jeremiah4north "In #Minneapolis, we're looking to start anew. We're asking ourselves if the police are the right mechanism to create safety in our city."pic.twitter.com/83F2HSa7je

          "We're not trying to fix a system. The system is operating how it was designed to operate. What we need to do is put an entirely different system down," says @JumaaneWilliams. "Too often public safety is equated with policing."pic.twitter.com/cxqiadig85

          When we talk about reimagining public safety, we're not starting from scratch. "We have some answers already. We dont fund them. We have a gang violence intervention program.. We have a co-responder program that does a better job engaging in mental health crises" @jeremiah4northpic.twitter.com/z4LIEpkMG3

          Psychological tests should be mandated in every police department. The Navy tests those applying for submarine duty. Test police applicants and yes, pay them better.

          Actually, every citizen should have the right to protect themselves. As we have witnessed, the police are handcuffed by local and state politicians.
