    For the first time in generations, being "tough on crime" is a political liabilityhttp://bit.ly/2EGy9NG

        What has being "tough on crime" gotten America? More generations of PoC being put in prisons for minor drug offenses and receiving more time than their white counterparts. @burberryant @PattiKimble @PattiTweeting @ShellyRKirchoff @ShaunKing @_AndiLynne @CapaTosta122

        I heard a few weeks ago that Soros is pending big $$ on more progressive DAs/prosecutors. About time.

        I just wonder how we get rid of #CitizensUnited and all other non-public election funding.

        Because, with social media, we have all been awakened to the hypocrisy, dishonesty & criminality in law enforcement at various levels. Being tough on crime is fine, but same rules must apply to everyone, no matter their color, position or wealth, & transparency is critical.

        Unfortunately most Americans don't prioritize any issue that doesn't make them feel they were 100% in the right in the first place. That's without analysis, without facts, and without education of any kind. When in doubt, they simply look away or scream "whattabout."

        Go to any country in the world and the only country you will find a movie "The Walking Dead" is America. Why?
