While we await the results of the investigation, we cannot wait for our leaders to act. We need to rein in the use of force and consistently hold the police accountable to ensure that not another person is needlessly injured or killed by law enforcement.

I join
@GovEvers in standing against the excessive use of force and immediate escalation when engaging with Black Wisconsinites and I thank him for demanding action, accountability, and empathy.Show this thread -
So long as Black men and women can’t breathe, we can’t rest. We will continue to demand justice and universal accountability in policing to bring an end to this epidemic.
