    Hundreds of activists and elected officials call on mayors, cops to rein in police power. Here’s how: - defund police, invest in people - build up non-law enforcement responses to crime - halt police militarization - curtail power of police unions

    “No-Knock” and forced entry raids like the one that killed are deadly and unnecessary. They cause injury, death, property damage and often cost taxpayers large sums to clean up the damages in their wake. We must end them!

    Instead of spending $80 billion a year on jails and incarceration, we need to be investing in more jobs and education. One thing is abundantly clear: Every police department violating people's civil rights must be stripped of federal funding. Period.

    The Minneapolis Police Department has proven themselves beyond reform. It’s time to disband them and reimagine public safety in Minneapolis. Thank you to for your leadership on this!

    How? In the middle of national protests against police brutality, Mississippi’s AG dropped charges against a white police officer who murdered a black man during a traffic stop. The officer had racist social media posts. This is NOT justice.

    Breonna Taylor would have turned 27 years old today. She was killed by police officers during a no-knock raid on her home in Louisville, Kentucky almost two months ago. Her killers are still free. We demand justice for Breonna.

    The only solutions to police brutality are to and ! Resources should go to communities not be poured into workshops and MORE resources for police departments abusing their power. ➡️➡️⬅️⬅️

    We need to be VERY clear. Brutal racist police are not a workshop away from respecting Black people. It can't be trained out of them. American police have shown us, time and time again, that they can be calm, cool, and respectful - just with white mass murderers.

    To give you an idea of the bubble of privilege inhabited by a New York Cop, Officer Daniel Pantaleo was making 100k when he murdered Eric Garner. It took five years to fire him, at which point he was making 120k a year. The median household income in Manhattan is $66,739

    If Buffalo police cracking an elderly mans skull on the sidewalk didn’t sicken you enough, here are police in Fairfield CA violating and assaulting a paraplegic man and throwing him to the ground.

    The fact that a month ago many centrist Dems were pushing this guy as some type of new standard bearer for the dem party is just so insulting, yet strikingly on-brand. Yal better get right. Done with this BS

    STOP generically telling us to VOTE in response to all of the police brutality we have right now. Yes we should vote. But we have to be VERY specific. Democrats, from top to bottom, are running the cities with the worst police brutality in America right now. We voted for them.
