Really? Tommy Le's murder didn't illuminate these problems for you? Our leaders should understand these issues are real here at home and require bold action. Now.

We can, and should, hope that the jury verdict today will mark a shift – a break in a system poisoned by racism. The outcome of this trial illuminates for us all the importance of standing up against racism and bias, in policing and the entire system. #ChauvinTrial

Communities plagued by police violence and brutality didn’t need anything ‘illuminated’ for us today. John T. Williams, Charleena Lyles, and countless others have been murdered right here in MLK County. It's past time for us to hope for change. We need action.

It’s naive to think one verdict fixes an unjust system. Our communities know better. Our leaders should too.

Nothin' like dinging someone who is agreeing with you. May not have used the exact words you would use, but the message is the same.
