    "A Black woman having a baby in America is like a Black man in a traffic stop." It's that lethal. A stunning reality lifted up in the phenomenal documentary, "Aftershock," screening now at Sundance. See it if you can. Heartbreaking. Infuriating.

    2021 was one of the deadliest years for police violence in recent history, and we don't even know who most of the killers were. This report breaks down how these killings happened and why it's so important to change policing in this country:

    Police departments are spending public funds to send cops to a "training" conference featuring Tomi Lahren, Dave "Cops have the best sex of their lives after they kill people" Grossman, some UFC guy, and some other cops fired for misconduct.

    The white establishment maintains a vice-like grip over the political autonomy of Black ppl. SCOTUS has several far right judges. 2 were rammed thru against traditional procedure, 1 w/o a full vetting, 1 on a campaign against voting rights. But now they demand a “moderate” BW.

    Domestic incidents *can be* highly dangerous for police officers - but the same is true of any incident they respond to. But if you look at the denominator, they’re actually *less* likely to result in officer injuries or deaths.

    Important 🧵. Those who cynically oppose justice reform cherry pick examples of correlations between a reform being enacted and some single salient crime occurring. But in Boston violent crimes in aggregate plummeted after reform and a rigorous study suggests it was *causal.

    Black female prosecutors have an outsized impact on whether police officers are charged after deadly shootings despite holding only 1% of elected prosecutor roles nationwide, data by Mapping Police Violence show.

    We also looked at Utah’s mental health problems and learned more than 40% of police shootings between 2010-2020 involved someone who was in mental crisis. Some thought our numbers were probably an undercount

    Legacy admissions are the largest form of affirmative action across America’s most competitive universities. Arguments and lawsuits alleging unfair preferences in admissions that ignore legacy admissions are ignorant at best, racist at worst.

    The solution is to stop police violence. To “pull back” further on policing and establish meaningful accountability mechanisms/deterrents to prevent the catastrophe of police violence from recurring. Otherwise it’s a vicious cycle of violence in and against communities.

    If police “pulling back” was the problem, we’d see similar crime increases when police do the same thing in other contexts (labor disputes, etc). We don’t. Because it’s not about “pulling back” it’s about the proven fact police violence damages the health of entire communities.

    Someone explain to me how schools admitting white legacy students because their parents & grandparents were admitted during Jim Crow & antebellum America is not a modern day perpetuation of Jim Crow white supremacy?
