@DrPhilGoff @RepKatiePorter 1) 2 extraordinarily important thinkers, who also know how to implement: @DrPhilGoff (Prof at @Yale & founder/head of @PolicingEquity) & @RepKatiePorter. In the decade since we last redistricted US Congress, police have killed at least 1 person in every one of the 435 districts
@DrPhilGoff @RepKatiePorter @Yale @PolicingEquity 2) We've lost political will to legislate national protections against violent racism: "The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act—which would ban chokeholds, restrict the use of no-knock warrants & make some officers personally liable in civil court-remains stalled in the Senate"
@DrPhilGoff @RepKatiePorter @Yale @PolicingEquity 3)The #EmmettTill "Anti-lynching legislation (the 14-year-old Black boy whose horrific 1955 murder roused America’s racial consciousness), still isn't law...cynicism about Congress’s willingness&ability to solve an issue like police violence is not only fashionable but rational"
