It’s this passage....Millions of Americans have now seen @WhenTheySeeUs in which 16 year old #KoreyWise is convicted of a crime he did not commit & sent to adult jail. You know we have a criminal justice system that does not forgive Black & Brown boys. nyti.ms/2KmbjCj 
Boys whose family & life circumstances have left them in tough spots making decisions too weighty for their minds & souls.They are not forgiven. I know you know this @nytdavidbrooks.Could you have spared ink to acknowledge them in your defense of this young man’s moral journey?
How can this, whatever your view, result in a full-on debate from writers in the pages of our most influential papers, w/o the need to acknowledge the devastating reality of lives stolen & shattered by a society that denies childhood to so many Black children.
“You got i.d.?” It can be just that simple. #WhenTheySeeUs
Today, where are every one of the NYPD officers who interrogated those boys? Did they go on to supervise and train other officers? Are they still on the force? Did they retire w/full pensions? #WhenTheySeeUs
At the police station. Hearing a 14 year-old child say to his father, “I got this,” and “I made a deal,” while shackled to a chair. Children. Alone. Under this pressure. #WhenTheySeeUs
