“I believe [Derek Chauvin] was staring at each and every one of us…because he believed that nothing would happen to him…and that expression, that snapshot, represents failure. It represents failure of the American legal system.”
-@Sifill_LDF
"We are surrounded by, and deep in the clutches of, a failing system that requires our attention."
-LDF President and Director-Counsel @Sifill_LDF
"When the rhetoric seems...frightening or destabilizing...I think we have to realize that the monumental failures require us to dig deep...into how we have allowed this moment to come to be.
...It is time for a new way to think about public safety."
-@Sifill_LDF
"We need to end #qualifiedimmunity. We need the #GeorgeFloyd Justice in Policing Act...we need to get serious about not providing federal funds to police departments that engage in discrimination...There is a superstructure that is important."
-@Sifill_LDF
"If we're going to seriously talk about defunding [the police]...then we should be talking about how can we build within communities the structures to be able to address these kinds of issues."
-@Sifill_LDF
“One of the ways we give that [community] voice respect is not only by listening to it, but by allocating resources to support it.”
-LDF President and Director-Counsel @Sifill_LDF
