Sitting down to read my 1st piece ever. Feeling grateful to @car1ygoodman, @brianros1, and @madebyhistory @washingtonpost. It was impactful and hard to write on the history of police violence through tactics like chokeholds. #GeorgeFloyd #DefundThePolice

washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0… "Giving more funding and training to police varies the violence that disproportionately impacts Black communities. The problem is not the specific tactic deployed in a given case, i.e. the gun, chokehold or Taser. It is the anti-Black bias embedded in police stops...and arrests."
