When the history is told of how we replaced slavery and Jim Crow with mass incarceration unnecessary and unjustifiable use of force resulting in the disproportionate deaths of black & brown bodies, what side will you stand on? What will your grand children read about you? Are you complicit? Do you just turn a blind eye and focus on business as usual? Do you act as if we’re making it all up & it’s not really that bad?
