It's likely that there are abolitionists organizing near you! Go forth and find them, join them, learn together, fight together. Let your anger, your sorrow, your fear inspire action, inspire connection.
This work has been ongoing for ages, and continues in times when mainstream attention is hyper-focued (another police murder), and times when the popular discourse has moved on (or been buried / de-fanged / co-opted).
This work, in all its million manifestations, in all its million local projects, is a long struggle. But also, the time to join is urgently, unequivocally, now!

This is such an important point made in this clip. All of the reforms were there, the body cam, the training, the dash cams, the pole camera. Yet none of it mattered. How can you say we need more training, or more cops? 50% of my city's budget goes to cops. When is it enough? #TyreNichols #defundthepolce #policebrutality

I have watched the footage. All of it.
My advice is don't watch it. Don't watch it. Know that this happens and it's ugly and terrible and unjust. Just know that this happens and it has to stop.
If you are of a compromised mental state, if you are not ready to see someone be beaten to death, don't watch it. If you are a decent human being, don't watch it. It both shouldn't have happened and shouldn't be seen. Please. I beg you.
