Most Americans don't understand how works axios.com/2023/02/03/most-amer "The majority of Americans (57%) support a ban on the sale of all products and even more support blocking sales of [favored by Black people] (62%), a CDC study ... found." Not mentioned: how much more policing and jail capacity would be needed to enforce it. Americans have forgotten how cops killed for selling loose cigarettes.

i can guarantee ANY conversation about will include more than 1 comment asking "why didn't he comply?" Or "was he on drugs?" or other statement made after deaths of . & those who would ask that lack basic humanity to picture themselves in that situation. If a cop yanked you out of your car & you hadn't done anything, you don't think you would ask "why?" & not immediately lay on the ground?

If there was only one thing I could leave behind, it would be the changed perspective, the deeper self-awareness, the cognitive-diss filters removed, that happens after years of looking at the US from outside, to my fellow Americans.

Fix it. Now.

De Blasio's former staffers just knocked it out of the park with this call for solid first-step reforms and actions. They're definitely not abolitionists, but if he can't even meet these demands it will show the type of person he is (or, maybe, the threat of violence he and his family is facing from the cops?).
