Policing in the Black community looks an awful lot like an occupying army.

Police are militarized and trigger ready at every traffic stop, when exactly SIX cops were shot in 2019 in a traffic stop.

They police on myths and really don't solve al that many murders or robberies.

ReImagine Public Safety Services to improve policing is a better slogan than defund the police. But the military preparedness and Army to Police Force conduit needs to stop. MPs might be well trained for policing, but the average soldier is not.
