In 2011 I was violently pinned down by three police officers. While putting the handcuffs on me, the officer doing so jacked my right arm up SO HARD that my right shoulder STILL hurts when I move it a certain way. I am very passionate about this.

I completely understand that not all cops are bad. I’ve had amazing experiences with a bunch of police officers. But you cannot deny that there are a bunch of bad eggs in the bunch; And giving a bad egg a position of power has been proven time and time again to be dangerous.

Paired with institutionalized racism; People of color are often targeted, arrested, abused and killed by the bad eggs we let seap through the cracks.

Why does it take so much for us to get justice?

Peaceful protest didn’t work; The president threatened to kill more.
