One thing I wish all Democrats knew is that we don't expect you to be fearless. We expect you to be brave. Bravery is not the absence of fear. It is being afraid and moving ahead anyway.
If you find that you are neither, then it is time to step aside. There are people who can do this job ably.

The Black mayor of Memphis, the Black mayor of Shelby County, and the Black police chief, were not involved.
