Drastically reducing police interactions is vital to public safety.
Don't let copaganda fool you – police violence is not tied to their safety.
The vast majority of police killings actually start with officers responding to a suspected non-violent situation or a case where no crime has been reported.

A cop shot a person three times point blank and instead of the streets being deserted. They filled with people yelling at the cops [who could have shot them too].

Look at the hundreds of people in that community in Minneapolis who ran TOWARDS the danger. Look at those who documented in their heads what happened so they could accurately recount it afterwards, look at those currently out protesting. Pay attention & do your part too.

Human brains feed off of negativity. Negative thoughts are easily digested and play in a loop in your mind all of the time. The reality, however, is that there is also A LOT OF GOOD happening every single minute. You have to do more work to pay attention to the good but it's worth it.

I hope that folks have learned enough to know that the Nazis are going to kick into high gear with their propaganda.
