The ship may have sailed, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t push back against further abuses of power. It’s easy to give more power to them, but much harder to remove it.

We've been trying to push back on cops murdering black people for like 6 months now. The ones with the monopoly on violence aren't really interested.
