Jul 2024

I'm white, and i have listened, read, seen some videos Pre-George Floyd about police aggresiveness, and violence towards Black people for decades, including infamous cases here in NYC.

I seriously empathize with the anguish of BLM, and trying to change policy. Bring bad police individuals to justice, and eliminating racist perceptions that translate into bad policing practices.
The slog to equality continues!

I wouldn't know if some small amount cases that KH in California dealt with were erroneous.
Otoh - she has certainly spoke of Voting Rights/Freedom pre this change in her status, and recently adding Project 2025 - so she has serious commitments to these issues.

I was saddened to see Biden drop out. And I really like KH, and will enthusiastically campaign for her, as well as against drumphf.
