6. Fighting poverty is the only solution.

People of color are more likely to be poor. Poor people are more likely to fall into the criminal justice system abyss. People in the system are more likely to have intersctions with police, thus more likely to have negative intersctions.

If we fix poverty, we fix the much bigger problem of violent crime within our communities of color at the same time as we fix police violence.

There is a huge disparity between black and white murder victims. It's heartbreaking.
