This directly impacts my family and friends, not to mention myself. Our oppressive policing has left a pallor across the state over the past 20+ years.

Honestly, it feels like we are gaining "a freedom"! I know that sounds weird, but calling it a right doesn't have enough emotional punch. Encountering law enforcement around here is frightening...and I'm white!!! I've always believed that accountability is what has been lacking. This "qualified immunity" loophole is what has attracted white supremacists and racists to become law enforcement officers.
