The world misses Obama.

Trump is a hideous disgrace.

This right here is why BLM failed

We had a brief window to implement 8cantwait and they squandered it with messaging about slashing police funding (nevermind that bodycams cost $$$) and having social workers deal with violent criminals

3 years later, this map is depressing

I can't think of a more devastating critique of #8cantwait police 'reforms' than the 'Reimagining Policing' section of the Memphis Police Department website.

#8cantwait !!!!
I try to stay away from the TV news, but woke this morning to hear of Tyre's death. Watching his mama nearly brought me to tears--I cannot imagine!
Once again, our world--our nation--is SO broken.
Can we all have a moment of prayer for Tyre and his mama?

i'm actually going to respectfully push back on this: it wasn't structurelessness that allowed 2020 to be co-opted, but the imposement of liberal structures and 'big' organizations. do y'all remember that 8cantwait bullshit from campaign zero

I feel like not enough people are aware that the original ask in 2020 was 'abolish the police' and within a few weeks had been coopted by the 'defund' push from the nonprofit industrial complex with that 8cantwait shit

The Memphis Police Department claims to have adopted all #8CantWait policies.

They have not.

Scroll through our thread to look at the policies ⬇️

After George Floyd’s death, there was a rational push for something called #8CantWait , 8 measures to reduce unnecessary deaths. But of course, extremist DEFUND THE POLICE won

APD has implemented ALL #8CantWait reforms and yet, police violence increased 8% from 2021 to 2022. Officials have in large part ignored calls for comprehensive reassessments of their disproportionate investment in law enforcement over resources that actually yield safety.
