Now, obviously, the white supremacist system that enables this shit is the primary issue.
But the fact that there was little-to-no conversation happening around this for months prior to this update is also a big part of why this happened. https://t.co/A4QyvNlxfY

Just a sample of the sad scene we faced at the Trump rally in Tampa. I’m very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt. We should not treat our fellow Americans this way. The press is not the enemy. pic.twitter.com/IhSRw5Ui3R

This is how prosecutors coerce guilty pleas.
1. They request exorbitant bail, knowing the person's inability to pay will lock them up.
2. They stall out the clock, forcing people to plead guilty just to go home.
This is not a bug. This is by design.https://t.co/V1FYNlRDkV
