I keep thinking about that data showing white people support BLM less now than we did before the murder of George Floyd. So many white folks are comfortable saying Black Lives Matter, but uncomfortable with anything actually changing.

The FBI previously investigated a Georgia doctor accused of performing unnecessary gynecological procedures on women detained at an ICE center.

Border patrol complaining now they have to treat migrants with some dignity & respect.

The acting BP chief “objected to a new directive to stop using the term ‘alien’ when referring to migrants, saying it would hurt agents’ morale.”

We must break the regime of impunity that protects law enforcement officers from consequences.

Can the ofcrs be sued civilly for damages? Sure.Then they’ll raise the defense of qualified immunity. That’s why the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act would end qualified immunity for law enforcement ofcrs, which would give families the chance to hold these ofcrs accountable.

Let’s say these ofcrs are fired now that this video has been released. Should they be permitted to join the force of another law enforcement agency in another town? No. That’s why the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act would create a national police misconduct database.
