On an average day, I receive several hundred personal emails. Half of them describe some type of personally experienced bigotry, racism, or police brutality.

Each person is asking me to please share their story.

I feel guilty when I don't, but guilty when I do.

I know that sharing so many painful stories of injustice has an accumulative impact on all of us – so I am now more hesitant than ever to share because of that.

When I don't share, though, the people who desperately want their story known are crushed. It's a real dilemma.

URGENT: These @MesaPD Officers need to be arrested & charged immediately.

33 year old Robert Johnson was not just unarmed & non-violent, he never committed a crime. They literally gave him a ticket after knocking him out.

And never mentioned the assault.

One-third of all people killed by strangers in America are killed by police. 97% of the officers are not charged with a crime, 99% are not convicted. Even in the most egregious cases the system refuses to hold police accountable: https://t.co/1lpFvmDp4C

A Eugene cop threw down & punched a handcuffed DUII suspect. He was fired, but still can be a cop. Cops in Oregon can stay eligible to carry a gun & badge even after being fired for chronically inept police work. This is Not OK. https://t.co/5QneVjAUWe @rwoolington @carlibrosseau
