The only justice is change.
The effort to separate the officers who murdered Tyre Nichols from the system of policing that produced them is palpable.
Police killings in the U.S. reached a record high in 2022. That has only been rewarded with more funding at the expense of schools, hospitals, housing, & more.
Tyre Nichols should be alive. Charges alone aren’t justice. Change is.
At least 1,176 people were killed by law enforcement last year – a record.1 Billions of dollars in trainings, body cams, and reforms haven’t stopped it. In fact, it’s gotten worse.
We must grow out of this cycle together.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
