President Obama's “snappy slogan” remarks

John, You may or may not have heard about former President Obama's remarks where he claims “you lose people with 'snappy' slogans like 'defund the police.'” Let's be clear: We lose Black people at the hands of police. We lose Black people when we have leaders that spe…
