and that's part of the problem. it's how to decentralize policing. it's part of the reason why we haven't seen much wholesale change with the system. because for everyone, tour, three departments -- investigation. they require to implement a variety of different reforms and changes. for every one of those police departments another police department that's moving in the opposite direction, it's doubling down on -- it's creating crimes, that are militarizing, and giving the more 30 to cause harm. i think the big picture problem is, is the system as the whole are, worsening individual officers but agencies police department of, year after year, continue to kill people, harm people, black people at rates much higher than what people. without any accountability, without any systemic changes. annapolis, even, every 2% of cases where police were killed by the police, you get an officer who charged. lesson 1% of officers are convicted, but even now that's

happened that has forced saba revels of accountability on individuals. in different police departments, and has helped us -- district attorneys, and has helped us raise the specter of this issue. we can't keep having people fire tear there, or individual sort of pieces of accountability that don't get us to the systemic nature of policing. which is about control and safety. and part about -- every single day, is really deal with the fact that we need to reimagine public safety in the country. we need to deal with the incentive structures. at the root of what we're actually getting. there's incentive structures and systemic nature, and consistently time and time again protects, rewards, and makes this possible. and even when we have these collective moments, we'll get sort of someone fired. or someone going to jail.
generalize disregard with a form of policing that presumes absolute authority, precisely because you represent organize state violence. so part of what we need to see, i think, alex, with regards to this horrific video footage. i don't think we about kyrie's mother, and about his side, i don't think about the loss, and public grief we need to see over, at over. with what the video fetch, think about the beginning of the encounter. when the police officer approaches the car and he snatches him out of the car. think about how he's talking to him talking at the level of violence in the voice and the inaction, that happens every single day. if communities of color, every single day. between black and brown folks, poor, folklore they are dehumanized. they need to ascend to the absolute authority of somebody who refuses to recognize that
