The federal government’s move to insert itself into local policing decisions in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and (soon it seems) Chicago is not just overreach but an expansion of federal nullification.

Instead of investing in the infrastructures that drive public safety—housing, education, and economic opportunity—the White House has chosen to escalate the drivers of surveillance, conflict, and detention. That choice sends a clear signal: communities in...| Policing Equity

That sentence came despite the Department of Justice recommending just one day, an almost unimaginable proposal given the loss of life. While the court ultimately imposed a longer sentence, it is still not justice. It is only a form of accountability that comes too late for Breonna and those who loved her. True justice w...| Policing Equity

Let’s get some of the facts straight. First and foremost, let’s be clear: autism does not “destroy” the children who have it or their families. There are millions […]| NAPNAP
