Understand how we got here. The cooperation of both political parties to stay on code and maintain white supremacy. This is why we can never simply vote our way out of this.
The man that yall are all saying we need to vote for, had a heavy hand in the current policing policies that have devastated our community for the past 3 decades and has flat the fuck out stated he will give the police more fucking money.
Yes, trump needs to go (to fucking prison) but we need to burn and rebuild of the whole fucking system as well.
I believe biden will win in nov. We gotta keep this same energy and not let up just because a democrat face is in office.
As Sen.
Joe Biden struggled 26 years ago to put together a massive crime bill, he relied on a man named Tom Scotto, who had become a fixture in his Capitol Hill office. Day after day, Scotto walked into Biden’s sanctum and convinced him to up the ante, asking for billions of dollars for 100,000 police officers, which in turn required a major expansion of prisons across the country.
“There wasn’t one thing when he said, ‘No,’ ” Scotto recalled in an interview.
Scotto, however, was not a member of Biden’s staff. He was the president of the National Association of Police Organizations, representing about 220,000 police department employees, the nation’s second-largest such group. As Scotto worked alongside Biden in writing the bill, which became law, he personified the bond that the senator from Delaware proudly maintained with the law enforcement community’s power brokers.
