Where I stand on these issues: I have no doubt that what happened to George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Philando Castile, Tahir Rice, Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Walter Scott, and so many others is wrong and indicative of systemic problems rooted in racism. Despite these problems, I know all police officers are not bad and while I know changes need to be made, I don’t think defunding is the solution. I am all for exercise of first amendment rights, but not for theft and destruction of property.
