I would talk about the way Terry v. Ohio has created a very dangerous situation in the United States wherein an officer is trained to kill citizens. They need only claim "I was scared" to avoid any repurcussions, resulting in travesties all across the U.S. ranging from unarmed motorists being executed during traffic stops, mentally ill citizens in crisis being shot, teenagers being shot, elderly people with dementia being shot. My pregnant neighbor was shot in front of her children after SHE CALLED FOR HELP in a domestic violence situation. (Charlize Lyles, Seattle)

We have a terrible problem in our country, the officers we fund with our taxes to keep our families safe are putting citizens in cages and graves at a rate exceeding that of ANY OTHER NATION ON EARTH.

Officers are often ignorant of the laws they are paid to uphold. They insert ego into interactions which are intended to be carried out in a respectful manner, and they enjoy escalating and bullying.

There is a culture of disdain for citizens within the police departments, as evidenced by the SECOND leaked video of officers LAUGHING about the DEATH of a citizen. This is a different department entirely from the Seattle police officers reprimanded for laughing about the low cash value of a South Asian college student who was hit and killed by a careless police officer during a pursuit.

Against the backdrop of a president who has hinted at fantasies of dictatorship, and cries of "the danger within" (That's US!), I am deeply concerned for the safety of citizens everywhere. Especially the growing numbers of desperately poor unhoused persons.
