Research shows that Black folks suffer PTSD from watching videos of Blacks being killed by police.
It’s a phenomenon called “linked fate”, where we see ourselves and loved ones in the place of the victim.

Camden, NJ disbanded its police department in 2013. They rebuilt it. Officers received de-escalation training and returned to a true community policing model.
In 2012, Camden had 67 murders.
In 2019, they had 25, a near 63% drop.

Remember- Liz Cheney still wants to:
-criminalize abortion
-do nothing abt Climate Change
-do nothing for the poor
-do nothing abt health care
-set back voting rights
-make the rich richer
