We've got two different problems in this regard:
1. False imprisonment
2. The 'punishment' does NOT fit the 'crime'.
And, of course, a third - and most important - is the 'crime' of existing while being black.
@TeelaResists Vote for Democrats at this point in history. Work for and support candidates that care. It will take time and time marches on.
