Wow, a prosecutor who worked under the "hard on crime" US laws? Say it ain't so!

The laws are dumb. Corporal punishment is dumb. It's a fancy word for state sanctioned murder.

Every year US states executes people who have been put through kangaroo courts with circumstantial evidence.

This is a federal problem that has been part of US politics since the inception of CRT.

Bail and bonds were just ways of preventing Freeman to actually make any money or lives for them selves so they would end up in prison chain gangs.

Hey, here's a great idea. Lift old laws that stifle economic development "in certain areas", create more combined domestic and commercial areas, put money into public housing, and for the love of God

reform the goddamn justice system

Petition Harris even. Organise, FFS!
