Democratic politicians supported the proliferation of law enforcement, on public transportation, in schools, even inside homes, a move that has only served to increase the number of people killed by police. Democratic policies are what first empowered the police to become a violent force against the left and in deference to Trump.

It is a militaristic, hyper masculine system which is impervious to change and maddeningly difficult to monitor.

          Didn’t hurt enough minorities for you?

          Are we talking about the same crime bill here? The 1994 crime bill that biden sponsored?
