8 Things that police need to stop!
We would like Mayor Jenny Durkan and County Executive Dow Constantine to take the pledge made by the Obama foundation to reform police practices to reduce violence!
Why is this important?
“More than 1,000 people are killed by police every year in America, and Black people are three times more likely to be killed than White people. We can take steps and make reforms to combat police violence and systemic racism within law enforcement. Together, we can work to redefine public safety so that it recognizes the humanity and dignity of every person. Mayors and other City Council officials“ (county executives) “are uniquely positioned to introduce common-sense limits on police use of force.” As it states on this webpage, https://www.obama.org/mayor-pledge/
