The vicious, unjustified beating of Tyre Nichols and his ultimate death at the hands of five Memphis police officers is just the latest, painful reminder of how far America still has to go in fixing how we police our streets.
Along with mourning Tyre and supporting his family, it’s up to all of us to mobilize for lasting change. To learn more about how communities can reimagine public safety to prevent both crime and injustice, go to obama.org/anguish-and-ac….
@BarackObama STOP saying "Defund the Police." The right only uses that as a political football. We need to start saying "Reform the Police."
@BarackObama Why not obey the policemen in the first place? Not running away.
@BarackObama This narrative that police reform is going to reduce crime is asinine. We have attacked our police forces--particularly in urban areas--in the name of "reform", and murders and other crimes have skyrocketed.
@BarackObama I think it would go a long way for a former president to advocate for the only solution that will fix this problem, the total and complete defunding of all city, county and state police departments
@BarackObama Increase the criteria to become a Cop, then don't pander to those complaining there are not enough Cop of a certain ethnicity. THAT is a cultural "challenge" said ethnicity can deal with internally
@BarackObama you two were the worst things that ever happened to this country
@BarackObama making it about White Privilege even though the cops were black. Care to comment on ANTIFA, Hussein?
