1/ Police brutality is part of a larger system of brutality. Our economic system is brutal to the poor, our environmental policies are brutal to the earth, factory farming is brutal to animals, and our military policies are too often brutal towards other people in the world.

2/ A tendency towards violence is a national character defect. From slavery to genocide of Native Americans to mass incarceration & police brutality, it’s not enough to treat the effects. It’s time for us to recognize the underlying cause, to atone for it & commit to real change.

3/ This generation won’t have peace If we think it’s as simple as getting rid of institutional forms of violence. We will have true peace only when we decide to wage peace. That’s why the peaceful protests are important. Why justice is important. And why we need a Dept of Peace.
