“If you find yourself about to call the police, I ask you to recognize that you are at a powerful crossroads. Take a moment to think about the many people who are actually endangered by the police. Remember that many people who believed the police would help them have ended up dead, or with dead loved ones. Think about what kind of world you want to live in. Then join with others to build it.”
