You cannot reform a system that not only would lie on a child, but kill a child.

The Adam Toledo was so horrifying that Chicago boarded up municipal buildings before the video was released. That tells you all you need to know.
— roxane gay (@rgay) April 15, 2021
After chasing him, the police officer says, "Show me your fkin hands."
— Britni Danielle (@BritniDWrites) April 15, 2021
Adam Toledo turns around w/ his hands up, and the officer shoots him.
After he shoots him, the officer says, "Look at me, look at me. You alright?"
Adam Toledo died. He was 13.
You cannot reform this. https://t.co/VtVfq1UQyI
The prosecutor did not “make an error.” He lied.

He lied about the police killing a child.
Ending this isn’t just about consequences for who pulls the trigger. It’s about admitting to and confronting an entire system that exists to protect, defend, and cover up state violence. https://t.co/pKkb8PMchR
