@stevesilberman And this is why I can’t watch it.
@stevesilberman hearing that part is what broke this dad
@stevesilberman that's when my heart broke with anguish. i didn't know Tyre, but i felt his pain. i felt his mother's pain and i wept.
we must do better. humanity depends on it.

@stevesilberman

And this is why women. especially mothers, need to replace white men at the top of everything.

@kitsystratton @stevesilberman people shouldn’t get a position because of their race, gender or parental status, but because of their ability to lead
@stevesilberman
Except I fear this isn’t the case. Too many white women voted for Trump and actively prop up white supremacy. I really really want this to be true but there are far too many mamas that don’t feel #TyreNichols anguish like it was their own child’s. Because they choose not to.
@RuthZ @stevesilberman Women are people, and people can be awful. Margery Taylor Green and Sarah Huckabee Sanders are mothers.
@stevesilberman This brought tears to my eyes. Just beyond words.
@stevesilberman A powerful message yes, but another way for mothers to feel guilty.

@stevesilberman Each cop needs to carry liability insurance. If the insurance company won’t issue a policy, they cannot be a cop. Also a national license to be a cop, with searchable registry. It it an awesome power to be able to detain another human under threat of prosecution and violence, which is what a traffic stop is.
