After the release of the video of Tyre Nichol’s murder, @[email protected] focused on the responsibility of white America to reform policing – instead of blaming the lack of structural reform on (predominantly Black) activists who are supposedly doing the activism all wrong: 15/ https://twitter.com/sifill_/status/1619196658050539526
