[two tweets from Bree Newsome Bass @BreeNewsome: Y;all realize the lowest crime levels committed by the poorest people receive the heaviest policing, right? And that the wealthiest, most powerful people who are committing crimes against humanity aren’t policed heavily because they own the police? I hope we all realize this.

The police are the buffer between the wealthy and the poor, tasked with protected and enforcing capitalism. I know you’ve been told it’s about crime, but I beg you to look closer.
