Our neighborhoods.

They closed down
60 of our schools

because they wouldn't
pay for them,

and at the same time,
they paid more for the police

to be in those schools
that they keep open.

Now, what does that say
about them

and what
they think about us?

What do we do
with an organization,

funded by our tax money,

when it chooses to hurt and kill
the people it's paid to protect?

What do we do
with an organization

when its members
become criminals,

when they become murderers?

We stop funding
that organization.

Now, I want you to hear me
when I say this,

because I want you to know
that I am not hiding

behind any politician speak.

Defund the police.
