this is an essay, but most importantly, it's also a set of activities/questions to think about & explore re: policing.

it's about pushing ourselves, testing the edges of where we are at on this, starting conversations.

that being said, i hope you will start conversations and try out the questions/exercises at the end. if you're wondering about why there aren't comments here on the site, early on i tested out the idea of having comments/discussion here, but it was hectic, rant-y, and not what i wanted to moderate. some of the discussions happened on facebook instead. and hopefully most of them happened over slices of pizza, or emails between friends. i'm sorry if you sent a comment and it wasn't published on here. fortunately, though, your questions and thoughts are not lost, and you can talk about these ideas & questions with whoever you choose to, in your life out there.
