The documentary Injustice chronicles the fight for justice of seven families whose members died in police custody, or in encounters with the police. None of the police officers involved in these killings have been prosecuted or disciplined. Six of the families are Black (African Caribbean), the seventh is Irish. I was privileged to interview the director, Ken Fero, recently. In addition to Injustice, we talked about his new film, Ultraviolence. Go here to listen to the interview.

A six-year-old girl was arrested and taken out of the classroom in handcuffs. Sista Vicky Dillard of Fly Nubian Queen made us aware of this.
Now, you may be wondering, what could a six-year-old do that would warrant her being arrested and led out in handcuffs? I'll be saying more about this. Go here for more. I am not going to say much more about this. I am not going to use terms like "outrage", because we already know this is an outrage. This still upsets me when I think about it. But I prefer to focus on solutions, like Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Go here for more from the Blogging Carnival for Nonviolence 2020. |
