A police officer shot and killed a 13-year-old who stopped & put his hands up when the officer said to. A boy whose body was fully open & vulnerable to an officer’s weapon. What we see is exactly what happens when police are taught that their lives matter more than anyone else’s.

We have to pass police accountability, establish civilian oversight, and truly reimagine what public safety looks like for the communities most exploited for decades by institutionalized injustice and white supremacy.

My heart is with Adam Toledo’s mom and all mothers who are doing everything they can to raise their kids in a city that protects police impunity before our beautiful children. #justiceforadam

@SigchoFor25 With all due respect Alderman - this is on the community too. We need police reform alongside more community resources so our children do not find themselves at 2am with a felon. We need investment in neighborhoods & schools. It is tough work & it isn’t black/white.

@SigchoFor25 Why do you focus your energy on this one incident, when you could work towards de-criminalizing drug sales. THAT would end 90% of the homicides in our city, our state, our nation. The “Drug Laws” are the problem that created the gangs.
