Briahna Joy Gray Examines the Role of Race and Authoritarianism in Police Violence

Every minute of this is fantastic commentary, from CRT in schools, to why police violence should be framed more often as authoritarian, to the censorship and school defunding campaign being led by Republicans under the guise of fighting CRT, when such "excesses" include statements in books such as "the United States had not eradicated poverty or racism."

Highly recommended.

She also shares an insightful quote by James Baldwin, revealing how racism can still be a factor in police violence even when all the cops are Black, in the tragic case of Tyre Nichols.
