    "I don't even want more school resource officers. Do you know the racial discrepancies they have against African-American and Latino students? We're going to create a system where we widen the school-to-prison pipeline." — David Hogg theoutline.com/post/3571/davi… via @outline

    Police say demoralized officers are quitting in droves. Labor data says no.
    Police officers in Denver, Colo., in March 2021. From 2019 to 2020, the number of people working at local police departments and sheriffs’ offices decreased by less than 1%, according to monthly data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    On #420day, take a moment to reflect on Bernard Noble, a man who was sentenced to 13 years of hard labor for carrying two joints worth of weed. After serving 7 years in prison, he was released last week.
    Bernard Noble hugs Elnora Noble, his mom, and Gwynne Noble his sister, outside of Bossier Parish Medium Security Prison early Thursday morning.

    News organizations are slowly reckoning with the fact that police often lie in their incident reports. From @Slate:

    We asked incarcerated people what might have prevented them from committing the crimes that landed them behind bars. Respondents said that affordable housing, a living wage, and mental health care would have made the most impact.

    NEW: Prosecutors around the country are asking potential jurors if they support #BlackLivesMatter—and having them removed if they do. A California appeals court will soon determine whether that's legal.
    Crishala Reed wrote on a jury questionnaire that she supports Black Lives Matter. She was soon removed from the jury pool

    A 9-year-old pepper sprayed in handcuffs, crying for her dad. A teenager wrestled to the ground, and another pepper sprayed while waiting for the bus. All were Black girls hurt by police.

    President Biden quietly extended a policy that critics call a betrayal of his campaign promise to end mandatory minimum sentences. The measure could land more low-level drug dealers in prison for longer and with less proof than is usually required.
    On May 4, 2021, President Joe Biden extended class-wide scheduling of fentanyl analogues through October, making it easier to go after low-level drug dealers. Critics say it will disproportionately affect communities of color.
    Biden Could Have Taken the War on Drugs Down a Notch. He Didn’t.
