Every single day in this country, at least three people are killed by American police.

We know the names Brianna Taylor. We know the name George Floyd.

Time and time again.

We've seen the completely unjustified, inexcusable,

merciless ending of black lives by American police. Now, each of those people should still be here with us today.

The pain and grief that their loved ones are experiencing can't be measured.

And how many more times do we have to be in this position?

Yes, the individuals responsible for killing Brianna Taylor must be held responsible.

Those who killed George Floyd must be held accountable, but it cannot end there.

We must also hold systems accountable.

Do you hear me?

We have to hold systems accountable for enabling and protecting the

perpetrators who snuffed out these precious lives and the lives of so many others before them.

And what we understand is that if we don't confront the system, the lives of thousands more to come.

It's not enough to bring the killers to justice.

Justice also requires that we challenge and change the policies that allow law

enforcement to end black lives with relative impunity.

Listen to me.

That's why today I want to begin a series where we talk about the policies that are

killing us all over this country today.

I want to talk about no knock warrants and why they should be banned,

why they are already banned in one place in this country, and why they are already banned in one place in this country and why they are banned all around the world.
