What if justice begins not with punishment, but with care?

What if our failure to care for the communities harmed by police — and for the officers themselves — is the quiet crisis sustaining a system that brutalizes everyone it touches?

We need to talk about the emotional cost of policing. But not in isolation.

We need to talk about George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Tyre Nichols. We need to talk about the rage that floods the streets when a routine stop turns deadly, when a mental health crisis becomes a fatal encounter. These are not isolated incidents, they are systemic patterns. And yet, they are also deeply personal, carried out by individuals who are sometimes breaking under the weight of the very system they represent.
