conulyThey weren't out, so I didn't ask if they were sending a message about police brutality, or something else, or if they were just remarkably careless.
I have a number of links from![[syndicated profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/feed.png)
marshallprojectemail_feed, and rather than linking to each one individually I thought it was easier to link to their lists. If you're at all interested in the subject of prison reform in America, or the related subjects of policing, police brutality, immigration and ICE, or occasionally poverty then you should either subscribe to the feed or sign up to get the same things sent to your email.

Additionally,minoanmiss has a specific letter writing suggestion which I will copy in full:
To a professional who teaches police to be violent, specifically. One of the major proponents of training police to 'shoot first and ask questions later/never' is William J. Lewinski, whose Force Science Institute conducts trainings all over the US in justifying police violence. Perhaps people should point out to him and his organization their part in the deaths of countless people, including George Floyd and Brianna Taylor.

NYT article https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/02/us/training-officers-to-shoot-first-and-he-will-answer-questions-later.html
If you're already sending one such note, you may as well copy it and send it to your local police department. Police officers in the US have actually been fired for successfully de-escalating situations involving unarmed people rather than going in guns blazing.
Finally, from Teen Vogue, which continues to knock it out of the park, How to Safely and Ethically Film Police Misconduct. (Safety tips include social distancing!)
