I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Y'all fight for comedians. Which is why you don't have Black journalists to oppose Trump, but you do have famed resistance leaders *check notes* Matt Parker and Trey Stone.🤷🏿‍♂️

Kimmel is interviewing Gavin Newsom in his return. His podcast guests were the dudes that got the Black journalists fired.

You want to live in a world where Bill Maher and Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and Matt Parker and Trey Stone are inside the line that must be protected at all costs...

but Black journalists and academics and professionals are outside of the castle walls, and are acceptable losses in a siege.

I'm telling you that that world doesn't exist.

Either we're all safe, or none of us are safe.

Kimmel and Colbert and jokes cannot save you from what's coming.

You need the people that you won't fight for, to fight for you.

But one-way solidarity ain't it.

For years, I've tried to tell y'all what cops know, and what criminal justice reformers know, about how murders really get solved.

Look at how massive the manhunt for both Luigi Mangioni and Tyler Robinson were. Then look at how they were actually caught. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Two phone calls.

If you doubled the manpower, but halved the phone calls, your solve rate would be cut in half.

If you halved the manpower, but doubled the phone calls, your solve rate would double. You'd close two other murders currently listed as unsolved.

Read the above again and again until you understand it.

Adding more cops and giving them arrest quotas and permission to brutalize Black people, doubles your manpower, and halves your calls.

This makes murder easier to get away with.

Then violent people rack up massive body counts. They get more comfortable and less careless with each incremental killing.
