He made the point that people are reached through hearts and minds rather than dominance, that the problem is bad policing in addition to other societal ills, and that fixing that would involve bothering to vote. He didn't actually say that trump needs to go in order for the problems to be addressed, but the implication was heavy in the air. Great stuff.

Yesterday it was the mayor of Atlanta, Keisha Lance Bottoms.
She was composed and very firm in her message to the squatter in the white house.
