Black Lives Matter NY President: Crime Needs To Be Looked At As A Health Issue, Not A Police Issue

"What I'm talking about is systemic inequality. What I'm talking about is America treating crime as -- as something that needs to be handled with policing instead of defunding the police and looking at crime from the perspective that it's a health crisis
The same way we looked at heroin addiction when it was only black people as 'tough on drugs, war on crime.' We have -- and when it became white people, we looked at it as a public health crisis, as something that needs to be treated."

"But you have corporate lawyers, you have Ivy League graduates who are out there protesting, right? Stop trying to vilify those who are out there fighting and try to understand why they're out there fighting."

"They're fighting because the government has failed us. The government spends too much money on failing programs. The government is beholden to corporations, right?"
