Here's something I'm struggling to make sense of:
If the police had arrested and tried Orlando Anderson for the murder of Tupac Shakur back when they first found out that he was responsible for it, Orlando would probably still be alive today.
This fact tells us so much about how corrupt and inefficient the American police are (or chose to be), and it tell us so much about how, for some Black men in America, it's safer to be in prison than to be free.
