  • The Other Half of the Jacob Blake Conversation

    The Other Half of the Jacob Blake Conversation0

    It’s time to talk about Jacob Blake and policing reform. No, I mean the other half of that conversation. The part where we ask what Jacob Blake did wrong and why it matters.

    The other day, I drove past the place where it all started. One pulls up to the flashing red stoplight and looks left to check for traffic.
