My story has 119 views...that is the most people to have ever looked at something I've written. Ever. And I'm pretty sure only about 10 of those views are from me refreshing the page to check on the number of views 🤔 Exciting stuff over here.

Instead, they join in beating a man trying to get out of traffic.
This isn’t a problem of bad apples or incidents. This is an institutional and systemic crisis.
