Something can’t be broken if it never worked in the first place... police were actively and openly working with the KKK one before the civil rights movement, not charging whites for hurting or killing POC, charging POC without evidence with all white juries, and they were literally in charge of enforcing Jim Crow. Saying something needs to be fixed implies that this is new, and there was a point when it worked that we want to get back to.

I think it's weird that people are trying to make it harder for other people to vote. Highly unethical behavior.
