Ms. Maynard, listening to you talk about lessening the amount of contact with racialized people, particularly Black people, reminds me of my own thoughts as a young law student studying criminal law. I concluded at one point that the only crime was coming to the attention of the police, so it reminded me of that thought that I had when first encountering all of the laws and how they were enforced.
You said that reducing contact is a good idea to save individuals from being over-policed. Is that your point when you advocate defunding or removing police from certain situations? Can you confirm that this what you're talking about?
