“"This legislation marks a substantial step toward dismantling the systemic racism that plagues our communities, our state and our nation ... ,” Gov. J.B. Pritzker said.M. Spencer Green / AP fileCHICAGO — Illinois has set the stage for a significant overhaul of its criminal justice system after Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed off on a new law that not only institutes major police reforms, but also makes the state the first in the nation to completely abolish cash bail.
The expansive law came together through a massive grassroots mobilization of more than 100 reform organizations, as well as the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus, that helmed the law through the state Legislature last month. Under HB 3653, police departments are also prohibited from purchasing certain military equipment, such as firearms and ammunition of .50-caliber or higher and tracked armored vehicles.
How is this dismantling “systemic racism?” 🤔 Are you saying minorities have a harder time going to an ATM? I mean Biden says they don’t know how to get online, so it wouldn’t surprise me that you think this way.

It would be so great if people would start loving each other and stop raping and killing them and mutilating them but the sad thing is we need the prison system for the people that take a vantage of the innocent!!!! You do the crime you do the time! If they would just stop doing
Excellent.
Great idea. Every state should follow.
