Davin Phoenix, an [associate professor of] political science at the University of
California, Irvine [said], “Before Black people even get a chance to process their
feelings of trauma and grief, they’re being told by people they elected to the White
House — that they put into power — ‘Don’t do this, don’t do that,’” Mr. Phoenix said.
“I would love if more politicians, at least those that claim to be allied, turn to
the police and say, ‘Don’t do this, don’t do that.’”
