The horrific mistreatment of Ronnie Reed by law enforcement in Jacksonville is a shocking example of the unjust policing Black people face. Reed was humiliated in front of his aunt and other bystanders when a sheriff, who suspected him of taking part in a $20 drug deal, forced him to strip down and inspect his genitals. This disturbing incident is now under internal investigation, and the Sheriff’s office has yet to comment.

This appalling example of police abuse underscores the urgent need to reform our nation's policing system and ensure greater protection of Black people's rights.
