On Tuesday night, a young activist named Keiajah "Kj" Brooks singlehandedly dragged the entire Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners by their nose hairs down several flights of steps and threw them into the dumpsters. Rhetorically speaking, of course, but she gave a brilliant, righteous, and creative reading nonetheless. It was the best use of two-plus minutes of allotted speaking time I've seen since this dude made Connie change her name. Activists and community members were there to speak out at the meeting of the Board to call for the firing/resignation of Police Chief Rick Smith in the face of longstanding systemic racism in the police department.
