Basically, she called out the lack of urgency and transparency. She said the police were too defensive, too slow, and too focused on protecting their own image. Ouch, right?
She also highlighted how families of Black victims often get treated differently. Like they’re an afterthought. Like their grief is less important.
And honestly? Can we pretend that’s not a pattern? It’s like that one coworker who always “forgets” to invite you to the lunch order. Consistently.

Doreen wasn’t buying it. She’s been on this carousel before. She knows the music, and she knows how it stops.
She wants real change. Not meetings. Not apologies. Not hashtags.
