So I think if we could find other systems, even at the front end for dealing with police calls, I mean, I think one thing that's being explored very productively is that the alternative to locking someone up in such an instance could be having a mental health team arrive and instead of armed officers who are not

necessarily trained to help someone in the midst of a mental health crisis, having people for whom that is their expertise be the ones responding, I think, can also really help this issue at the front end before someone's even facing the question of whether they can afford cash bail.

this one's going to haunt me for a long time um i think in part because it's so many layers of our collective failure and i wish it could just be one thing that i my intention was to set out finding one thing that we could change and instead i found this cascade of things i mean starting with like why are so many people unhoused and what would it really take to address that and

One of the things I'm most drawn to in journalism is, you know, in a world of just so many overwhelming and intractable social problems, it does feel like there's times when you see things where there's just a very clear room for change.

And I think when it comes to the idea that, like, yes, it's hard to figure out how do we truly address the roots of the mental health crisis we're in, but it feels like a thing I've Deeply believe is doable is ensuring that people are not dying. Teenagers, elderly folks, all kinds of folks of starvation and dehydration in our county jails and our own communities.

And I feel like having communities take a closer look at what's happening in spaces that have been kind of held from the public's eyes to some of the most vulnerable communities. people who deserve the most rudimentary treatment at the very least. I really do feel like that is something we are societally capable of in this moment and something that I hope reporting can be a part of bringing about.

Basically, it means that people can be, in many states, prosecuted for murder, and in some cases, first-degree murder, if they were along in the commission of a felony where someone died, even if that was not their intention. So to break that down, what that could mean and does mean in some places is that... Some teenagers broke into a house and thought they were going to steal an Xbox.

And the police arrived at the scene and shot one of the kids. And another of the young people there was charged with the murder of the friend that the police had actually shot and killed. So the basic idea is to hold people accountable for knowing they went into dangerous situations. But it can lead to surprising stretches of what we think of the concept of murder as meaning.
