Many people have been discussing Young Thug's trials as a court case study foundational to creative freedom law in the U.S. I blame not having universal healthcare, the criminalization of drugs, and racism for martyring him. From my limited understanding, I think he is as innocent as Mike Diana's "Boiled Angel". Regarding Young Thug's plea in October, I worry about biased misjudgments defining what "pro gang-related" art is or not. Obligating him to deliver four annual "anti-gang" presentations/concerts in Atlanta could too easily become punitive against any perceived BIPOC empowerment movements. (1969 incident where Chicago Police raided a Black Panther Party community breakfast program. Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, another Black Panther leader, were killed in the raid. Four other Panthers were seriously injured. An investigation revealed that police had fired nearly 100 shots, while the Panthers had fired one.) Punishments could be more harmful than helping him recover his health from random searches and testing he may be framed, entrapped, or otherwise set up to whether or not he may be challenged by addiction or self-medicating. I pity him and everybody suffering as a result of persecution against him. The real concern should be asking why are people in government focusing on him instead of taking on healthcare accessibility and drug decriminalization as more vital crime prevention resolutions. Comparisons of guilty pharmaceutical companies (aka gangs) that were not ordered jail time: Purdue Pharma Guilty of opioid crisis wrongdoing, paid a substantial settlement and filed bankruptcy, with no executive jail time. Johnson & Johnson Guilty of opioid-related lawsuits, settled for a significant amount without admitting guilt, and no executives were jailed. Pfizer Faced opioid-related lawsuits, settled for a considerable amount without admitting guilt, and no executives were ordered jail time.

Did you know that in Colorado, in medical negligence cases, NO MATTER THE INJURY, you can ONLY ever receive a maximum of $300,000 for the combined damage categories of non-economic damages and physical impairment? This not only makes it impossible for individuals to recover fair compensation for their injuries, but it also makes it nearly impossible for these individuals to even find attorneys to represent them. Colorado is one of 26 states that had legislators pass laws that placed CAPS on damages for medical negligence. This November, there is a ballot measure to correct this injustice. Colorado should restore the right of juries to decide financial damages--not politicians. Check out the video below to learn more. https://lnkd.in/gVvjnpPG

How does compassion fit into the practice and culture of law enforcement? The high rates of suicide, substance abuse, and mental and physical ailments are evidence of the extraordinary pressure of the profession. While these pressures are inherent in the job, how we care for ourselves and each other is key to health and resiliency. Healthy individuals lead to healthy organizations, which ultimately result in better partnerships with our communities. PAX GROUP, LLC is partnering with the 30x30 Initiative in an interactive webinar titled, "Strengthening Police Cultures with Compassion". Join me and my friend Sean Harvey, MSOD, MSEd as we delve into the issue of compassion and how it can build bridges between officers, leaders, and communities. Register here: https://lnkd.in/et-BTm4d

When Thoroughways was developed, one of the concepts discussed included Participant's Hopes and Dreams being included in their treatment planning. In a combined 32 years we have observed times when Participant's Hopes and Dreams were not consistently included within their treatment plans. We challenge ourselves to ask "Why not" versus identifying a list of reasons a goal is not achievable. We are excited to present this concept at the upcoming Iowa DDCouncil, Make Your Mark! Self-Advocacy Conference.
