My guest to tonight's State of the Union is Ms. Samaria Rice, mother of Tamir Rice, who was murdered by Cleveland Police in 2014.
I pray that Ms. Rice's attendance at the SOTU will give her hope that we can address innocent deaths at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve us.
We cannot sustain this police brutality epidemic. Police reform through community-driven solutions must be one of President Biden's top priorities.
