We need to look at the totality of the things that we’re labeling as violent and really examine whether we need to have some more proportionality in terms of the punishment fitting the crime that’s done.

The most violent and troubling stories become part of our national consciousness about foster care.

Say the average arena is 20,000 people. You’re in the very center of that arena, and you’re playing to the worst seat in the house up there. So everything is very big, very large. It’s like a very violent form of Broadway in a 20×20 ring.
I’ve have a number of violent tics. With Tourette syndrome, there’s not just compulsive actions, but compulsive thoughts as well. That used to scare my mother a lot.

Coming up in the Bay Area and being African American in a city that has a history of complex issues of violent crime, interaction with the police is always intense.
