Blagrove says that while RPD has added new policies, officers have not faced real consequences for breaking them. The city enacted a “de-escalation” policy, for example, in late 2022. But when police confronted Darryl Williams in a Raleigh parking lot just months later, officers tased him repeatedly and restrained him, leading to his death. Officers involved in use-of-force incidents like this remain on the job, Blagrove notes.

Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin saw the council go from united to divided over numerous issues. How will Raleigh move forward without her?

Dawn Blagrove, executive director of the criminal justice organization Emancipate North Carolina, called her state’s new restrictions on mask-wearing a “dog whistle” to “frighten the community” against protest.

Amid calls to reinstate mask bans, Covid-19 cases remain on the rise in 38 states, according to the CDC.

“We have a constitutional right to protest. However, our General assembly and a few men here have decided that we should no longer be able to protest if we are not protesting for the things that uphold and support white supremacy,”said Dawn Blagrove, Executive Director of Emancipate NC. “That is an imprisonment on everyone’s democracy.”
