Van Jones: Atlanta police shooting is about probation, not just police

Van Jones, reacting to a moving interview that Rayshard Brooks did in February of this year about the challenges of being on probation, writes that for a person on probation, as Brooks was, any contact with a police officer -- for any reason -- means an almost certain return to the horrors of a jail cell. It is safe to assume that Brooks did not want to go back to jail over sleeping in his car or failing a sobriety test, lose everything he had and be forced to start his life over again.
