End Cash Bail.

The newly-elected chief prosecutor for Ann Arbor, Mi, announced today that his office will not seek cash bail, saying it violates the country’s legal principle of “presumption of innocence -Simply, cash bail creates a 2-tiered justice system—1 for the rich & one for every1 else”

[Jake Offenhartz @jangelooff]

What specifically triggered police to arrest peaceful protesters last night?

"What you see in front of your eyes is not always the whole story," @NYCMayor says. He floats the hypothetical of someone having a weapon while providing zero evidence, Trump-style.

[Jake Offenhartz @jangelooff]

Brian Lehrer describes police violence this week, and asks @NYCMayor: Do you acknowledge that those things happened and say the NYPD acted wrongly?

"I don’t have information that tells me that."

De Blasio has this info because his press secretary witnessed it. He's lying, again

[Christopher Robbins @ChristRobbins]

This is a mayor who was elected on a platform of reforming the NYPD, making it more accountable and transparent, gaslighting the public about what is happening on the streets of his city https://t.co/BzloRnka0I

Anyone surprised? 🖕🏾

[Ali Winston @awinston]

No. What's happening is that NYPD are implementing the 2004 RNC tactics - kettles, 'frozen zones,' mass arrests - writ large, with an 800-cop unit (Strategic Response Group) replete with cops w/looong misconduct histories. 1st Amendment be damned https://t.co/mrBsHd3Lod

"Kettling is not in our patrol guide" - NYPD on NPR.

Of course it isn't, darling.

This is not normal. This is an organized, flagrant violent street riot staged by the NYPD because they know there are no consequences and no limits on them. And how do they know? Because the council told them, via the bullshit June budget deal.

For anyone who was falsely arrested or who was the victim of police misconduct over the last few days, please contact our Cop Accountability Clinic at [email protected] or [phone].

NLG-MN condemns the kettling & mass arrest of 600+ ppl, including minors, in #Minneapolis last night as they demanded all votes be counted.

2020 made us realize how heroic poll workers, ballot counters, grocery clerks and post office workers are. It really does take a whole society to make a working society.

Was driving home from work yesterday + pretty sure I saw Federal Officer vehicles. Can anyone confirm? #StaySafe

[Rich Mintz @richmintz]

These NYPD operations are just armed and organized street gang attacks against the people of New York at this point. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

[Rich Mintz @richmintz]

We’ve hit the point where most times I see a @TrekBikes bicycle it’s because a NYPD officers is beating someone bloody with it

[Action Bail Fund @ActionBailNYC]

This is what democracy looks like?

[Rich Mintz @richmintz]

One of fifty disgusting video clips from last night. Fire Shea, arrest these officers (and thousands more) for assault.

This organized gang of violent offenders, answerable to no one, can’t be reformed. Abolish the NYPD.
