I just watched the footage of Pamela Shantay Turner being executed by a cop. She was 45-years-old. The police shot her to death at point blank range as she desperately screamed โIโm pregnant!โ
This act of lethal police terrorism happened in 2019.
Very few people said her name.
This shows you that there are a lot of people & companies out there right now that will say they stand with us but only do it so they dont get bashed not because they mean it.
Horrifying. You start with the tiny possibility that two officers may be walking over to deescalate the abusive one.
Instead, they join in beating a man trying to get out of traffic.
This isnโt a problem of bad apples or incidents. This is an institutional and systemic crisis.
@MSNBC@AttorneyCrump@BlackKrystel@ACLUMN Talking heads are Jury this and jury that...its DEFENDANTs right to jury trial NYPD takes bench trials RELIGIOUSLY to gain advantage in system....WHY AINT THE HEADS TALKING BOUT THIS????
@ACLU@maddow@donlemon
Will the George Floyd cops have a bench trial like NYPD- avoiding punishment for thier crimes via pro police judges & suspended sentences
Watching Trump preen in front of St. Johnโs, moments after he threatened to deploy the American military against the American people, with a bible held above his head, I remembered this quote, โwhen facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a crossโ
This appears to be grossly unjustified use of a chemical weapon on protesters and raises serious human rights concerns under international law.
Elected officials, including Congress, must investigate this politically-motivated, life-threatening use of indiscriminate weapons.
OAKLAND! They shut down the courthouse today and tomorrow. And it might be longer. Meaning if you get arrested thereโs no telling when you will be arraigned. This is fascism. This is martial law. Act accordingly and be vigilant at all times. All power to the people.
Here is what was happening outside the White House as President Trump was giving his Rose Garden address and saying he is an โally of all peaceful protestors.โ Peaceful protestors being tear gassed outside of the WH gates. I confirmed because I was teargassed along with them.
