I’ll soon be sponsoring a bill to withhold federal money from municipalities and police departments that deploy Flock (and other style) cameras to surveil law abiding citizens.
ICE shooter's ex-wife told the Portland Press Herald today he asked her "to lie for him and to cover for his character. I told him that I was not going to lie for him.”

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship.
She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.
Everyone please call and/or email your representatives and senators to tell them to support @justinamash ‘s Ending Qualified Immunity Act Bill which will hold police more accountable to the people and prevent police brutality through greater liability
My colleagues have received this letter, and the text of the bill will be available shortly. Please urge members of Congress to sponsor and support the Ending Qualified Immunity Act. Police must not be immune from liability when they break the law. #EndQI
This week, I am introducing the Ending Qualified Immunity Act to eliminate qualified immunity and restore Americans’ ability to obtain relief when police officers violate their constitutionally secured rights.
I am heartbroken and disgusted to see one of my family members a young black man w/his hands up peacefully protesting and an NYPD officer pulls down his mask and pepper sprays him. @NYCSpeakerCoJo @BPEricAdams @FarahNLouis@JumaaneWilliams@NewYorkStateAG @NYPDShea cc: @EOsyd
