Three of the last four meetings (March, May, June) of the Minneapolis Police Conduct Oversight Commission have been cancelled due to inability to make quorum. 9 seats, 6 vacant. Quorum is 4.
So when your favorite decent wholesome Democrat uses that same vile fear mongering playbook, when he claims "mass incarceration is what people of color are clamoring for" to try to win the Hennepin County Attorney's office - what will you do?
So @MayorFrey word that the city would enter into good faith negotiation around a consent degree was yet another lie. He is so confident that residents will never hold him accountable for being a liar that he is just brazen with it now.
The police that you are scared to say Defund are the weapon used against you when they criminalize your rights to bodily autonomy. The police are always the weapon against civil rights in this country. Always. But, yeah, we cant say defund that weapon against us, right?
The mayor + city attorney want to go hard at journalists including the victim because Tirado so far is refusing to settle, she also named Chief Arradondo. Good for her bravery to follow through. Shame on the mayor being so intent on sweeping all dirt all the time under the rug.
Our city is issuing subpoenas to journalists to defend MPD against accountability for partially blinding another journalist doing their job. Let that sit with you. This is the leadership of @MayorFrey.
Masks? We don’t need no stinking MASKS! 😷
It’s not like I’m purportedly leading a major city through a respiratory pandemic spread easily via aerosolized viral spray ☺️
