We need all hands for tonight in Graham by 6pm! This is as real as it gets. This is not a drill! Community members have requested a presence against the white supremacists coming to town this evening. Retweet as much as possible!
New from me: Did the Raleigh PD’s former “officer of the year” frame over a dozen local residents as heroin dealers?
A lawsuit says there’s evidence he did—and that fellow cops knew and didn’t do anything about it. RPD declined to comment. #ncpol https://t.co/6UxDomtbvt
JUST IN: Elizabeth City, North Carolina, has declared a state of emergency ahead of the release of body camera footage of the law enforcement killing of Andrew Brown Jr. last week.
Brown's family is expected to view the footage Monday. https://t.co/2gtbRYtprh
For what, @tedwheeler? Protesting? You and @maryannbaldwin both do the same thing - PEARL CLUTCHING! “Lawdy mercy!! These PEOPLE are upset again!! Look at what they’re _making_ me dooooo....” 🙄
@__an0n15_@sndimazz What matters is that he was clearly shot several times. How about you just believe black women & sit down. Maybe even advocate for them to release the damn footage.
Andrew Brown. Shot in the back 8 times. This happened this morning in Elizabeth City, NC. This is why a verdict will never be enough. Justice will come when the precincts burn. #andrewbrown

We've just learned that her name is spelled Ma'Khia Bryant. This is from an interview with her mother. We apologize for an earlier retweet with the wrong spelling. Ma'Khia deserved to have a childhood, adolescence, and full adulthood. Abolition can't wait.
