Police officers like this are the reason why so many Black men and women fear police encounters. 👏🏾 to this mom for standing up for her teen son and making sure this situation didn’t escalate any further.

@MEM_PoliceDept@ShelbyCountyDA@AttorneyCrump While P.O.S.T. may have restricted these four officers from serving as police in TN, they could potentially apply in the other 49 states and continue with their abuse of power. Problem NOT solved.

@AttorneyCrump The public's trust of law enforcement is beyond tarnished, and has been for decades. Only now, with smartphones in almost every home, their nefarious actions are being recorded and shown to the world.
@NAACP@DerrickNAACP Law enforcement enjoy Qualified Immunity, as do other government officials. Only an ACT of Congress or the Supreme Court's reversal of Harlow v. Fitzgerald can change it. Now what?
@CoryBooker Are these Bills you're introducing to reform exploitative prison labor in the U.S. bipartisan? More importantly, what are the chances of this Bill passing both the House and the Senate?
@AttorneyCrump Were the cams intentionally turned off or never turned on? Five-day suspension? What message does this send to the community? A man lost his life at the hands of law enforcement!
@AttorneyCrump We hope you represent. And, not just for the families who lost a loved one, but for those who should be held accountable for the many lives that were lost! The injustice at the hands of our law enforcement in this country has to stop!
@AttorneyCrump What is going on in Harris County Jail? You'd think the deaths of all those inmates would have raised questions long before you came into the picture. Obviously, no one cared enough until they were put in the spotlight. Our judicial system! What an embarrassment!!
@katerbland Quoting Janai Nelson, president and director-counsel of the NAACP "we’re all still processing, but the way casual violence was normalized tonight by a collective national audience will have consequences that we can’t even fathom in the moment.”
@NAACP_LDF Is it safe to say voters are entirely responsible for these atrocities? After all, We the People put these politicians in office to address the very issues we are uncomfortable with. It would appear re-electing the same individual would only yield the same result. Is that fair?
