The time is now. 7 community demands

What’s the real play in Nashville right now? A mayoral meeting at a Black church. A shakeup in MNPD’s OPA that creates additional problems. Dietz touting his record with Black folks. There is another play going on. Is this really about the Black vote and the transit referendum?

[Sekou Franklin @SekouFranklin]

Referencing Morante being assigned to the cold case, civil rights bombing in Nashville. This is crazy.

Happy July 32nd! #OversightNow #July32nd

This Morante?!?! https://t.co/2y03295vK3

“When there is a true legal conflict, we approve independent counsel… We have separate lawyers for the CRB and MNPD, and they represent their respective clients zealously.” Note: The MOU was still sent to Wally Dietz for review and he sent it to MNPD.

[Sekou Franklin @SekouFranklin]

No amount of image makeover, biography scripting, staging at Black churches, & subtle gaslighting repurposed as expert legalism can erase the damage that Metro Legal has done to police accountability. This is harmful to Black folks & under-resourced neighborhoods.

Hey Reporters, if politicians feel like they don't have to talk to you if they don't think you're being "nice"to them, that's coercive control and it should be named as such.
Public Servants have an obligation to our community which includes making themselves accessible to us.

My fav part of the wpln interview with Freddie last week was Freddie calling the Nazis “jerks” because they stole his thunder “with all the good things happening” in this city.

If you need a definition of what a white person would say about BIPOC safety…

[Lydia @yousiefly]

Amazing how white people can center themselves at a time when BIPOC are saying “we don’t feel safe or supported here” and the response is “you shouldn’t because we opened up strobel house and there’s also a literacy program for Black kids” (9:40-9:58 ish)

[Lydia @yousiefly]

Oh my second fav part was Freddie saying that Khalil should ask Wally Dietz about how to curb Nazis from marching legally.

That whole interview not going to age well.

[Community Oversight Nashville @OversightNow]

Today we celebrate EVERY employees that did not let the illusion of power stop them from doing the right thing, no matter the personal cost.

A good time to remind Nashville that at least 40 current and former officers have SPOKEN PUBLICLY about systemic abuses since 2018.

INTERESTING:
the term “Serpico Effect” is used to describe a situation where the whistleblower who exposes wrongdoing within an organization, faces hate and even danger from their colleagues or superiors.👍🏼🙏🏼
Happy WB Day.

@SerpicoDet Thank you Frank. This helps me understand what is happening with me.

On this day, July 32nd - Had we not noticed this subversive attempt, our petitions would have easily been challenged or invalidated. The people of Nashville are STILL WAITING for transparency and accountability and they deserve nothing less. #StayVigilantNashville

#NashvilleProtest there are a bus of police with riot shields heading to the nashville protest please let everyone know!!!!

[Community Oversight Nashville @OversightNow]

Tuesday, February 5, 2019, at a 5:00 pm press conference, Community Oversight Now will announce the “Don’t Play Where You’re Not Welcome” campaign in response to the Tennessee General Assembly’s efforts to preempt the Community Oversight Board.

Civilian Oversight Board for @MNPDNashville, how will you vote....
@FOXNashville

[Community Oversight Nashville @OversightNow]

welp. It's worse than we thought.

This org was just formed in October 2020 and is led by a commercial developer turned investment capital partner. Decrying the "defunding of police" falls flat when their budget increases year over year. https://t.co/lJhizLRjyT
