Adam Toledo was shot & killed while illegally possessing a firearm & turning toward an officer after fleeing down an alley. Officers were responding to a call of shots fired in the area. He was a threat to public safety. I commend the officers for their actions that night.
20. In June 2018, Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei tweeted, “#Israel is a malignant cancerous tumor in the West Asian region that has to be removed and eradicated: it is possible and it will happen.”
Twitter neither deleted the tweet nor banned the Ayatollah.
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war. We call on President Biden to de-escalate tensions and work for peace rather than prepare for war. Sending thousands more US troops to Europe in response to Russia’s threats against Ukraine only fans the flame of war.
. @AndyStumpf77 dropping some perfectly worded knowledge on cops & soldiers pushing aside all the bullshit we see: “It pushes back.”
That hit hard.
From Kenosha DA: "It is absolutely incontrovertible that Jacob Blake was armed with a knife during this encounter... Most incontrovertible, because Jacob Blake in all of the times he spoke to DCI, admits he possessed a knife.”
How are some media still calling him unarmed?
With my trail blazing partner @DanyGarciaCo & Red Bird Capital, we have acquired the XFL.
With gratitude & passion I’ve built a career with my own two hands and will apply these callouses to our @xfl2020 brand.
Excited to create something special for the fans!

US police respond to ~330 MILLION calls for service/year.
US police make arrests ~3% of calls for service.
US police use force on .0419% of calls for service/year.
US cops are exceedingly phenomenal at helping those that society ignores.
@WCblueline Totally agree... that’s my point: cops already handle these calls like this, but are also ready for the worst possible outcome. Unarmed social workers aren’t.
CIT cops do this kind of work every single day, all over the country. It’s not rare (minus the fantasy about long-term outcome). This is why you should be skeptical about reform/defunding ideas from people who have no idea what cops actually do.
The government that sent 4 billion in stimulus payments to dead people is the same one you want administering healthcare for all, solving racism and getting the economy back. Get your own shit together. The government is incompetent and won't save you.
