@CMPD I was there.
At the time you tweeted this, tear gas had already been used.
I saw it. I gave a protestor who had been close water.
The media might not hold you accountable, but I will.
Do not lie.
CMPD is continuing to monitor the protests in Charlotte this evening to ensure a peaceful protest. To dispel any rumors, no chemical agents have been deployed.
It’s been a little while since I’ve been active on twitter, so here’s an update thread on what quarantine and online activism has looked like for me and my friends in Charlotte!
Alrighty, that’s it. Thank you for sticking with me this long. I’ll post today’s pic after the call tonight. Organizing and striking during quarantine has been really difficult. But we refuse to let our society return to normal. Because normal wasn’t working.
