A small girl, maybe three years old , was just enveloped in a cloud of tear gas. She screamed while her dad ran away with her.

@namseoknation Remember that the police can and will lie to you. You have these constitutional rights whether you’re a citizen or not: *The Right to Remain Silent
*The Right to be Free From “Unreasonable Searches and Seizures”
*The Right to Advocate for Change https://t.co/dY1ctfHXZP

After Trump’s forces flash-bombed protesters, crowds appeared to increase, even double, in size. What started as a call for justice for Floyd is evolving into demands for the end of a 40-year “conservative” regime balanced precariously on the backs of black Americans.

Black people: Stop killing us. We are human beings. This has been going on for 400 years. The lynchings never end.

NYTimes: Gotta hear both sides

We do not need to give more money to the police.

I just announced that I'll bring legislation banning police use of chemical weapons (including teargas, mace, pepper spray), rubber bullets/bean bags, water cannons, sonic/ultra-sonic weapons, and banning purchase of weapons, along with their use.

We'll need a movement to win.

This weekend, journalists in a group covering the protests in Minneapolis were hit with pepper spray, concussion grenades, batons, and tear gas by Minnesota State Patrol. We had our cameras out, press badges on and were clearly identifiable as media. I ended up with 4 stitches.

This is why I donate to the ACLU: Police are Attacking Journalists at Protests. We’re Suing. https://t.co/wi0uDlrcBS

I’ll say this once. My wife had cancer. If I’m having a Cancer fundraiser, I don’t need you or anyone else running in yelling “All Diseases Matter.” Right now, #BlackLivesMatter  and it’s OK for you to say that. Say it. You don’t need to qualify it any more. No “but”

[so Dumb and so Awful @dumbandawful]

the media will let police say absolutely anything

[Henz @HenryAlcantara6]

All this for curfew violation right?
Not a single person in this crowd had a thought violence but they decided to pepper spray and beat ppl with their Kaptain Amerikkka shield.

[Corvidae of Reckoning @joshmillard]

Game is simple:
1. Follow the rules.
2. No weapons.
3. Obey the refs.
4. The refs decide if you're obeying.
5. The refs have guns.
6. The other team consists entirely of refs.
7. Arguing about the rules is against the rules.
8. Let's have a nice clean game. Disperse immediately.
