these preemptive statements from police departments have a very strange vibe. cops don’t need to coordinate ahead of time to “protect” our “First Amendment right to protest.” that’s explicitly not one of your duties & you’ve been to court to have that fact upheld!
however you feel moved to react to the ongoing violence of the state, be powerful. understand the risks you take. make informed choices when you can. protect yourselves & your community. i can’t tell you to be safe, because we often don’t have control over that. but be powerful.
A cop in Texas goes on trial today for shooting a Black woman to death through the back window of her home. Aaron Dean went to Atatiana Jefferson's address after a neighbor called a non-emergency number at 2:30am saying her front door was open.
No Black jurors were selected.
@Kali_Ma_TX lmao no thanks. any time I've had to witness your behavior in person I too am left assuming you show up just to troll + attack. your tweets don't change my perception. if you want sincere dialogue about this I bet there's a whole ass group of people you could have started with 😉
@Kali_Ma_TX oh yes, sure, of course. your clear statement in which you claim being armed while simultaneously protecting ones identity equates to being a cop without a badge, and your assertion that it is "not anti-fascist".
where exactly was your message misconstrued?
@Kali_Ma_TX 😏 and what are these accusations levied against you?
You started this exchange by publicly denouncing armed community defense as fascist cop activity. Do the implications of your words matter too? Or that only applies when *you* feel slighted? Very self serving behaviour, imo.
@Kali_Ma_TX so you're saying my internet words have the ability to hurt you 🤔 interesting.
I wonder what impact your words have on the landscape of community and personal defense in north tx. I wonder if you ever think from a community based mindset rather than a personal one. 🤔
@Kali_Ma_TX being as you are known for doxxing leftist and queer activists when you personally don't agree with them, maybe the ulterior intent is 'supposed' but it isn't baseless. 🤨 I just wonder why you work so hard to undermine community defense efforts everywhere you go 🤨🤨🤨 its weird
@Kali_Ma_TX lol
Your preference of beating around the bush doesn't affect how clearly your intentions are perceived by the folks from within your community. Keep talking really big though - I bet it will get you a lot of internet points or whatever it is you're seeking. 🤪
@Kali_Ma_TX you are so cringy lmao
So what gives you the authority to dictate who may or may not participate in an event which you are not organizing? And by what authority do you unilaterally decide who may or may not engage in community defense? Are you like, an actual cop or something?
