This video is deeply disturbing. I’m reaching out to local leaders and the police commission to investigate this incident & other instances of use of force against protestors. We all should be able to protest safely, especially when those protests center around police brutality.
I am outraged at the deplorable behavior of our President and Defense Secretary Esper, threatening to use American military forces to suppress peaceful demonstrators exercising their constitutional rights. This is a deeply shameful moment for our nation. https://t.co/zO8bEMd0YB
This grown a*s man just did this to a little girl who was posting flyers in support of George Floyd. This is sick. No grown man has the right to touch children, ever.
31 years ago today, the Chinese government murdered students who stood up to tyranny at Tiananmen Square. Whether in Beijing then or Hong Kong and Lafayette Park now, we must oppose the use of military force to crush peaceful protesters. The right to free speech is universal.
Lt. Gen. Honoré: “If he’s going to control the nuclear weapons, nuclear aircraft carriers, the submarines and 2 million people — the secretary of Defense needs to stay the hell at the Pentagon, and stay out the White House.” https://t.co/fNi24uoEoe #inners
Why on earth does the Pentagon's plan for CARES Act money include money for golf course staffing? How is this related to to the pandemic?

Dear Deputy Asst @hogangidley45: What the f*ck do you mean? Are you going to use tanks on Americans? Apache helicopters? F-15 fighter jets? Bayonets? Machine guns? The phrase “all options are on the table” for military is a phrase for our enemies. Americans are not the enemy.
