Top Tweets for #PointerGate
This is the thumbnail I use when I'm explaining the #pointergate scandal to someone who hasn't lived here very long.
A couple of photos from my phone this day in 2014. I wonder if anyone else took any photos that day? 🤔
#pointergate
Happy (?) 10th birthday to #pointergate. I took that photo 10 years ago today. Thanks for the reminder @BetsyHodges
@demonlistgd Not demon or list. Someone has taken over the Pointercrate staff team and it is abundantly clear that something is not right. #PointerGate will be solved, whether you communist bastards like it or not.
➡️Three complaints against Chief O'Hara.
➡️At least 2 (maybe all 3?) complaints from other cops.
➡️Story given to Jay Kolls of #pointergate fame.
We'll see if there's merit to these complaints, but the police union seems to be coming after the chief.

Eight years later, it appears that #pointergate may live on in print newspapers even after Twitter's demise. Truly one of Minneapolis Twitter's finest moments. A hashtag that leaves a mighty legacy https://t.co/CuXPuIR5s5
Don’t blame @GovTimWalz for skipping the Hubbard broadcasting “debate,” missing out on questions like (pure speculation):
How many Minnesotans do you hate?
Do you like making wealthy people cry?
Why do you hate happiness and joy?
Aka- Right leaning media “fair.”#Pointergate
Just to be clear: KSTP blocked me on twitter years ago, they are a republican network. This is bad news for Republicans in Minneaota. Search #pointergate
KSTP/SURVEYUSA: In 2022 Minnesota Governor’s race, DFL incumbent Tim Walz leads Republican by 18 points, 51% to 33%.
The problem is the Minneapolis Police Union. They have the power to veto any changes, and they've fought to make sure accountability is non-existent. Even when a mayor has tried to change things (@BetsyHodges), they go on the attack (#Pointergate!!!). https://t.co/WxokzptjXs
John Delmonico, former Minneapolis police union head who went on TV and started absurd #Pointergate saga, gets $180,000 in workers comp claim with the city, presumably one of hundreds of such claims filed for PTSD
Workers comp settlements for 16 more Minneapolis police officers amounting to $2,625,000 are coming through the City Council for approval next week.

#pointergate 2.0
Look at this photograph
Whoa. What a thread. #pointergate
THREAD: Seven years ago a local TV station ran a racist news story based on the police union’s inaccurate interpretation of a photo I took. The story was so racist it made national headlines. The TV station never apologized. And I started thinking about going into journalism.
Probably should’ve added #pointergate
Never forget #pointergate, which should have been all anyone needed to see to know that the police union is aggressively anti-reform and a safe harbor for racists. And that KSTP sucks.

I can attest to this. #pointergate
