Similar to how many journalist treated their own abuse at the hands of police during protest, as if they are some special class in the 1st amendment, they are not. A protestor getting shot in the face with a police rubber bullet is the same 1st amendment abuse as a journalist.

For those not familiar with our state's history, Mankato, the site of today's presidential visit, is also where the largest mass execution in U.S. history occurred. https://t.co/J6Je6r1HIB

I wonder if reporters will stop reporting abandoned by police as Abolish the Police stories. I doubt they will.

[D.A. Bullock @BullyCreative]

If you are in the media and you would do a story about how people feel about the mask mandate, would you do a story about how folks feel about the seat belt law? Its not a story. We shouldn't give one fuck if you don't like the mandate. Why are you legitimizing absurdity?

I did my #Avenues6k this morning. What is that you ask? Why 6k? Because every night 6,000 Minnesota youth are experiencing homelessness. 6,000 young people with potential who are fighting to get ahead while the current of our society's failures drags them farther behind. (1/8)

Conclusion: many causes need support in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder and during the pandemic. If you are looking for one that supports young people in the Twin Cities, check out @AvenuesforYouth. If you're a runner, do your own #Avenues6k today. (7/8)

Here's me looking back into history (2018) and finding @tony_the_scribe looking even further back into history. We keep having the same debates. How long is change supposed to take?

@PatGarofalo ...weren't you just tweeting about King Walz the other day?

Not reopening schools in the middle of a global pandemic during a surge in America = tyrannical monarch.

Vs

Suspend local law enforcement, supplant with state executive authority?

I mean. Come on 🤦‍♀️

In our city we have had 60% more shootings than last year and the same amount of active duty police. Good test of how your brain is wired - Does this mean we need more police or police are largely ineffective in changing year to year dynamics of gun violence?

[D.A. Bullock @BullyCreative]

The reason I didn't hit you over the head and take all your shit has absolutely nothing to do with the threat of police and incarceration. The social contract is the only thing strong enough to keep us safe. Not even one police officer per every civilian can achieve what it does.

[Jeremiah Bey Ellison @jeremiah__bey]

This is what police officers see when they enter our city...

They think the grocery stores are just full of rapists and thieves and other types of “criminals”.

I don’t want people who see my neighbors this way to walk around with guns and permission to kill my neighbors.

[Jeremiah Bey Ellison @jeremiah__bey]

This needs to be said over again:

If our current public safety plan is failing to keep people safe then folks need to be reminded...

Police are still the only safety plan; they’re still completely funded and intact—that’s the system that’s failing

The status quo is failing
