When will you simply admit that @ChiefMikeBrown runs a corrupt, racist police department, that he actively protects coos who use violence and killing as the default response to any situation? When will you finally fire him and put an end to the charade?
While I am unable to fully comment because of the pending litigation, I have conveyed to @ChiefMikeBrown the urgency to complete the internal affairs investigation in the matter of Mr. Jeffery Ryans and be as transparent as possible with the public about the process and results.
.@slcmayor and @ChiefMikeBrown are spending hundreds of thousands--possibly millions--of your money to hunt down and destroy the lives of mostly black and brown folks who were protesting police violence, racism, and overreach.
Which one of y'all wants to explain irony to them?
Cops kill *people*. They shoot people. They beat people. They arrest and harass people. They stalk people. They ruin people's lives.
THAT IS REAL VIOLENCE.
And these monsters have the audacity to come after folks cause some paint got splattered and people marched down a road?
Once again, @slcmayor refuses to show any leadership, compassion, or justice. This was clearly murder, and the mayor chooses again to pass the buck and defer to the corrupt system that killed Bernardo in the first place. Fire these cops now! #JusticeForBernardo
Change of plans!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨 In alliance with justiceforbernardonow we are RESCHEDULING the #CounselorsNotCops protest for NEXT THURSDAY, JULY 16!
Tonight, we demand #Justice4Bernardo! Join us at the downtown District… https://t.co/0UUpXjNpq2
Fuck @SimGillDA's ridiculous ruling. Bernardo was murdered, and Sim Gill is protecting the murderers. Show your support to Justice for Bernardo by going to the protest tonight! #JusticeForBernardo

Murals are great. Why haven't you fired the officers who killed Bernardo, or Cody, or Patrick, or Dillon, or any other killer cop? Seems like you are more interested in looking like you care than actually doing something to fix the violent, racist SLCPD.
We’re looking for local artists, designers and community members to help design a Black Lives Matter mural at the entrance to City Hall. Applications to participate are open through July 15.#utpol#slc https://t.co/tVsuXCN2GV
"Today is not the last protest; it is only the beginning of our fight," an organizer at today's Provo rally said (video via @realUAPB) #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/uR3ecblp4n
Look at the tools from #Utah#Provo these group of fools claimed to be concerned citizens. Oddly enough they were the only civilians with weapons at a #BLMprotest
We did not take to the streets for a toothless advisory commission that you can easily ignore. We demanded something real. We demanded you fire Bernardo's murderers right now. We demanded community control of cops. We demanded police defunding. @slcmayor isn't listening at all!
Today I, along with @slccouncil, announced the Commission on Racial Equity in Policing, a new advising body convened to make recommendations to my administration and @slccouncil on the City’s policy, budget, and culture of policing.
The Utah Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild has set up a hotline for people who face arrest or brutality by police. If you are out there protesting, make sure to have this number.
