Here's some background on what federal charges against the former officers means, how common they are, and possible sentences, which @RihamFeshir and I put together back in May when they were indicted. (2) https://t.co/hlpwA6md3X

.@AP found Louisiana state troopers have made a habit of turning off body cameras. When footage is recorded, it's often kept secret. A recently retired supervisor says it was “common practice” to approve uses of force reports without reviewing the video. https://t.co/x0ZuGObEpC

@bedwards92 Would love to see data on how many of those top-tier hires stuck around versus hopping to the next gig (out of state)... or resigning in disgrace.

@medfraud_pmh When I was a kid, I used to use two cassette player/recorders and would record my overdubs as one player was playing back and the other was recording. I got in trouble cause I taped over my sister’s Lion King soundtrack.

A quick little hybrid soundtrack with an absurd number of cello players just because I can. https://t.co/Yu7P6q59yg

@medfraud_pmh Yessir. I mostly used sample libraries and synths for this. But if you listen REALLY closely, my kitchen utensil and pots made an appearance too.

As COVID cases surge, that means more breakthrough infections, especially with the more contagious delta variant now accounting for 83% of Louisiana cases.

"The ability to infect is just far greater.”

Louisiana is losing out on a roughly $220M stimulus in ending the federal $300-a-week unemployment boost early. To match that economic activity, 40% of jobless — or 59k folks — would need to reenter the workforce in August, per LSU economist Jim Richardson https://t.co/ex66Yyx3uh
