This is from the same crowd who brought us βpolice should actually be judge, jury, & executioner on the streetsβ in countless media stories, as a damage control attempt to make cases like #GeorgeFloyd seem like acceptable use of force.
Or #BreonnaTaylor.
Or #ElijahMcClain.
#SonyaMassey.
On & on.

#ElijahMcClain 2019 murdered by cops, forced OD of Ketamine.
Who the fuck is the guy with the syringe?! EMS workers who aid and abet CBP/ICE this way should lose their licenses permanently and be prosecuted for aggravated assault. #ElijahMcClain
& like, try to argue proper use of force with #ElijahMcClain?
#BreonnaTaylor?
#SonyaMassey? In my state?
If we canβt even walk to the gas station, or sleep in our own beds freely here, or call for help with an intruder (without being shot in the face), *ALL* of us, then no one is free or safe.
βIβm just different, thatβs all. I have no gun. I donβt do that stuff."

Thatβs usually the case.
Look at #BreonnaTaylor. #ElijahMcClain.
They did nothing & had their lives stolen.
#SonyaMassey was a little over a year ago in #Illinois. The murderer should not have even had a badge at that point (in a properly functioning system with any semblance of accountability).
Thank god for his inside-facing cam. He is so calm and cool and cops can't handle it. Btw i live in this particular town. JSO is out of control. Abuse of power trickles down from the top. #GeorgeFloyd #ElijahMcClain #BLM
