In 2014, I tried to explain the Garner incident to my daughters. Yesterday, I tried to explain the Floyd incident to myself. In both cases, I fell short. Murder captured on video defies explanation.

The reason the president threatened mass murder in response to looting is the same reason the police thought they could kill George Floyd on video and get away with it. Some people are protected by the rules and others are simply subject to them.
I’m still stuck on the fact that George Floyd and the officer knew each other, worked together for 17 (seventeen) years. As in. 6,205 days. How evil and wicked.

After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump
Racism has been rampant for hundreds of years, it’s just that in this century people have camera phones to video it. It’s absolutely disgusting that you get mistreated because of the colour of your skin. You would think that those that are there to protect us, would protect.
Trump went from ‘Make America Great Again’ to ‘When the Looting starts, the Shooting starts’ in less than four years our country is on fire, 100k are dead from a pandemic and a criminal POTUS stokes the flames of racism and threatens to use the military to kill Americans.
The conversations we end up having about racism when white folks are involved are still so basic. & they frame America as a mythical land where "racism" is an individual act disconnected from any other act. As if this country wasn't founded on, built on, & run on white supremacy.

Your discomfort is not an excuse to ignore racism. Us white people will never understand the lived experiences of people of color. We can be sure that being a target of overt and covert racism is much more uncomfortable. It’s our job to be antiracist. All the time.@oliviawinokur![]()

A CNN reporter & his production team were arrested this morning in Minneapolis for doing their jobs, despite identifying themselves - a clear violation of their First Amendment rights. The authorities in Minnesota, incl. the Governor, must release the 3 CNN employees immediately.

Taylor Swift needs to stick to music and stop tweeting about politics, but it's totally okay for a game show host with no experience in government to be president.
The 1st Amendment is meant to protect every citizen in America, even President Donald J. Trump.

CNN reporter arrested on live television while covering Minneapolis dissent. He was extremely respectful to the officers, offered to move crew wherever they wanted. Instead taken away. Not what you expect to see in US. pic.twitter.com/iRYUrubAPs

My other colleague @joshscampbell is also on the scene in Minneapolis. He just reported that police approached him, asked him who he was with, he said CNN. And they say “ok, you’re good.” This is minutes after Omar, who is black and Latino, was arrested nearby.

President Trump is calling for the military to shoot citizens.
It is clearly time for
* Congress to open a new round of impeachment hearings
* Military leaders to make clear they would not follow such orders
* Every member of Senate/House to not condemn this to be voted out

I worked GOP campaigns before I could even vote. I've worked for the GOP in congress & still give to GOP candidates. Trump has failed us from Day 1. I'm a Republican, but come November, I'm voting for @JoeBiden in hopes of returning to decency and compassion in U.S. leadership.

NASW joins @NABJ in condemning today's arrest of journalist @OmarJimenez and @CNN news crew as they covered protests in Minneapolis. Even after identifying themselves as journalists, the team was handcuffed and removed in violation of the First Amendment right to a free press.
They were handcuffed and led away by state police during a live shot even after @OmarJimenez identified himself as a @CNN reporter. “It was unnecessary, and a violation of the first amendment,” said @Dorothy4NABJ. Read our statement here: bit.ly/3gxAKO5 pic.twitter.com/FGJBW8kAHI

10.6 Kaepernick
170,000 tweets
Reminder that Colin Kaepernick repeatedly tried to peacefully tell us every Sunday that we had a major, systemic problem.
::Colin Kaepernick has entered the chat::
Our country allows for peaceful protests, but there is no reason for violence. I’ve seen our citizens unify & take care of one another through COVID19 & we can’t stop now. My deepest condolences to the family of George Floyd. As a nation, let's focus on peace, prayers & healing.
After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump
I'm old enough to have been here before. In a decade, we will learn that, among brave freedom fighters (protestors against heinous racist police violence) were undercover police plants trained to stoke the worst kind of police violence and fuel even more white backlash.
Donald Trump is calling for violence against Black Americans. His advocacy of illegal, state-sponsored killing is horrific. Politicians who refuse to condemn it share responsibility for the consequences.
This is a good thread to read to have a better understanding of police violence and what white people can do to stand up for our brothers and sisters.
4. Demilitarization. Police depts that get more military weapons from the federal govt kill more people. You can stop that from happening through local and state policy. Montana (Red state) has gone the furthest on this. Your state can and should follow. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Make no mistake, the president just threatened to gun down American citizens en masse in Minneapolis.
The President of the United States is threatening to have law enforcement mass murder Americans.

Minnesota Governor: Our problems have been brewing for 400 years.
As a white man I'm not going to stand here and patronize you but I'm asking for your help to restore order.
Thank God there was a person with a camera to capture what happened to George Floyd.

Update: It has been revealed that Officer Jacob Pederson of the St.Paul Police Department was the culprit responsible for kick starting the riot in South Minneapolis. He was captured on camera and identified by his Ex-wife.
Can you imagine the amount of police brutality and violence in your lifetime that has not been captured on video?

I was talking to a couple white friends about the tiny ways white supremacy snakes its way into normalcy and I realized how invisible some of it has become to nonblack people. Tiny ways we're dehumanized daily. So I wanted to do a quick thread about a few examples.
"Defeating racism requires tangible steps to build an anti-racist society, including addressing the culture of policing that upholds White supremacy and working to dismantle it" Strong words from @PaxChristiUSA. Would that our bishops speak so forcefully! paxchristiusa.org/2020/05/28/sta…
