Official University of Iowa account. With more than 200 areas of study, the University of Iowa enrolls 30,000+ students and offers many top-ranked programs.
We condemn police brutality in all its forms. Our campus community’s safety is our top priority and we are currently reviewing the incidents that occurred last night in Iowa City. Black Lives Matter.
how does the university expect us to trust our safety in the hands of iowa city police when they knowingly released tear gas on our community during peaceful protest? knowing the majority of the people there likely were students/alumn/staff/faculty? how will @uiowa respond?
I was at this protest yesterday. Iowa City I am ashamed and @uiowa this ones on you. This petition is for the University of Iowa to cut ties with the Iowa City Police Department. Sign it please. change.org/p/university-o…

We were just leaving a get together with some friends. Cops thought we somebody else like they always say. 5 more squad cars pulled up and they all drew their guns at us, broke the handle of my door and had a k9 unit come and sniff my car. They suspected we had drugs in the car.
Me @leellxvii & 3 other black student altletes were held at gunpoint by Iowa city police for “leaving a known drug house” the house I happen to be living at for the whole school year. Never thought to mention it. We figured we would be the ones in trouble #SilenceIsViolence

That first proposal is one experts say has been a long time coming. There is no comprehensive federal database for even seeing how many use of force incidents there are each year, even though Congress ordered the Attorney General to begin tracking that information in 1994.
Those bills will: ✅Create a new federal agency to investigate police misuse of force ✅Criminalize police violence against protesters ✅ Limit the President's ability to deploy troops against U.S. citizens ✅ Create a relief fund for communities trying to rebuild

Police fired tear gas canisters to disperse protesters who were marching toward Interstate 80 in Iowa City last night - @ZacharyOS reports on the dramatic scene press-citizen.com/story/news/loc…
Law enforcement tear-gassed Iowa City protestors as they marched toward I-80. During the march, the sheer mass of hundreds of protestors shut down block-after-block.
While they didn't reach the interstate tonight, it remains a symbolic goal for some.

Addressing the clash with police last night, Teague said Iowa State Patrol "made at determination that it was a public safety interest to keep protestors off the interstate." He said Iowa City PD was involved acting "under the direction of Iowa State Patrol."

aren't there already rules in place that are supposed to prevent cops from murdering unarmed people? since they seem to break this rule fairly regularly with zero consequences I'm not sure why anyone would think adding a bunch of new cop rules will actually affect anything

—Don't say "Union" when we mean the United States
—Don't say "southerners" when we mean white southerners +
In this video you can see how we were protesting. No engagement with law enforcement whatsoever. Please share to correct the narrative‼️
