Here was my neighborhood last night
Because the family of a mentally ill Philadelphia man holding a knife called for an ambulance, and the cops showed up. They claim he “charged” them and they shot and killed him. The mental health unit is a pilot program and isn’t paid to work on the weekends. Protesters didn’t do this, looters did. (Maybe if Mitch McConnell had bothered to help the people hurting from the pandemic, they wouldn’t have felt so entitled.) My neighborhood was hit very hard, the stores had just gotten back to normal since the George Floyd protests. I’m very tired today.

Yep
Cannot get over how much easier police work is today than like 40 years ago. You get video of a crime and then google "keep the immigrants deport the racists tshirt" and then find your suspect's Etsy review. https://t.co/9wWrNXqJfc

And how was YOUR weekend?
I stayed in and watched the marathon of “Cops Gone Wild”:
Encouraging
I don’t want this virus
And I don’t understand the people who want to put themselves at higher risk:
