"He would give law enforcement officers free meals."

And they killed him.

Do me a favor and never talk about how "we just need black communities police to understand each other better" again. Thanks. https://t.co/HFC4DxsEcX

I stayed in and watched the marathon of “Cops Gone Wild”:

NEW: Attorney General Bill Barr says the DOJ will use its network of 56 regional FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces to identify the "criminal organizers and instigators" of violence during the George Floyd protests, including antifa. https://t.co/FMm91U5FQb

If cops are shooting rubber bullets at white journalists while cameras are rolling, imagine what they’re doing to black folks when nobody is looking. https://t.co/nTY6y5CJgE

Trump's demonization of the press – and his vast support among violent cops – is now resulting in members of his base enjoying their wet dream of torturing, abusing, and shooting reporters. Just like in any othe third world dictatorship. https://t.co/pCrvey7Jve

Atatiana Jefferson should still be alive. We need real reform, now—including federal standards for the use of force that incorporate proven strategies like de-escalation, verbal warning requirements, and the use of non-lethal alternatives. https://t.co/JqaJtXRuPd

Just imagine if the roles were reversed and a drunken black cop killed a white lady because he walked into the wrong apartment:

So the shooter was a federal informant, huh? Very interesting, because they released so little information about the shooter, we all wondered what they were hiding:

.@USAttyMcSwain quickly blamed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner for the Aug. 14 shooting of 6 police officers & conveniently forgot to mention the shooter had been a FEDERAL informant for years! https://t.co/VvOdUwE8dB Are you using your position to run for something?
