@MisuseCase
This thread is fully true for #SaltLake County protests in #Utah. Our people were beaten and intentionally shot by "nonlethal" rounds that still pierced the skin because the cops wanted to hurt unarmed protesters.

For months police stalked and harassed them and the prosecutors threatened them all with felonies for breaking glass, spilling paint, and even "shifting their weight" in a way cops saw as scary.

And, of course the GOP and general public believe the propaganda that the protesters "burned down cities" and "faced no consequences".

#Lewis left us marching orders that are even more urgent today. “When you see something that is not right, you must say something. You must do something.” – @jonathancapehart@bsky.social

@chad #AdolfMusk and Ben Shapiro want #Donald to pardon the man who brutally killed #GeorgeFloyd. #DerekChauvin, a white cop, had arrested Floyd, a black man, for using a counterfeit $20. He knelt on Floyd's neck and back for over nine minutes, fatally asphyxiating him. And #ABDanielleSmith is sharing the limelight with him? WTF is wrong with you Danielle? #BenShapiro is a #donaldToady. You’re sharing the stage with him? And Alberta taxpayers are footing the bill. #ElbowsUp

Silver lining among Trump's atrocities: State crimes cannot be pardoned.

Via Kyle Griffin:

#Trump supporters, led by Ben Shapiro, are pushing to pardon Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of killing #GeorgeFloyd.

Big flag: Chauvin cannot be pardoned for state crimes. Chauvin will still be in prison if Trump acts. And the 22.5-year state conviction is a longer sentence than the federal case.

@ikeacurtains Absolutely. And I hope #PM @markcarney reins them in. For example: #PresidentAdolfMusk & #BenShapiro want #Donald to pardon the man who brutally killed #GeorgeFloyd. #DerekChauvin, a white cop, had arrested Floyd, a black man, for using a counterfeit $20. He knelt on Floyd's neck and back for over 9 minutes, fatally asphyxiating him. And #ABDanielleSmith is sharing the limelight with him? WTF is wrong with you #Alberta?

Continued thread

For 4½ mins, Gen #CQBrown spoke, in stark terms, about his life as an African American fighter pilot.
“I’m thinking about how full I am with, with emotion, not just for #GeorgeFloyd, but the many African Americans that suffered the same fate as George Floyd,” he said, a…tremor his voice. “I’m thinking about protests in my country ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, the equality expressed in our declaration of independence, in the Constitution, that I’ve sworn my adult life to support & defend.”
