🥳🎉Yay! We won Minnesota! ICE is out! Somali people will no longer be stopped by ICE for being Somali! Now they're back to being stopped by cops for being Black!

5 year olds will no longer be detained for being immigrants like Liam Ramos! We're back to detaining 4 year olds after shooting their dad!

Now listen! Here's what we're going to do! We're going to decrease ICE funding, and increase police funding! We can't have any ICE abuse, but we need more police abuse!
🙂🙃

And I don't want any of you ungrateful Black men that have had guns pointed in your face for no reason to complain about it!🤡

We can't have ICE driving to elementary schools and following school buses! That is horrific! Barbaric! Abusive!

We're back to stationing police officers in elementary schools and on school buses! That way they can beat and arrest Black children without even having to drive over from the station!🤡

I don't want any of you pointing out that George Floyd and Philando Castille were both in Minnesota.

I don't want to hear that in the US, a nation famous for its violently racist cops, that Minneapolis is in the worst 1% of all police depts.

Dems don't count it as fascism if the victims are Black🤡

Chart showing that Minneapolis Police Department has more racial disparities in deadly force than 100% of police departments in the United States. 

19% of the population is Black, but 75% of people killed by police are Black.

Bovino is out, and others too, following outrage about them lying about what was on video on both Renee Good and Alex Pretti. This is right! Hold people accountable

But I don't want you miserable people pointing out that the first thing cops say after an incident is always a lie! That's different!

"Man dies after medical incident during police interaction."🤡

Black people are very fragile! Sometimes they just die while you're interacting with them!

@mekkaokereke I'm old enough to remember the infamous LAPD Chief Daryl Gates being asked why Black people seemed to die so often in police chokeholds and him responding, "Maybe their veins don't respond like normal people." 😱

@BruceMirken

Cops in LA would joke and threaten to murder young Black people in the exact manner as George Floyd was killed. No one believed Black people about this.

The "star" witness in the OJ case was a cop that bragged about him and his friends murdering 12 people this way, until civil rights organizations banned them from using the chokehold so they couldn't pretend that it was an accident anymore.

"When I came on the job all my training officers were big guys and knowledgeable, some [n-word]'d get in their face, they just spin 'em around, choke 'em out until they dropped."

"No, we have to eliminate a choke hold because a bunch of [n-words] down in the south end of L.A. said this is bad."

"We stopped the choke because a bunch of [n-words] have a bunch of these organizations in the south end, and because all [n-words] are choked out and killed -- twelve in ten years. Really is extraordinary, isn't it?"

@mekkaokereke honestly, thank you. People keep celebrating the response to ICE going after white people and my questions are:

When will the US actually finish Reconstruction?

What will any Democratic majority in Congress do differently from the last time?

Because unless those have good answers, the US is still in a downward spiral

@vaurora @mekkaokereke My opinion: you can’t have a democracy with only two parties because you can’t hold either party accountable. And once you’re down to two parties it’s nearly impossible to crawl back out of that situation because electoral reform benefits neither party.
