Tear gas is banned by the Geneva convention. Using chemical weapons and less lethal rounds on a grieving crowd exercising their constitutionally-protected rights is cruel and escalatory. Happy to join @RepJayXiong on this legislation to ban their use.

Excited Delirium is a made-up ‘medical condition’ used to justify police brutality and murder. If Darnella Frazier hadn’t recorded, they would have blamed George Floyd’s death on it. Grateful to @JessHansonMN for her work to ban including this in police training.

The very wealthy have made almost $2 Trillion during the pandemic while our communities have suffered. This surplus is an indicator of deep economic inequality and underinvestment in the public good. Let’s spend it on meeting people’s needs, not tax cuts for the rich.

One of the people who we were responding to ended up being transported by ambulance to detox. It was clear that he just needed a warm place to stay. We pay in a thousand other ways for our unwillingness to meet the needs of ppl experiencing homelessness.

We have a few hours of footage from a few cops on one night of the uprising. The open racism and contempt for the people of our city from management within the department is shocking. What’s on the rest of the body cams from those days?
