from the press briefing yesterday.
Describing a 4yr old Somali child as a “young man and young male” is intentional. It almost feels like
He couldn’t bring himself to say “child”.
@kissthebadguy
You’re just as politically illiterate and dense as some of the Black immigrants you’re talking about . You don’t differ in your anti-Blackness from them . Stop projecting .
despite various police agencies and an FBI representative who were also involved in the search, it was a community member who located, Waeys.
Police denied and delayed community help the day/morning he went missing.
An FBI agent went to prison for revealing the racist and islamophobic tactics of the fbi against the Somali community in Minnesota and there was barely any news pursuing the agents involved or further questioning their counterterrorism efforts
Just couple days ago..a lil brother of mines called me and said police pulled up on them while they were parked and eating. told them they were illegally parked and to exit the car. These kind of Unnecessary interactions is how ppl end up being killed.
She was one of the primary advocates for a DOJ program targeting Somali youth ...she was working with Hennepin county sheriffs office and the Feds pushing their war on terror propaganda
Why are the police there? Why can’t they let people protest and mourn? Why entice people with the same force that just killed someone’s child violently?
Police have pushed large swath of crowd back across the street, into residential area with tear gas, flash bangs and rubber bullets. This came moments after a few people threw things at police line and organizers yelled at them to stop.
National Night out is a police propaganda event. They have always staged it as a police and community relationship building effort. You can not build a relationship with an institution that holds that much power and expect anything meaningful to ever come out of it.
Dolal Idd was surveilled and killed because of a supposed weapons violation. Eric Munchel stockpiled assault weapons with his mother and invaded one of most heavily guarded institutions in this country. He’s at home with friends/family, instead of jail or in a pine box.
Derek chauvin killed George Floyd in a diverse community with a diverse force alongside him and a diverse crowd begging him to let up his knee from Floyd’s neck.
Aspiring police officers attending public colleges in Minnesota may soon be required to take classes on anti-racism and complete internships in diverse communities if recommendations from a task force on law enforcement education reform are accepted.
Irony of the press being attacked by the police, is how majority of them are there specifically to report on civilians. They never see the police as the aggressors or as an instigating force.
I’m not gonna front ..this freedom fighters story got me shook. The most visible display of force by citizens and it just so happens they work With the police...that’s terrifying.
Winston smith mentioned how the police murdered Dolal Idd in one of his videos. Its such a eerie reminder of the violent political and social forces that connects us all. The tragedies and murders we hear about or witness can be a reflection of how our own life might end.
I’m always baffled by the people who call us extremists in thought or action, when it comes to responding to police terrorism. What’s more extreme than being killed over air fresheners?
CBS news called cedar riverside a breeding ground for terrorists and not one soul batted an eye ...and we wonder why right-wing, red white and blue bleeding cave dwellers hate Somalis..
Liberal media been set the stage!
Can we get an apology for this ? A check ??

You run a tone deaf and shallow account so of course you’d miss his point about the material conditions of ppl . But keep pushing that fantasy about black millionaires.

If your whole outlook is about making profit of course it doesn’t make sense. the point is you can’t use the same tools of a system that’s built on profit to help the poor .
Our communities/religion/beliefs/family/friends are all on trial when we kill ..but chauvin was a lone wolf and his actions independent of the system that trained and employed him for 18yrs.
Hodan Hassan(62A) , mohamud Noor(60B rep) , Fartun Ahmed(Hopkins school board) Abdisalam Abdi (Fridley school board) KA Joog,need to write a letter advocating for the early release or reduced sentences of Guled Omar , Mohamed Farah and Abdirahman Daud.

This is Isaiah Williams. Killed by Las Vegas Metro Police Department Jan 10th. They violently broke into the apartment to serve a warrant and killed him. He wasn’t the person they were looking for
This guy quoting, King, is evicting the poor and unhoused of mostly Black immigrants, in the Cedar Riverside community. Evictions start tomorrow morning.
Today and every day, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy of justice, equality, democracy and peace that changed the world forever.
I am reminded of the value of persistence. Dr. King’s persistence and commitment to non-violence in the face of threats and imprisonment
We have 30 or more people doing neighborhood patrols ...protestors marched through without any incidents nor was there white supremacists setting any building on fire
even when we do survive these encounters ..The fear and shock of being treated as if you don’t have any power but to submit your will to them can leave anyone damaged.. and you’re even more compelled to struggle when you know you’ve been wronged.
Chauvin Spent a good portion of his life brutalizing people behind the badge. His life most likely ends behind a wall,being brutalized by the same conditions/system he helped maintain as a cop .
“how do you remember this if you were high/drunk “
“How can you remember some shit that happened to you when you were 5yrs old? “
Cuhz PTSD Mofo...the body stores those type of memories Cuhz of the shock and violence that it went through.
ADOS literally spews anti immigrant propaganda,promotes borders and capitalism. They stand against everything people like Fred Hampton struggled and died for.
#NotMyFredHampton
what person wouldn’t resist even if it meant death? To escape the humiliating and frightening circumstances that we’re forced into. These cops know what they’re doing ...to push human beings to the edge and against their will ..and more often than not ..over petty shit.
Ahmed Badal was killed under suspicious circumstances and the Minneapolis Police department have not been forthcoming about whether they were involved in his murder. Please donate and share to help his wife and kids.
A ticket or keep it moving would’ve been enough ..but they ended up harassing them to the point of taking one of them three blocks out and telling him to walk back.
Crime is up with MPD already working with a bloated budget and their men policing these communities. we know for a fact more police or the fences/cameras your predecessor put up aren’t working. this is more about surveillance than keeping the public safe.
despite various police agencies and an FBI representative who were also involved in the search, it was a community member who located, Waeys.
Police denied and delayed community help the day/morning he went missing.
Update: Relatives of Daunte Wright, 20, told a growing crowd in Brooklyn Center that he was shot by police in Plymouth on Sunday afternoon before getting back into his car and driving to Brooklyn Center, where he crashed the car and was pronounced dead.
Another clear indictment against those that think reforming the institution of policing or having Black faces within its ranks will change the culture of policing
MPD Chief Arradondo has demoted a high-ranking deputy, after the deputy was quoted in the Strib saying the department needs to do more to recruit and retain ethnic minorities and women or "you're just going to get the same old white boys."
The US charged a Somali woman from The Netherlands,who has no connections to the US. They admitted they couldn’t even track the 300 she sent back. Unreal.
A Somali mother was sentenced to three years in US federal prison for allegedly supporting militants in Somalia.
All she did was send 300 dollars back home (to Somalia)
This story bears all the hallmarks of a classical case of entrapment !!!
Rather than get on national tv and say “free officer Noor” ..let’s remember victims of police terrorism, like Isak Aden,who was murdered by an army of police officers in,Minnesota.
“Misconduct allegations” is basically abuse of power.Think about the record of these officers and the lack of accountability. Ask yourself why does the blame start with the dead and not the corrupt officers that initiated the stop and ultimately ended the life of,Dolal Idd.
The 3 MPD officers named in the murder of Dolal Idd have a combined total of 37 misconduct allegations on their records. None of them have ever been disciplined for any of those allegations.
#JusticeForDolal
Federal and local officials say they did not have intelligence suggesting any violent mob was preparing to attack the Capitol, even as demonstrators were publicly saying on social media they were not planning a typical protest
Guled Omar, Mohamed Farah and Abdirahman Daud sit in federal prisons without any connections/ties to foreign terrorists organizations nor having commit actual violent crimes/murder. They are serving 30-35yrs.
Those who invaded the capitol will be tried as individuals.their religion, The community they come from, or political beliefs won’t be on trial. Eric Munchel stockpiled assault weapons with his mother and gets to go home and be supervised by his friend.
Luger’s possible reappointment shows it’s about politics rather than serving the public.He made a career targeting Black and Black Muslim communities .
BREAKING: Andy Luger, a former U.S. attorney for Minnesota who oversaw a number of high profile cases, including the prosecution of nine young East African men for attempting to join ISIS, is on the short list for the state’s top federal prosecutor job.
Came across 7yr old pics of a “police accountability” event, held on the West Bank. Yeah ..That’s “Sister Betsy”. Almost a decade later of holding forums just like this with our communities and we’re still asking the same questions about holding police accountable.
These look more like military operations than the claim the police are Just responding to civilian concerns about someone having a gun. They show up in numbers and with deadly intent even tho they know these neighborhoods and the places where the most vulnerable hang out.
$740k to pilot a law enforcement internship for high school students as a recruiting tool for MPD - this should inrage you. Your $ paying to recruit students into an organization that has not evolved or improved in one measurable way since May 25, 2020.
I voted twice in this country. Both times for black men. 08 for Obama and 2012 for Abdi warsame(local). I’ve been disgusted ever since.I really wish I could take that Dhaanto back in 08 for obama.
Noor was a pig ...he volunteered his life to serve in the same department as the pigs who killed
#JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
..he would’ve stood guard like that Asian cop ..stop bringing him up.
Asked about civilian casualties in Gaza, Biden says "you have a circumstance where the first war crime is being committed by Hamas by having their headquarters, their military, under a hospital. And that's a fact. That's what happened."
“Through Ka Joog, Lane tutored young Somali refugees in Cedar Riverside, Minneapolis. As a mentor, the University of Minnesota alum helped at-risk elementary school students with reading and homework.”
Self-blame and the guilty feeling of believing you’re not doing enough or haven’t done enough about an issue in your community is a sign of trauma. folks that are experiencing PTSD think they’re holding the community accountable by pointing all the blame at their own.
“First Somali “ ..This obsession with access to power that is never of benefit to the masses of people is truly something to behold. A true Amerikkkan art.
Congratulations Abdi warsame (
@AbdiYWarsame
), First Somali to lead a government agency!Minneapolis City Council approved ward 6 council member Abdi’s appointment as Minneapolis Public Housing Authority Executive Director. Hambalyo.
If we apply the psychological definition of “fear” to these situations and we know how folks either fight/flight or freeze to escape ...why do we think it’s easy for anyone in that predicament to just give up and follow orders with armed killers pinning you in?
If you still believe in having a dialogue with the police after this or believe in “diversity hiring” to address a systemic problem ..you’re an enemy of our communities and an enemy of progress.
All of this is awful.
But A society that continues to rely on punishment to solve these issues will continue to produce citizens that see acts of violence/punishment as the only way to resolve conflict .
fully armed and dressed down in bullet proof vests individuals risking their lives for a job they CHOSE is about the worst kind of propaganda and programming.
Judge Chu got emotional as she talked about officers risking their lives every single day in public service: "Officer Potter made a mistake that ended tragically. She never intended to hurt anyone," judge wipes away a tear.

@LawCrimeNetwork
Major institutions are cutting ties with the MPD. No Dialogue...no rebuilding relationships, straight sayonara, but Poor communities will continue to be terrorized with the idea that they cannot function without the police.That we need more police and community programs.
Our communities aligning themselves with right-wing demagogues or dems ..being given access to corporate spaces or networking with those in power isn’t leveraging any power for the masses ..it just reinforces the elitism n privilege of those from us who have these connections
Talk of "Blackhawks" on the scanner, and also a suggestion by someone to drop a helicopter down to 500 feet "for crowd dispersal." Thinks they "can do it safely," but he's told to hold off on it for now.
