 @d591b4ac Another false promise. The communities are fed up with the lies and apathy from elected officials. And fed up with law enforcement. Many residents are disenfranchised from voting. Taking to the streets is their only way to send a message. We've seen that time and time again. In Philadelphia, that's 4 times since 2020.

 @b962ff8f The false promises on law enforcement reform are particularly painful every damn time a new incident hits the news.

 @d591b4ac Yes. Yesterday in Philly was the latest example. Though the cameras clearly showed the officer using his gun multiple times,while the suspect was simply in his car and did not understand English and the commands that the officers said to him before he got shot. Rodney King all over again.

 @b962ff8f it’s the lack of accountability that has people losing their minds.
While all the pro police people chant about personal responsibility in service to cutting benefits that help people get out of poverty.
