State College police officer M. Jordan Pieniazek was not fit for duty, was allegedly acting erratically days prior to shooting Osaze Osagie, and the Osagie family has now amended their federal lawsuit

This is why SCPD fears transparency

From @centredaily (@BretPallottoCDT)
From Osagie family statement :

“The department failed this officer and, consequently, they failed our son,” ... “The department should never have permitted him to go back in service without providing checks and balances to ensure his fitness to serve and the public’s safety.”
THIS is why @3_20Coalition has been demanding for

the names of the officers involved
to FIRE and PROSECUTE those officers
AND an independent investigation into the SCPD

THIS is why we still continue to fight for #JusticeForOsaze

To @sunrisemvmt: we see that you have endorsed @RepDebHaaland for Secretary of the Interior. We believe that she can be a strong candidate, but only if she is accountable for her anti-Freedmen legislation and stands up against Jim Crow in Indian Territory. change.org/p/debra-haalan…
We must protect our planet, but you cannot allow your climate change activism to be complacent with apartheid and disenfranchisement of the descendants of enslaved people owned by Native American masters. We must be treated equally and Deb Haaland has undermined us in legislation
If you believe that #ALLBlackLivesMatter, including #BlackNatives, please call for @Deb4CongressNM to meet the demands of our petition as a part of your endorsement. All Natives should be treated with dignity and respect.

It’s pretty disappointing to see the people on #NativeTwitter who were posting about #BlackLivesMatter for exposure just a few months ago remain silent when there’s literal apartheid going on in some Indigenous Nations in this country. Freedmen deserve equality and we deserve
to be heard and respected. Right now, our petition only has 261 signatures, even though a pro-Freedmen person in the Secretary of the Interior position could really make an impact in Indian Country in Oklahoma. We need someone to hold these discriminatory tribes accountable.
It really only takes a few minutes to sign and share a petition but a lot of y’all would rather scroll past this. Please sign and share. I don’t want to have to go another year of having to tell my family we don’t qualify for citizenship in our tribes. change.org/p/debra-haalan…

Deb Haaland co-sponsored a bill that removed protections for Black descendants of enslaved people owned by members of the Five Slaveholding Tribes in 2019. In four of these tribes, there are active Jim Crow policies. We must hold her accountable. change.org/p/debra-haalan…
As she is being considered for Secretary of the Interior, it is important to ensure that she supports Freedmen of the Five Tribes BEFORE entering office and that she will implement a plan for equality and integration while in office. Native representation is great but it should
not come at the cost of Black Native people’s tribal, civil, and human rights. Please sign and share the petition. She must stand against the immoral policies of the Five Tribes if she is to be considered for Secretary of the Interior.

.@SheriffBernal is an elected official. He was unopposed in 2018 (Scott Davis doesn't count) and he should be removed from office by vote (or @FBI arrest).

The MoCo District Attorney is also an elected official. She also ran unopposed (no Scott Davis didn't challenge her)
2/

The Sheriff and the DA should face rigorous opposition considering what is taking place in the most corrupt county in all of California's 58 counties.

The abuses here have been tacitly sanctioned by the Gov. @GavinNewsom and a feckless California AG @AGBecerra.

These are facts, and they are not in dispute.

I feel the real issues are not being covered in our @GREATBritain @LawDog323 @TheLawMap @TheLawyermag .

What is the point of #RuleofLawisback when the same #CorruptAndComplicitGOP ignored by the very law makers ignored by @MHewittNPCC deputy #commissioner of @PoliceChiefs
who only last year is telling us how fantastic @cpsuk @IOPC_Help are.



Yet in the next breath he has treated this family worse than I have ever witnessed from a high ranking officer who knows of what #bernardhoganhowe and @UKParliament @wabbey are
still getting away with what we know is still continuing because @NSPCC @PeterWanless @MaggieOliverUK and the @InquiryCSA was set up to ignore every single real #victims helped by just about every single so called #FightingEvilByGroupWatch such as @voicing_csa @JU5TLAW

The world we live in
A world where you fight numerous battles,a world full of concealed battles,a world of hatred and opprobrium ,a world of political and social manipulations,a world of atrocities,a world full of sins ,a world that inspires people,gives ideas and kill them.
A world that depicts you in such a way that once you cross over some limits,there are things in the darkness that can keep your heart from ever feeling the light again.
A world of greatness and impurity.
A world full of self resilience and indictment.

LAPD rally today at the LAPD Academy— hello Proud Boy. LAPD breaks up #fight between a Proud Boy and BLM. Proud Boy assumes BLM is all fatherless and finds that hilarious (noted at the end of video)

#BlackLivesMatter #laprotest #losangeles #LosAngeles #BLM #lapd #WhiteSupremacy
Clearly Proud Boys are not “okay” with homosexuals. At LAPD rally today, Proud Body makes homophobic statement and tells me to go home because I’m a “little girl”

Same Proud Boy at LAPD rally today happily posing for the camera showing off his “PB” shirt and a white power hand gesture

How quickly some forget. Journal articles, research reports, oral histories, and crimes stats all document upticks in anti-Muslim sentiment and violence in the aftermath of 9/11.
We must tell our stories — because others attempt to tell them (incorrectly) about us. It's one of the many reasons why I love oral histories. Talk, and listen, to people who've actually lived the experience. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #September11
If you're interested in oral accounts of 9/11 — from folks who were there — you can read stuff like Chief Robert Gray (from Arlington County Fire Department) talk about leading a rescue team in search of people trapped at the Pentagon. 911memorial.org Image

This is what the Kenosha County Sheriff said about five African-American shoplifters 2 yrs. ago:

“I think we have to create a threshold where, once you cross the threshold, Wisconsin builds warehouses where we put these people who are no longer an asset."

“I have no issue with these five people completely disappearing. At (this) point, these people are no longer an asset to our community, and they just need to disappear.”

Listen to me, America: These cops are racist to the core and are now protecting a cop who shot a man SEVEN TIMES IN THE BACK in front of this children.

Hi twitfriends,

I know most of you follow me for R reasons, but I'd appreciate if you'd bear with me for a different kind of thread.

(It'll have a little bit of statistics, at least.)

I live in San Luis Obispo, California.

It's almost exactly halfway between LA and San Jose, along the coast.

The town has about 50,000 people, not counting the 20,000 students at Cal Poly.

We're usually forgotten in the news, but we have two claims to fame:

1. @Oprah once called SLO "the happiest city in America"

(oprah.com/own-oprahshow/…)

2. It regularly cracks the top tier for lists of the least affordable cities in the U.S.
