I will reach out to some folks privately on this too but if I have any friends within the Biden campaign here would you please consider contacting me?

Apparently Biden is coming to Kenosha to meet with religious leaders here and I would like to offer some names.

1/
The thing is the mayor here tends to surround himself with center-right mainline church leaders whose perspectives should not be the only ones heard.

There is a well of deeply progressive clergy here who are on the frontlines of this fight and Joe needs to meet these folks.

2/
I know many of them, including the ministers of my own church.

First United Methodist Church of Kenosha is literally the oldest church in the city. Our sanctuary is huge and beautiful and I know would be made available to the campaign if needed.

There's video of #KenoshaShooter as well as video of militia members explaining to each other that the police planned to push protesters at the militia members so they (the #Militia ) could take care of the protesters. 1/13

Then, later that night, the #kenoshapolicedepartment tossed bottles of water to those militia members and thanked them for their help while simultaneously telling protesters they had to leave the area because they were "civilians."

Then the militia members staged themselves 3 blocks south of 60th street and the police kettled protesters to 60th street. It was then that this militia member shot one of the protesters in the head with an AR-15.

"It didn’t matter that no #drugs were found—nothing but a hydroponic #tomato #garden and loose tea leaves. The search and #SWAT raid were reasonable, according to the courts."

Civil discontent leads to civil unrest, which leads to #protests and #counterprotests, and instead of restoring order, local #police stand down. Tensions rise, violence escalates, and federal armies move in.
