A thread about what’s going on in #louisville right now. I’m going to touch on the “failing school” narrative, structural racism, and reform for our city. I am a dad, a tax payer, and a principal for @JCPSKY

For my students that read this, think about the points I have here, reflect on them, and balance them with your breasts experiences. You will be in a position soon to do something about it.

I am a principal of a predominately black school. We are among the highest free and reduced lunch count in our state. Our students have many barriers and roadblocks in front of them. I work with good people who actively work to remove them #iroquoisbelieves
Attica Scott, the lone black woman in Kentucky’s state legislature & author of “Breonna’s Law” (ban no-knock warrants) arrested in #Louisville & charged with riot in 1st degree; Class D felony.
If convicted she would lose her right to vote & hold office.

The arrest report alleges that she "caused damage at multiple locations, including setting fire to the Louisville Public Library.”
Louisville free Public Library Union issued a statement of support for lawmaker Attica Scott.

The rioting charge is a Class D felony, same class as former LMPD officer Brett Hankison's wanton endangerment charges.
Failure to disperse & unlawful assembly are misdemeanors.
Scott’s daughter Ashanti & activist Shameka Parrish-Wright @Seasoned4u from Bail Project also arrested

Today about 500 armed activists with the all-black "Not Fucking Around Coalition" aka "NFAC" gathered to march in #Louisville for #BreonnaTaylor.
As they were getting ready, one member accidentally fired a shot, injuring three. This was captured in my livestream.

After the shooting, the #NFAC formed a perimeter around the scene at Baxter Park. They allowed police and EMS in to tend to the three wounded, who were taken away in stretchers. I've seen it reported that the injuries are "not life threatening."
Police recovered the firearm that apparently was accidentally discharged. I don't believe the individual was arrested.
It looks like a Henry-style lever action rifle or shotgun, but I'm not 100% sure of the model.

Fischer is beginning his press conference. Says he agrees with AG Cameron's statement about the investigation being thorough and urges the attorney general to keep him updated on the #BreonnaTaylor investigation.
Good morning, y'all. We've gotten a lot of new followers over the past few weeks, so let us tell you about what we do and how you can support our ongoing coverage of #Louisvilleprotest, #BreonnaTaylor, #DavidMcAtee and #coronavirus in our region. 1/
We are a public radio, non-profit newsroom. Our reporters and editors have been on the ground reporting on the demonstrations for social justice in Louisville. They're live-tweeting and taking photos and video so you can see what is happening in our city. 2/
And they've come back and done deeper dives to provide context to this moment in history, like this story from @RyanVanVelzer about the history and effects of the crowd dispersal weapons that LMPD has used on demonstrators: wfpl.org/the-weapons-us… 3/
Se o assassinato de #GeorgeFloyd lembrou o de #EricGarner, a resposta da população lembra a resposta à absolvição dos policiais que espancaram #RodneyKing em 1992, em Los Angeles. Mineápolis em convulsão social #minneapolisriots
