1/7 Now and then people ask why we sometimes post pictures of crime scenes that may be graphic to some. I think there's a role for more & less graphic info to share at the right times. Regardless, we must never forget their names & faces, they must never just become numbers! 
2/ There's no use in just constantly sharing graphic material that ends up being completely ignored because of the extent of the violence etc. But, in my opinion, the biggest reasons for the state of SA is not government or state failure, but due to apathy & silent diplomacy.
3/ The fact that we sometimes don't show the world what happens to good men like Mario Nel, (SAPS member shot dead in Motherwell yesterday), or Siphokazi Booi, or Terrence Tegg killed by Clover strikers and children like Mia Botha & Bokgabo Poo, results in people forgetting them.

"HW is now a despicable, vile leftist." As much as I laugh at these unironic Ls, it shows the kind of irrational rage that Trump cult victims are ready to direct at anyone who gets in their way.
I'm a #NeverTrump conservative, not a leftist. No one is allowed to leave the cult.

A must-read 8-tweet thread:
Last week, prior to police killing Daunte Wright, I gave an interview on behalf of @thestreettrust to @KOINNews about the defunding of Portland's traffic enforcement division.
When they asked why I didn't think more policing was the answer to traffic violence, I said this:
When they asked why I didn't think more policing was the answer to traffic violence, I said this:
Racial bias in traffic enforcement is a well-documented reality. One life lost to police violence at a traffic stop is too many. Kendra James needlessly lost her life during a traffic stop. Sandra Bland. Philando Castille. Walter Scott. Jordan Edwards. #SayHerName #SayHisName
At this critical time of reckoning with Portland's legacy of white supremacy and racist policing, we must come together to innovate new ways of ensuring everyone in our community has access to safe and just streets, regardless of their skin color, housing status, or zip code.

According to a 2018 report, Austin Police has the worst reputation in the nation for killing people experiencing mental health crises. Police Departments, especially APD, are not qualified to respond to mental health emergencies. Police don’t keep anyone in these situations safe

Thread: #GeorgeFloyd murals in the US & around the world (Barron's)
“This wall is part of a large mural that’s on the other side that has a picture of Martin Luther King facing Malcom X, trying to show the struggle, the social struggle & racial struggle that’s been happening for so long"-- artist Octavio Logo (KNWA Fayettville).
Syrian artists Aziz Asmar & Anis Hamdoun painted their #GeorgeFloyd mural “to call for peace and love.” Asmar said Floyd’s death “by suffocation” reminded him of Syrian civilians “killed by suffocation after the Syrian regime hit them with chemical weapons" (Fox5DC).
police mostly stayed back. these guys were just cycling round in circles? #boston #SayHisName #GeorgeFloyd

George Floyd, 46, foi assassinado pela polícia em Minneapolis na última segunda-feira. Imagens mostram policial AJOELHANDO-SE sobre o pescoço do homem, que implorava pela vida: "I Can't Breathe" (Não consigo respirar) dizia. FBI investiga o caso.
Protestos estão ocorrendo desde então. Pessoas, como o jogador de basquete Lebron James, manifestaram-se sobre o caso, que mais uma vez escancara a violência contra negros nos EUA; Em 2014, Eric Garner morreu de forma semelhante. Ele repetiu "Não consigo respirar" 11 vezes.
A versão da polícia, divulgada em comunicado, afirma que os policiais respondiam uma denúncia de que um homem tentava usar cartões falsos em uma loja; e segue pelo caminho INJUSTIFICÁVEL de que "houve resistência" por parte do detido. Mais infos no link.

Something that bummed me out this morning: I see #AmyCooper's name across my timeline and trending (for good reason) but had to search and click into several articles before seeing #GeorgeFloyd's name and not just "a black man killed by police".
Even with his name, there are so many names that even when we #SayHisName it feels drowned out. I can't even begin to understand how that fatigue/trauma feels to a black person. I have a lot more in common with Amy Cooper yet feel discouraged as to what I can do in all of this.
I know many of my (white) peers outside Twitter won't know this happened or worse have the apathy and (un)conscious bias that create Amy Cooper's in the first place. I want to know #GeorgeFloyd's name but moreso I want to know how to change myself and my fellow Amy's and Karen's

1/ On 02.10.19, a 911-call was made, reporting a black man fell asleep in his car & blocked a Taco Bell's drive through. Six polices showed up, w/ guns in hands & minutes later, estimated over 25 rounds were shot & killed the black man. #LetUsLive #AB392

2/ . The body-cam finally is released to reveal that the 6 officers was not trying figure out how wake this black man up, how to get his attention, but rather, get ready to “snatch his ass [out of the car]”, & “If he reaches for it, you know what to do”. Basically, shoot him!
3/ Full disclosure, a gun was sitting on this black’s man lap. But does that mean illegal? No. And if this man was asleep, worrying about him grabbing it before the six police officers who already have guns in their hands in ready position is reasonable? Probably not!
