This is a high school student in Camden, AR, who was held in a chokehold by a uniformed police officer to the point where his feet left the ground. His offense? He was arguing with another student. This is unacceptable. Spread the word.
Apparently this police officer has been “relieved of duty” pending an investigation. Just so everyone understands what that means, it means he’s on a paid leave right now. Not working. But not fired. Not arrested.

Absolutely. Just not optimistic about that actually happening. AR is the same state that reinstated a PO who violated the use of force policy and shot a black man. katv.com/news/local/pul…

Not only is there a lifetime voting ban for anyone convicted of a felony in Iowa, (as of January 2020, Iowa is the *only* state that imposes a lifetime voting bans), but if you try to vote, they go after you and prosecute you for voting.

In Iowa, a Clinton man who is disabled from a brain injury was prosecuted after he mistakenly believed poll workers would alert him if there was a problem with his voting eligibility.
Eight states (Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Wyoming) allow some, but not all, persons with felony convictions to vote after having completed their sentences. Iowa is the ONLY STATE THAT HAS A LIFETIME BAN. ACLU: aclu.org/issues/voting-…

This morning while walking my dog, I found an unattended pair of Ray Ban sunglasses in a case. I picked them up and looked around to see if their owner had dropped them. Then I looked for NYPD officers waiting to arrest whoever picked them up. (THREAD 1/x)
You may be wondering why I thought by picking these sunglasses up, I might be a target for arrest. We see an uptick in “Lucky Bag” cases around the holidays. The NYPD calls it “Operation Lucky Bag,” where they plant unattended valuables & arrest the person who picks them up. 2/x
Often the valuables are sticking out of a bag or purse (hence “lucky bag”), which is left out in public and watched by the NYPD. This practice targets poor people in low income communities, not career criminals. It is patently disgusting. 3/x
