You know, whoever this cop is — this is where the problem starts.
This jackass, like many believes that there is such a thing as a blue life. News flash jackass, it’s a job. The people who wear the badge are all nationalities,
the problem is too many of you have elevated a profession above humanity.
What a disgusting individual. I would say more, but I’m trying tonight to stay lifted above the hatred.
#Repost@shaunking 🤬🤬My God I’m so angry.
Let me tell you what you are seeing.
The @ColumbusPolice had just shot and killed 16 year old Ma’Khia Bryant.
People are distraught.
And police are yelling BLUE LIVES MATTER to the bystanders.
They don’t even care about the baby that was killed.
Listen to me. This is why we say we say abolish the police. It’s why we say defund the police.
The whole system is rotten.
Call the Columbus Police NOW @:

In December, they said we had no chance at all. Three weeks ago, they polled us at 6%. We got the phone calls, we heard the chatter, we just kept pushing. Head down and working hard to connect with THE PEOPLE.
We won over 140 precincts in New Orleans. We shook up the political establishment and if we had one more week of runway we’d be in a runoff today, heading to an upset.
The Senators had over $1 million a piece helping them via their campaigns or independent expenditures.
We raised $500k in small dollar contributions and we were inches away from an upset last night.
I know the typical person that ran for office disappears for a few weeks, and doesn’t publicly talk about the race much.
Thank you to each individual who believed in this campaign. Thank you to every person who gave their resources, time, and positive energy in our direction.
Last night we came 1500 votes short of knocking out a sitting state Senator that’s been elected 20 years.
No one thought we had a shot. The polls said we were at 6%, we finished with 21.3% of the vote. That’s due to my amazing team, thank you for everything you sacrificed and have to this team. I appreciate you. We earned every single vote we got.
We had almost no institutional support, but we had a belief in progressive values and that THE PEOPLE deserve more.
To my family, thank you for sacrificing in ways most will never know so I can stand and fight for what I believe in.
Black Doctor forced by police to pay movers or go to jail. This officer had no reason to touch Dr. West, this matter should’ve been addressed in civil court, because it’s a dispute over payment.
Comments from the legal team give more clarity into this situation.
“On December 28, 2020, Dr. Threvia West was confronted with a bill from a moving company that grossly exceeded their previously agreed-upon price.
While the moving company had estimated her task as a three-hour job, it took them eleven hours to complete it, subsequently charging her triple the quoted amount. When Dr. West calmly and reasonably protested the excessive charges, the police were inexplicably called to the scene
My Grandma Emma passed away today at the beautiful age of 88.
This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions. This weekend it became clear my grandmother was starting to transition from this life.
I did my best to stay focused on our objectives while also trying to be a good grandson.
So on the day we announced I was running for Congress, I sat by her bed and let her watch the video. She couldn’t speak, but she watched the whole thing and attempted to give me a sign
of affirmation. My grandmother was just as direct as me, she never mixed her words and she meant what she said. My heart hurts because she’s gone, but my spirit rejoices because I know where she is.
Emma was my biological mother’s mom. My mother has been deceased 35 years now.
