Too many good quotes from our organizers @SeanBlackmon9@valocipede but here's some highlights:
Why does Mayor Bowser want to pull money from public health during a pandemic? DC wants to defund the people's needs and give more money to police. We need a dramatic reallocation of funds from police, who have failed the people. WE AGREE @SeanBlackmon9

TOMORROW The DC Council’s Judiciary Committee will be holding an oversight hearing on the DC Police Department’s performance. So let’s see... how has the MPD performed over the last year? #DefundMPD#NoMoreStopAndFrisk
It stopped releasing data on stop-and-frisks, yet AGAIN violating the law. And again, when it was sued and forced to follow the law, it turned out MPD made a huge number of stops and a huge majority of those stops were of Black people. #NoMoreStopAndFrisk dcist.com/story/21/02/17…

ABOUT LAST NIGHT. @DCPoliceDept, which claimed to be offended and betrayed by the idea that it was in any way in need of reform, used pepper spray, rubber bullets, and flash bangs on protesters in order to take down mutual aid stations and tents provided for homeless residents.
There is no blaming everything on federal agencies this time. While US Park Police were also involved this was @MayorBowser's @DCPoliceDept leading the way. The police department she wants to give $19 million on top of the $560 million it already has. #DefundMPD#DefundDCPolice

The camera rebate program was part of @MayorBowser's terrible, unconstitutional, 2015 "crime bill" that was folded into the #NEARact. Since the Act passed in 2016, they have funded 10,000 surveillance cameras. In that same time, here's where other NEAR Act progrmas stand. THREAD
