right after this happened. He looked visibly shaken and I thought it was due to the SB140 hearing. He then relayed to me what happened. When I went to the desk an hour later after my meeting to ask the officers, no one denied it. 1/
With the information just released showing that Tortuguita was shot 57 times AND that the cops lied about them shooting first, I decided it’s time that I share this experience I had at the GA state Capitol on March 14th. No amount of training can fix this!

Fair or not, our base needs to be inspired. Our coalition isn't just going to fall in line. And the thing is yes, POTUS led the most successful economic policies of our time. 5/

And, with the recent news about ruling Tortuguita’s death a homicide, I’ve lost all ability to grant any grace or benefit of the doubt on this issue. Cop city cannot be built because we’ve been shown time and again that communities are being lied to. 3/

BREAKING: I counted at least 15 people arrested, a mix of students, non-students and professors at Emory University.
This comes after a demonstration on campus. Per organizers, protestors were demanding "total divestment from Israeli apartheid and Cop City."
