It costs an estimated $790 to fully dress a police officer in riot gear.

It costs an estimated $11 to dress a medical worker in PPE.

Which one of these groups do you think is running low on equipment across the nation?

The officer “fired his weapon at them, striking all three with rubber bullets. The shooting was unprovoked.” https://t.co/4SqdC6o8zY

After being ambushed by the police and shot 8 times, Breonna Taylor was still alive for six minutes after being gunned down. Taylor was then left uncared for, for 20 minutes.

Tear gas is WAY more dangerous than the cops say. It can cause long-lasting harm, damages skin, seeps into bystanders’ homes and contaminates what it touches.

Calling it “nonlethal” ignores critical info. We are in the middle of a respiratory pandemic

I’ve spent last 5 hours analyzing footage of NYPD brutality against protestors. A lot on my mind, but forefront: If anyone I represented were accused of anything close to the indiscriminate savagery perpetrated by cops, they’d face violent felony charges & years in prison.

Police used ketamine to sedate Anita Springsteen’s boyfriend.

In 2019, Elijah McClain died after police injected him with ketamine.

This is a crisis.

Anita Springsteen isn’t being silent anymore: it’s time to END police use of ketamine in Colorado.

7 states (CA, FL, KY, LA, MD, OR, RI) have these restrictions on misconduct investigations, letting police avoid accountability. In Louisiana, investigations get tossed if they aren’t closed in 60 days but the officers can’t be questioned by investigators for the first 30 days.🤔

Under Florida’s Police “Bill of Rights” law, if the police take longer than 180 days to investigate themselves for misconduct it becomes illegal to discipline any officers involved. In this case the sheriff took *182* days so this cop gets reinstated despite being found guilty. https://t.co/ftNi7qAZro
