I& #39;ve seen a number of police chiefs come out with public statement unequivocally condemning what happened in the Floyd video -- an extent of public condemnation from law enforcement that would have been unthinkable 5 years ago https://twitter.com/ChiefDavidRoddy/status/1265758198608400386">https://twitter.com/ChiefDavi...

Unsurprisingly, @TomJackmanWP was all over this angle already: https://www.washingtonpost.com/crime-law/2020/05/27/police-chiefs-react-with-disgust-minneapolis-killing-try-reassure-their-own-cities/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/crime-law...
Police chiefs react with disgust to Minneapolis death, try to reassure their own cities

American police chiefs thought they were making progress in de-escalation, but the death of George Floyd shows more is needed.

Many of the chiefs who& #39;ve condemned are known reformers, and one could debate if this precise video a few years earlier may have sparked these responses. Still, having covered this issue a lot, I& #39;m struck by the amount and extent of police chiefs weighing in on the Floyd shooting
That said, I imagine my activist sources will say: words after the fact are nice. George Floyd is still dead
(correction to two tweets up: Floyd wasn& #39;t shot. My brain/fingers sometimes default to "police shooting" cause that& #39;s what our data collection was. Not gonna delete and screw up the thread - you all knew what I meant. Goodnight friends!)
