Every Dem mayor right now is like "we thank you for your peaceful protests, we've heard you, we are doing nothing to fix any of these problems, your curfew is 2 minutes from now and I've given the cops brand new aerodynamic beating sticks"
What has Jenny Durkan done to mitigate this situation other than call in the cops to suppress it and then justify it by blaming it all on outsiders? Ask the same question for Kenney and Frey. That fucking clown de Blasio. What urgent reforms are they rushing to get enacted?
All of these mayors, the Good Guys we're told, think saying 'thank u for ur peaceful protest' counts as action while they spend more time rushing from one excuse to another to justify why they are STILL taking the cops words as gospel while cracking down on dissent.
I want a 'pragmatic progressive', some real blue no matter who dipshit, to look me in the eyes and explain to me how they believe their team can be Deeply Concerned With Enacting Police Reform while also uncritically parroting talking points from police chiefs & cop union heads.
Republicans and Democrats when it comes to helping struggling people vs Republicans and Democrats when it comes to using state violence to suppress dissent.
Half of the responses to this are people tagging their local mayors and saying "sounds like you." Different mayors and cities, all over the country. Seems like the real outside agitators are the ones sitting behind the big desks at city hall kowtowing to the police chiefs.
