Jacob Frey on MSNBC: “We need to abolish the behavior, we don’t need to abolish the police”
Keisha Lance Bottoms really filibustering and amounting to say “its bad police are killing black people.”
Hayes asked why is that happening in her city and she said “we have to ask how our officers are being trained” ??? Just saying literally nothing
Mayor Cantrell of NOLA wants to remove the federal consent decree and is bragging about implementing the 8 Cant Wait policies lol
Garcetti doing the “well we overburden police” framinf behind him introducing the (small) budget cuts to LAPD. Every Mayor but Frey is much better at filibustering.
Now we get to hear from the head of the Memphis police union, the only black cop at the head of a police union. They held a demonstration against police brutality apparently so we know exactly what the purpose is here.
He’s advocating for “changing it from the inside” so that “other people can’t police you” god this is such dogshit
Now we’re talking about how rough the police have it here, and let’s not overreact because VIOLENT CRIME!!!
Now he’s fearmongering about a shortage of police officers because millennials are going to college and getting phds instead lol
I have to go pick up dinner but I’ll tweet about the rest of this town hall when im back, but expecting just more dog shit
Frey doing his “ive read books, i know racism” moment by listing off all the bad things that have happened in America, but offering nothing about how to change anything.
Now we have questions from people zooming in. But these are people from various groups it appears so obviously curated. First question is to Cantrell about Confederate monuments
She said she supports getting rid of them lol
Frey got asked if he’d support Congress passing reparations??? Frey said yes but all of these questions ask nothing material of these people in power. This is a joke.
