The @ACLU spent decades demanding robust due process for everyone, no matter how notorious, before declared guilty.

Now - drowning in #Resistance cash and new hires who want it to be a standard liberal group - it leads online mobs declaring people guilty of murder with no trial: https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1301666470460633089

The @ACLU still has great lawyers (including its Executive Director) who believe in its core mission of being a civil liberties group, not a partisan arm of DNC or a dreary trite liberal group.

But they're a minority, overrun by newly hired people with a very different agenda.

You don't have to love the police or support what they did to believe @ACLU of all groups shouldn't be declaring them guilty of murder with no due process - just like you didn't have to love GITMO detainees to demand due process for them (as @ACLU did). That's what due process is

It appears that @ACLU deleted its “murder” tweet from yesterday and replaced it with this more thoughtful and careful critique of the killing of Deon Kay by the DC police: https://twitter.com/aclu/status/1301946446783164417
