Another birthday missed at the hands of police violence. Breonna Taylor should be alive today. 84 days after her death, her killers have not been charged or arrested. It shouldn't take nationwide protests for justice to be served. #JusticeforBreonnaTaylor https://t.co/TzHudKjE3D — PolitiTweet.org

We can't reward bad policing with federal $. Too often, new pools of money are created for law enforcement to learn training they should already have. It's time police departments use their resources to meet the standards of the community they serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan

I'm introing the Police Training & Accountability Act. We need nationalized standards for all police defined by a civilian commission. We need a Civilian-Law Enforcement Bill of Rights to set expectations for interactions with police. These will be prerequisites for federal $. https://t.co/rCk2gyFQxe — PolitiTweet.org

Every time Trump says we're "winning" the global fight against COVID-19... Remember that only 8 out of 195 countries have more cases per capita than the US: Qatar San Marino Andorra Bahrain Kuwait Luxembourg Singapore Chile And here's just some of who's doing better than us: https://t.co/G2ZYHya5vK — PolitiTweet.org

We're in the middle of a global pandemic. Tear gas or similar chem agents should never be used on protesters—especially now when it increases the likelihood of spreading COVID-19. An authoritarian dictator may not care about that, but the President of the United States should. — PolitiTweet.org

The Minneapolis PD uses force against Black people at 7x the rate of white people. 20% of the city's population is Black, but they face 60% of the police's violence. This is systemic & unacceptable. No more band-aids, we need to fix policing in America. https://t.co/U7TYvSCy1R — PolitiTweet.org

31 years to the day after the Chinese government swept through Tiananmen Square protests with tanks and armed troops. The result was martial law and thousands murdered for protesting their government. Is that the America you want @SenTomCotton? https://t.co/NKMeUaqOHu — PolitiTweet.org

Police brutality has gone on too long and too widespread for one arrest—or even four arrests—to solve this problem. No more band-aids. Together, @USProgressives are working with @TheBlackCaucus to ensure that we see a slate of systemic solutions come forward. Justice NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

This is unconscionable. Protesting is the people's first amendment right. The president is suspending democracy once again, this time to create a militarized police state where he can monitor all dissent. NO fascist USA. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan

This administration has sent Wisconsin <20% of the supplies we need and some are completely unusable. Meanwhile, he has no problem deploying military personnel to squash peaceful protests. These are the President's priorities. In every crisis, his incompetence is magnified. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan

Two of the largest U.S. producers of tear gas? Owned by private equity firms. Make no mistake, state-sanctioned violence against peaceful protesters lines the pockets of predatory private equity firms. Circle of life—GOP militarism to corporate wallets. https://t.co/zo5TKiEqrG — PolitiTweet.org

The President literally just had militarized police shoot peaceful protesters with tear gas & rubber bullets for a photo-op. Remember this picture. This is fascism. This is our want-to-be dictator. https://t.co/EoOJHTiXsV — PolitiTweet.org

The President of the United States encouraging governors to act violently towards protesters from the safety of his basement bunker. Police violence is what these protests are about. Militarizing the police is not the solution. Ending systemic racism in policing is a start. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan

Trump is ignoring WI. We've consistently requested supplies from @fema, but only received ~18% of them. Some supplies are completely unusable. Plus the CDC refuses to help the clinical/private labs conducting the majority of tests. @SenatorBaldwin and I are demanding answers. https://t.co/Fxyb9uPCjl — PolitiTweet.org
