No mention here of how a Buffalo PD spox put out the “tripped and fell” statement earlier. And two be clear, there were many more than two officers who did nothing even as they saw a man lying on the ground bleeding out — PolitiTweet.org

Peaceful pro-democracy demonstrators, so many of them young students, were killed and arrested by the military under martial law. These protesters were fighting for fundamental rights like economic freedom and justice and a free press. This was 31 years ago in Beijing, China. https://t.co/xwBz71FuIC — PolitiTweet.org

Incredibly striking that we're in the middle of a pandemic and nationwide unrest and the tone of Obama's rare on-camera message is largely optimistic — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Obama says looking at the protests of the past week, it's clear there's "a far more representative cross section of America out on the streets, peacefully protesting, who felt moved to do something because of the injustices that they have seen." — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Obama also says about all the talk about what's happening now being reminiscent of the chaos of the 60s: "There is something different here." — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Obama addresses what he says he sees as the voting vs. protest and participation vs. civil disobedience debate. "This is not an either or. This is a both and," he says. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Obama also addresses the law enforcement community, saying the "vast majority" of them want to protect and serve. Says he's been "heartened" to see some officers marching alongside protesters and showing restraint. — PolitiTweet.org

Obama: "When sometimes I feel despair, I just see what’s happening with young people all across the country and the talent and the voice and the sophistication that they’re displaying and it makes me feel optimistic." — PolitiTweet.org

Obama: "In some ways, as tragic as these past few weeks have been, as difficult and scary and uncertain as they’ve been, they’ve also been an incredible opportunity for people to be awakened." — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

This virtual town hall today will be the first time we see Barack Obama address George Floyd's death on camera. An aide says his remarks will in part be about turning "protest into policy," and panel discussion will address police reform, etc. https://t.co/fUbDLCyBow — PolitiTweet.org
