They say, when people show you who they are, believe them. I worry, some of these officers are continually showing us and we are not believing them. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s just a few Facebook posts though. It’s just a few violent assaults. It’s just a few non-lethal projectiles. It’s just a few chokeholds. It’s just a few deaths. Just a few, just a few, just a few. — PolitiTweet.org

I, despite all of my privilege, would not feel safe in any scenario. I cannot even begin to truly understand what it is like for others. Everywhere we turn, we are reminded of how deeply embedded racism is in modern day American policing and criminal justice. — PolitiTweet.org

“Hello, 9-1-1, I have an emergency. I’m a visible Muslim woman though. Can you please be sure to send an officer who is not Islamophobic or otherwise racist?” — PolitiTweet.org

What if the officer who responds to my call is an officer who knew about the comments but chose to remain silent? What if the officer who responds to my call is an officer who was trained by the commenting officers? — PolitiTweet.org

On the one hand, we are facing a rise in hate crimes. On the other hand, more and more I am having a hard time choosing to call the police or urging others to. What if the officer who responds to my call is the one who posted the comments? — PolitiTweet.org

"I say re-purpose the hijabs into nooses." 😡🤯😡 That is one of many hateful comments SJPD officers are accused of posting on Facebook. Do I look as exasperated as I feel? I told this and half a dozen additional reporters, from a safe distance, that I’m at my wit’s end. https://t.co/lJrwS3lYDl — PolitiTweet.org

But @slpng_giants, your partners at @ADL are doing worse, protecting Israel’s engagement in apartheid and land theft at any cost. — PolitiTweet.org

This is such important work. Concerned though that it’s led [and even trademarked] by the faux civil rights group @ADL. Are you unfamiliar with or overlooking their hate @slpng_giants? — PolitiTweet.org
