I think it raises questions. I don't see the video the way you do. He clearly pushed the guy, but I think it was in reaction to him reaching for his body and his duty belt and the officer reacted in a charged and quickly moving situation. — PolitiTweet.org

It happened very quickly though. Watch the video. In an instant the protester had his hand near the belt as the two were walking toward each other. Quick move by the protester, quick response from the cop who may have thought he was reaching for his gun. — PolitiTweet.org

I think it needs far more investigation before making a judgement either way. Reaching for the duty belt is what seems to have caused the officer to push him away. I don't know whether the officer should have used another maneuver to keep the guy from falling on his head. — PolitiTweet.org

Question: The guy was reaching for the cop's duty belt and was waving his phone near his radio. Did you watch the video? If I walked quickly up to a police officer in the Capitol and tried to reach for his gun, what do you think would happen? That is a fair question. — PolitiTweet.org

Barr backs chokehold ban: On @SpecialReport tonight, Attorney General William Barr says: "I think we should ban chokeholds,unless a police officer is confronted with lethal force." House bill bans federal law enforcement chokehold and withholds funding for local police who use it — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe getting gel nails is what you were planning. Others are more worried about their businesses, medical care, the economy and the education and mental health of their children, for starters. Some are a little worried their college savings have vanished. — PolitiTweet.org

Susan Ferrechio @susanferrechio

The legislation unveiled today by @HouseDemocrats includes incentivizing a national ban on police use of the chokehold. It's similar (with important differences) to a measure drafted by @RepJeffries. I wrote about it, and other proposals, here: https://t.co/933YnGKU2I — PolitiTweet.org

I don't know what the solution is other than keep explaining and talk solutions that would satisfy you. I don't believe people are inherently racist. My kids (different races) and their friends (different races) are proving that every single day. I sure hope we don't poison them. — PolitiTweet.org

@WesleyLowery It's not a bad option if someone in the profession is turning to activism. But opinion writing is also an option. Both ways get the message out. No matter what your cause. Reporters who are saying their existence is political - better to be on the opinion side or go into politics — PolitiTweet.org

That's really not fair and you are twisting what Josh said. Plenty of room for opinion writers. They are journalists, too. They are some of the best journalists, actually. Has nothing to do with color. — PolitiTweet.org

@HotlineJosh Or opinion writing. There are other options and you don't have to abandon the business. — PolitiTweet.org

I think Senate will still look at another economic aid package but passage hinges on whether GOP can cut a deal with Democrats. The two sides are getting further and further apart on cost and scope and that is why it may never happen. — PolitiTweet.org
