On Singapore trip, she's asked if she's getting a refund or a credit. "There's a process in place where the city is protected in terms of purchases" and says the city is "protected" and that they're either refundable and/or can be applied to other trips. — PolitiTweet.org

Watching a former community organizer who ran on a progressive agenda like Mayor Cantrell go all in against a civil rights consent decree is wild — PolitiTweet.org

The mayor just said "we share everything, especially with the media" which is just absolutely not true. — PolitiTweet.org

"lets talk about all the great things" police do, the chief says. His office refused to comment on former Det. Rotton's refusal to make an illegal arrest. Which seems like a pretty good thing for a cop to do — PolitiTweet.org

Ironically, when a police tried to do the right thing, he alleges brass tried to force him to make an illegal arrest, and when he still refused, they punished him. Which we wrote about here: https://t.co/ToacofYmSD — PolitiTweet.org

Remarkable that Cantrell ran on a very progressive platform and came up as a community organizer and now is in lockstep with conservative "law and order" dogma. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor cantrell just seemed to accuse the Ind. Police Monitor of being biased against police. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor says her priority is to get rid of the consent decree so police "can protect themselves" which, given that the decree is there to keep police from, among other things, killing people and abusing rights, is wild. — PolitiTweet.org

Just a few weeks ago, the mayor was arguing policing our way out of crime was not possible. — PolitiTweet.org

The mayor says she opposes the consent decree, which is in place because of systemic problems at NOPD. But she doesn't like the paperwork cops have to do or that they're punished under it — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder if we're going to also have ceremonies and new cars for other Covid front line workers, like the folks who worked at CVS or Rouses throughout the pandemic — PolitiTweet.org

Cantrell says she's going to hold "ceremonies" for cops to tell them they're awesome, and is going to spend American Rescue Act money on new cars for them. — PolitiTweet.org
