From today's Chicago Sun Times, "Chicago saw its highest number of gun violence victims in a single weekend this year with 102 people shot across the city from Friday evening to Monday morning, 14 of them fatally. Five of those killed were minors." Their lives matter too. — PolitiTweet.org

Father's Day 2020 "...in this time of pandemic, upheaval and social discord, the big girls and their brothers are necessarily distant... I worry about my far-flung flock daily. There is an old saying that ‘you are only as happy as your unhappiest child,' https://t.co/nVj0iUMWsL — PolitiTweet.org

Later today this community will commemorate the lost lives of two lovely children, Chasey, 12, and Scout ,14 who brought joy to the Scaravelli family and perished together in a freak yard accident. Hug your kids. Life is so fragile. — PolitiTweet.org

Making #Juneteenth a national holiday is a solid positive gesture of good will & compassion. — PolitiTweet.org

@wtam1100 @UHRainbowBabies The cops who responded to the Scaravilli tragedy were heroes. They exemplified what community policing is all about. they tried to save those little girls, and when they couldn’t they stayed and comforted the family. #Roadkill @wtam1100 — PolitiTweet.org

2 very significant days in African-American history. It's #Juneteenth which celebrates the completion of notification to all former slaves that they'd been emancipated. Also, as @realDonaldTrump goes to #Tulsa we remember it was scene in 1921 of worst incident of racial violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Juneteenth & If it’s Friday, it’s ⁦@foxandfriends⁩ today celebrating #SCOTUS decision granting reprieve to Dreamers, those brought here before 2007 under 16. These are the best immigrants all high school grads or military. Let’s keep ‘em! ⁦@wtam1100⁩ & #Roadkill https://t.co/P8KVp0YQeh — PolitiTweet.org

Now let’s get together with a sensible bill that gives this worthy group #DACA a way to make their dreams of citizenship a reality. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

@realDonaldTrump is tough on illegal immigration. But he's also expressed to me & others that he feels compassion toward undocumented immigrants brought here as young children without any fault of their own: the #Dreamers. Now #SCOTUS has given @POTUS an opportunity to compromise — PolitiTweet.org

Black guys shouldn’t get shot in the back when they’re stopped by white cops when drunk in Wendy’s. Situations like #RayshardBrooks must be de-escalated. Take the keys. Give the guy a citation or summons. Don’t shot him in the back. ⁦@SenatorTimScott⁩ is on right track. https://t.co/xRB3HA8yNr — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Police buffs lose credibility when they stubbornly defend bad cops caught on tape doing bad things. Sleepy drunk trying to get greasy burger should not be at risk of getting shot in the back. Law enforcement is tough & dangerous & not made easier by police buffs blind to excesses — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

When their men and boys go out for evening, Black families should not fear cops more than crooks. Justice must be colorblind. Fans of cops should encourage resolution of encounters not obviously criminal w minimal force. Save macho policing for encounters with hardened criminals. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

No way Wendy's encounter should've ended w #RayshardBrooks dead. I advocate for cops, but you can't overlook unnecessary escalation of epic 43 minute encounter that in a bygone era could've ended with drunk taking cab or Uber home. Black men face special challenges dealing w cops — PolitiTweet.org

2 white cops in Atlanta charged, 1 facing death for killing drunk Wendy's diner #RayshardBrooks. Politically & legally challenged DA #PaulHoward wildly overcharged. Manslaughter appropriate. #GarrettRolfe shot Brooks in back "without originally intending to kill the victim." — PolitiTweet.org

I know drunk people who went to Wendy’s on Friday night and got scolded — PolitiTweet.org

This doesn’t happen to white guys. — PolitiTweet.org

When was the last time a fleeing white guy got shot on the back? — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

For what it’s worth Officer Rolfe has been grotesquely overcharged. He is arguably guilty of Manslaughter. There is no chance for conviction of capital Felony Murder. If you seek the death penalty for this tragedy, what do you charge the intentional mass murderer or child killer? — PolitiTweet.org

@NoamLaden Miss my ole non-mustachioed sidekick @NoamLaden — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Update the “other cop” Devin Brosnan now says he has not (yet) agreed to testify vs former Officer Rolfe, now accused of capital Felony Murder. Death penalty feels an overcharge, partly a product of Atlanta’s roiled environment. Manslaughter is appropriate + assaults= 20 to life. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Update: they threw the book at him. Officer Garrett Rolfe is charged with 11 counts including Felony Murder & Aggravated Assault. He’s facing the death penalty. He allegedly said “I got him” after he shot #RayshardBrooks twice in the back. The other cop has turned State’s witness — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Manslaughter in Georgia= “...a person is provoked into killing another individual without originally intending to kill the victim.” — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Likely Atlanta Officer #GarrettRolfe will be charged in death of #RayshardBrooks Cop shot him twice in the back. Legal question is whether Rolfe feared for his life-Was Brooks a deadly threat? My opinion: Manslaughter is the appropriate charge. Jury will decide. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Community in shock & mourning loss of the Scaravelli girls who’ll be buried Saturday. #AuntJemima beats the dust #UncleBens soon to follow as Confederate statues come down & history rewritten. Proud of ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ for outlawing chokeholds ⁦@wtam1100⁩ #Roadkill https://t.co/KmPu81MBR5 — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

#AuntJemima heading to the same garbage heap of history as the Confederate battle flag & statues of Rebel commanders-most erected during era of #JimCrow. Now sights are set on #UncleBen's legendary rice. Too bad their archaic imagery suddenly offends so many. Times change fast. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Malignant hypocrisy on vivid display as left defends its massive anti-police street rallies & marches while simultaneously heaping huge criticism on @realDonaldTrump planned indoor Tulsa rally. Still, hypocrisy aside, @POTUS should move to an outdoor stadium just to shut them up. — PolitiTweet.org
