@wtam1100 @RobOn1100 @CLEpolice This podcast features the experiences of people of color & others with police. Instructive how different those encounters are based on race. #Roadkill — PolitiTweet.org

Remember #GeorgeFloyd Remember epidemic of #ChicagoMurders Reform cops, but most are good, honest & sincere, don’t throw good cops in well-run departments under the bus in hysterical move to reform. https://t.co/ornO39r68x — PolitiTweet.org

Now #WHO saying #Asymptomatic spread of #CoronaVirus is extremely rare. Does that mean locking down society was not really necessary (since all you have to do is avoid obviously sick people)? And isn't this more evidence of WHO's incompetence? — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Aside from tragic loss of Black Lives in Chicago a week ago Sunday, most alarming thing of city’s bloodletting was how it was studiously ignored by big time media focused on horrible #GeorgeFloydMurder Black on Black crime however atrocious doesn’t fit mainstream media narrative — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Moves to #DefundThePolice are spiteful & self-destructive-But aside from banning chokeholds. Cops should do everything consistent with good policing to not be ghetto armies of occupation. Demilitarize cops-integrate PD’s-incorporate community policing-cops should not be strangers — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Best police reform right would be an Executive Order from @realDonaldTrump immediately banning all choke holds in all law enforcement agencies that receive federal funds. Do it @POTUS it’s right thing. & point to #Chicago as a Longtime Democrat run city-spiraling out of control. — PolitiTweet.org

Update: At least 4 of the 18 victims killed Sunday in Chicago were young black women, including a high school student and a college freshman. — PolitiTweet.org

@wtam1100 @RobOn1100 @realDonaldTrump #Roadkill focuses on my simple proposal for friend @realDonaldTrump 1-acknowledge black men face special challenges dealing with police 2- #GeorgeFloyd would be alive if he were white 3-abolish police chokeholds #Roadkill — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

18 black men were killed Sunday in #Chicago by other black men. It was most violent single day in 6 decades, per Chicago Sun Times. Will #BlackLivesMattters speak out? Will anyone kneel for them? Will #NYT allow an Op Ed denouncing the Ghetto Civil War? 25 total dead over weekend — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Growing up #NYT was journalistic virtue. There were failures-like not crusading to save Europe’s Jews in WWII-But it was The Newspaper of Record progressively reflecting a diverse community. Now it’s prisoner of a politically correct leftist junta unwilling to allow dissent. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Sadly the kneeling controversy will overshadow the fact many who support the movement to reform cops, will not kneel during the National Anthem out of respect for Old Glory — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

To kneel or not to kneel? I fear that will be the question the answer of which determines a person's political correctness on campus & in sporting events. Will it drag sports into politics? Isn't it also a recognition that without African-Americans there would be no NBA or NFL? — PolitiTweet.org

To reform cops, we must find the sweet spot between strength & compassion. Move to abolish police is dopey and will last until someone needs 911. Cleveland-based #WTAM1100 & #Roadkill the podcast https://t.co/0NVT2439aA — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

To reform cops, we must find sweet spot between strength & compassion. As 1st step, focus on what is attainable: A declaration from @realDonaldTrump that black men face special challenges with cops; #GeorgeFloyd would be alive if he were white; Abolish police chokeholds. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Movement to #DefundThePolice will lose credibility 1st time a resident of #Minneapolis is driven by a burglar or rapist or mugger to call 911 and a voice machine answers. All will be well if career criminals lay down their weapons & abandon their wicked ways; don't count on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

This is intense, but will probably be overlooked in all the tumult. Scientists say they can prove #CoronaVirus was made in a lab. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

If police chokeholds are outlawed, then any cop who uses one anyway would be guilty per se for any harm caused. #OutlawPoliceChokeholds #FloydGarnerLaw — PolitiTweet.org

@GreenhouseLinda writing re @Scotus 5-4 affirming California’s right to limit church attendance works in how “demonstrators were violently cleared” from path of @realDonaldTrump to #StJohnsChurch. Like most NYT articles on incident she omits that church was torched by arsonists. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

This is all attainable right now. Don’t let all this misery, loss, outrage & destruction be for nothing. This is a modest agenda that can be implemented tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Demonstrations vs police brutality and racial injustice are noble & aspirational. They are also unlikely to cause the change they so passionately seek, at least not short term. My proposal is immediate & necessary. Abolish police chokeholds now. Call it the Floyd/Garner rule. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

The program: 1-acknowledge Black men have special challenges dealing with cops 2- #GeorgeFloyd would be alive tonight is he were white 3-police everywhere must abolish choke holds — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

A good job with decent salary & safe working conditions, reasonable benefits & fair chance for advancement: that is civil rights. Now watch @realDonaldTrump pull us out of this disease-induced slump and deliver. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

There’s a sweet spot between strength and compassion. @realDonaldTrump we're counting on you to find it. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Bravo @realDonaldTrump Critics have excoriated him construing everything he's done or said during these tough times in the most evil way possible-denigrating his efforts to combat anarchy-suppressing news the #RussiaHoax is unraveling & exacerbating unrest-Now eat crow-He's back — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Whether you own stocks cheer on market because when companies are fully funded then jobs get created & short-term no civil right is as potent as a well-paying job. PS this plan by progressives to #DefundThePolice=a sick threat by effete punks that threatens vulnerable communities — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Today hopefully ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ will pivot toward criminal justice reform. Acknowledge that black men face special challenges dealing with cops, and that #GeorgeFloyd would be alive today if he were a white guy. No chokeholds.

Suggested agenda for @realDonaldTrump 1-acknowledge Black men face special challenges dealing with cops (white or black). 2- #GeorgeFloyd would be alive tonight if he were a white guy 3-abolish chokeholds in policing. 4-continue Opportunity Zones & Criminal Justice reform — PolitiTweet.org
