Rest in power, Amir. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

It feels perverse to offer my prayers to Amir’s family. How many times have the families and friends of people murdered by the MPD had to sit as our city’s leaders offer them their thoughts? How many more times will they have to before we finally repair this broken system? — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

There is justifiably no public trust in the MPD, and I am calling on the DOJ to do everything in their power to expedite this investigation and take action to reform the department if the Mayor is unwilling or unable to. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

We are also more than a year into a Department of Justice investigation into the patterns and practices of the MPD after the murder of George Floyd. It’s tragic that before that investigation is complete, we are facing another murder that would warrant its own. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

It is shameful that we have to rely on him, once again, to investigate this crime due to a complete lack of trust in local officials and institutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

We are fortunate to have Attorney General Keith Ellison in office to investigate this injustice. Attorney General Ellison is one of the few voices this city can trust in the wake of this kind of violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Amir was a guest in the apartment. He was not a suspect. When asked, the Mayor couldn’t explain this. Chief Huffman’s explanation was they didn’t have as much information as they do now. https://t.co/5XzR7uFUao — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Once again the Minneapolis Police Department has proactively smeared the person they murdered. The MPD referred to Amir as a “suspect” four times in their initial press release about the killing. https://t.co/CGM9pEL8qv — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Conveniently, the group that poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into reelecting the Mayor and defeating the public safety charter amendment has scrubbed all mention of this lie from their webpage. https://t.co/BMevvpCopm — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

The Mayor ran for reelection on having ended no-knock warrants. Amir was killed in a no-knock raid. https://t.co/GeibWJw9yu — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Once again we’re left only with the empty words of police and the Mayor. Words that, at best, are meant to mislead the people of Minneapolis, and at worst are quite simply lies aimed at portraying Amir as a criminal. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Amir Locke had barely opened his eyes when he was executed by a Minneapolis Police officer. He was 22 years old. And now, because of the violent, unchecked, and unreformed behavior of our city’s police, his life has been taken. — PolitiTweet.org

@sennoma It’s ok, most people don’t read anything on Twitter before commenting and there is plenty of evidence on this thread 😊 — PolitiTweet.org

@sennoma In the article it says $42,610 is living wage in DC for a single person without children and our office pays more than that for DC staff. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Every single staff I have in D.C. and Minnesota, including those on the campaign, makes above a living wage. I believe we have to live our values through our actions. I hope every Member of Congress does the same because none of us can do our jobs without our staff. — PolitiTweet.org

As a former union member myself, consider me on board. I believe we can make Capitol Hill union strong 💪🏽 and give our staff the protection and support that unions offer. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

All due respect, but this headline is from 4 months ago and came after weeks of the Pentagon accusing reporters who asked for evidence or provided follow up questions of doing PR for terrorists. It’s good that these questions are being asked and the WH needs to be transparent https://t.co/r9g003eKqR — PolitiTweet.org
