You don't have to be racist to participate in systemic racism.

@inthehands While serving as a firefighter/EMT, I was twice stopped from rendering aid to a shooting victim because it would “contaminate “ the crime scene. @mathaetaes @homelessjun @MisuseCase @mekkaokereke @Itchy

@inthehands @RamenCatholic @mathaetaes @homelessjun @MisuseCase @mekkaokereke Of course #Trump is claiming that #Minneapolis was completely burned down and they never built it back. Of course he says the same thing about #Portland as well. So far as I know both cities are still alive and kicking.

@Thumper1964 @inthehands @RamenCatholic @mathaetaes @homelessjun @MisuseCase @mekkaokereke A group of MNGOP and allied media outlets have lately been pretending that the Twin Cities burned to the ground 4 years ago - while standing in a crowd of 100,000 people on the fair grounds between St. Paul and Minneapolis.
No lie too outrageous for the bigots.
But the DFL has also not acted to stop offenses by police (instead, the mayor of Minneapolis wants to give MPD more money for no good reason).

People get themselves into ridiculous knots thinking that the DFL / Democratic Party is just one giant person with giant brain; it ain’t:

Hey that's when I checked out of local politics once and for all
@homelessjun @MisuseCase @mekkaokereke -
@inthehands @mathaetaes @homelessjun @MisuseCase @mekkaokereke hey, remember all the random gunshots in Minneapolis for about 6-9 months after the George Floyd riots?
I remember seeing multiple videos on Twitter of big SUVs with blacked out plates, rolling up in a neighborhood. Big jacked white dude wearing a mask gets out, fires a weapon a few times, and drives off.
So weird!

Just can’t imagine why the police didn’t investigate thatReal mystery
-
@inthehands @mathaetaes @homelessjun @MisuseCase @mekkaokereke Similar stuff happened in Seattle around that time. Capitol Hill residents and business owners reported that police just stopped responding to calls, even blocks away from the protests, saying it was “too dangerous”. Firefighters still went in as long as firearms weren’t involved, partially because the Fire Chief in that area clearly didn’t agree with the police.

I believe cops sat on their hands nationally, being butthurt snowflakes drinking their own koolade who could not comprehend why people didn’t like them.

I was under the impression that it was illegal to work a side gig as a sworn officer while using city gear and equipment (uniform/patrol car/etc.) -

And there is of course always the question of what is legal in theory vs. what is legal in practice — especially when the law applies to the people who are supposed to be enforcing the law.
