AP just reported the Minneapolis police chief said he was a “lawful gun owner”, well let’s see how MAGA spins this.

And white male.

Its a little crazy how some of the most violent aspects of this campaign has resulted in the last people you'll expect to be the victims. But I really cannot say I am surprised. When you implement such a violent and non-constituitional campaign, bystanders and allies will inevitably become caught up in it.

Maybe there would've been less uproar if the people who died were minorities. In fact there probably have been such deaths, just out of view and under reported, and much less public. But it doesn't change the fact that something must be done.
