Last night, my son was shot in the eye with a rubber bullet while peacefully protesting for justice for George Floyd. His story is not unique. Countless others have also experienced this use of excessive police force while trying to have their voices heard.
— Dale Murphy (@DaleMurphy3) June 1, 2020
Luckily, his eye was saved due to a kind stranger that was handing out goggles to protestors shortly before the shooting and another kind stranger that drove him to the ER. Others were not so lucky and will be permanently disabled due to excessive police force
— Dale Murphy (@DaleMurphy3) June 1, 2020
If you're a beneficiary of systemic racism, then you will not be able to dismantle it at no cost to yourself. You will have to put yourself at risk. It might not always result in being physically attacked, but it will require you to make yourself vulnerable.
— Dale Murphy (@DaleMurphy3) June 1, 2020
Please consider taking action for a more just world. You can protest peacefully. You can donate to your local @Blklivesmatter chapter, the @NAACP_LDF or read this guide for other ways to help protestors. https://t.co/tdA8npGEym

One of the protesters who stopped the looting says the looted threatened to pull a gun on him. He told the looter he was conceal carrying and the guy left.

Black Protestor caught 2 White Protestors tagging Starbucks. pic.twitter.com/06LuT4ryb8

Not just tagging Starbucks – the white people were tagging it with a BLM tag knowing it would get blamed on black people. The Los Angeles BLM protest that started at Pn Pacific park and moved past The Grove was peaceful until cops and white ppl agitated it.

VP Joe Biden is at this moment walking the streets of Wilmington, Delaware without a press crew. He wants to see, hear & speak with the people to learn what is really happening there. He spent the morning speaking with several mayors looking for solutions. Hes working 4 us now!

Love when Anna who barely hires black women or women of color starts talking about this stuff
Anna was editor-in-chief of Vogue for 29 years before a black photographer was given the assignment to photograph the cover of Vogue…and that was only because Beyoncé made it happen https://t.co/AJHd6UFqOZ

Here’s what happened in Santa Monica. I was at a very peaceful protest/march down Montana just 20 minutes ago that had zero issues. At some point, a separate crowd of scumbags formed and have decided to go hit the Promenade area and loot it. @FOXLA
