     On the second day of protests; police escalated from rubber bullets to concussion grenades to TEAR GAS.

     And Walz did his best to make protestors fighting police brutality look like "white supremacists from another state" to crank up renegade policing efforts.

     The four year anniversary of his death was weeks ago. I know we don't got memory THAT short. If this celebration is because of individualistic joy, let's be candid. This is where my nervousness comes in; we're not asking for change if we do not concretely have a plan of accountability (and writing letters don't count, not in metropolitan governances)

     Edit: smh, it felt longer ago

     Same person who was in charge when George Floyd was murdered. Do you remember the city's response? The state's?

     And we just came out of a wave of student protests?

     Again, I plead for a legitimate answer: how do you hold someone accountable who doesn't answer to you?

     Can we get the stance of these candidates on protecting the right of protestors? Because those aren't stopping and neither party seems to be terribly concerned about (pulls list of the 45+ concurrent issues caused by 80% of their corporate donor base)?

     No, that's not part of policies? It's only about identity brandishing? Damn. Welp
