“Law enforcement officers kill about 1,000 people a year across the United States. Since the beginning of 2005, 121 officers have been arrested on charges of murder or manslaughter in on-duty killings, according to data compiled by Philip M. Stinson, a criminal justice professor at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Of the 95 officers whose cases have concluded, 44 were convicted, but often of a lesser charge, he said.”

A wide gulf remains between the public perception of police violence and how it is treated in court.

“Purdue [Pharma] (the Debtor) can negotiate its restructuring in the US Bankruptcy Court, where Judge Robert Drain will preside over a settlement to divide Purdue’s assets among those harmed (the Creditors).

If you believe you’ve been injured by a Purdue opioid (prescribed to you or not) you may file a Proof of Claim and become a Creditor in Purdue’s bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain must understand how many have been harmed by Purdue and the Sacklers' opioid profiteering.

The filing DEADLINE is JULY 30, 2020 at 5:00pm”

File a claim in Purdue's bankruptcy before the June 30th deadline!!!

“[Can] tear gas cause a miscarriage? There is evidence that tear gas may have an impact on the reproductive system, from menstruation to breastfeeding—this is what we know so far.”

The question of whether to show up to protests because of the potential risk is not a consideration that anyone should have to make—there is no reason that peaceful protesters should ever be attacked with chemicals.

🧐 Let us be clear:

As we stated before, when systems are set up that still allow for police to decide what they perceive as peaceful, we will always be brutalized. Our very skin is a threat. Our message is a threat. Resign Mayor Andrew J. Ginther you continue to fail us with your broken promises. Fire Chief Quinlan for the ongoing brutality protestors faced this past month as recent as now and the lives you’ve taken from Black families.
