I actually cannot believe this. Even in 2016.
I imagine the Cleveland Police union president's thinking had to be something like, "Why does Piers Morgan get all the attention?"
I've been getting "trending" alerts all over the country due to my Cleveland police union tweet, incl. Cleveland:https://twitter.com/trendscleveland/status/724748460407267328 …
Seattle, Chicago, Austin, San Francisco ... it's remarkable how quickly this traveled all over.
If you doubt there is a ~powerful~ voice that has arisen out of #BlackLivesMatter
, you only need to see moments like that.
Only one other tweet of mine that I can recall taking off like this, and it was Beyoncé's "Formation" BLM moment:https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/696079693074849795 …
So, yeah, as a journalist ~constantly~ on Twitter, that really stands out to me.
Those are the only tweets I can recall since marriage decision day to have had such reverb. And that was a day that was ~my expertise~.
@chrisgeidner NO THEY DIDN'T
@joshs OH. THEY DID.
@chrisgeidner "Even if they are playing with toy guns" is the part that finally did me in.
@alyssaharad @chrisgeidner Can either of you two tell which is the toy?pic.twitter.com/Rwn9Y5qwSy
@TheJerkMarvin @alyssaharad @chrisgeidner from 10 feet away you wouldn't be able to tell. I had the pic in front of me and it was hard.
@MaryBro77801894 @alyssaharad @chrisgeidner It's not easy at all.
@chrisgeidner cannot compute
.@chrisgeidner - People expecting more from that character about #TamirRice really have not been paying attention to the DOJ consent decree.
@DanteB4u @chrisgeidner and Steve loomis in particular has proven himself to be vile trash.
@chrisgeidner @orangeseahorse soo disrespectful Had that kid been white #Cops wld hv embraced the family & charged he cop
@chrisgeidner and by the way, 6 million reward for not supervising their kid and letting them point fake guns that look real at ppl
@chrisgeidner Use the money to teach other kids who get shitty parenting NOT to brandish guns- fake or real at anyone.
