NYPD is guarding the son's room and refusing to let his father visit him as he lays there dying, all because the NYPD doesn't want their victim making legally admissible statements about how quickly these officers shot him four times.

"I didn’t go asking for help just for him to get killed.” Santo de la Cruz called 311 to get his son mental health treatment in a hospital. But — in a scene that lasted just 28 seconds — NYPD shot Raul, who now has a 10% chance of survival gothamist.com/news/nypd-offi

It’s actually worse than $40mil. There was the initial bribe to unfreeze the accounts of $40mil, and then an additional thank you transfer of “tens of millions” when the accounts were unfozen.

You ever think about how the US has more guns than people, 3% of the population owns 50% of the guns, and how guns are expensive, but median household US income is $67k, and the media still codes guns as a working class issue? Lots of dots to connect there!

Flipped on The Bachelor just in time to see the most graceful response to losing the final I’ve ever seen. Good for Gabi.

People like Vance used to blame school shootings on bullying and mental health to avoid talking about guns but this really puts them into a corner where the source of the mental health issues and bullying is the school, and that’s probably worth talking about!

I’m doubtful the reports are accurate, but if they are, there will be absolutely no soul searching from people like this about how an environment that teaches someone that who they are is an abomination not fit for society would drive them to do something wildly antisocial

We're still learning about the horrific shooting in Nashville. But if early reports are accurate that a trans shooter targeted a Christian school, there needs to be a lot of soul searching on the extreme left. Giving in to these ideas isn't compassion, it's dangerous.

If nobody cool pays for the blue check then the For You section will just be full of bozos like Cat Turd, they become the face of the site, shareholders and potential buyers/ad salesmen looking at guys like Cat Turd. Seems bad for business but I dunno, not a businessman

Infuriating. Raul de la Cruz' dad called 311 (not 911) to get medical help for his son. Cops (not health workers) came, escalated & shot Raul within 22 SECONDS - shouting in English. Raul's in critical condition & NYPD won't let his dad see him in the hospital.
Quote Tweet
UPDATE: Santo said officers yelled orders at his son in English. But Raul doesn't understand English gothamist.com/news/nypd-offi

oh lol none of the "in reply to @" tags are loading on web so replies just look like standalone tweets. Really makes the timeline look disjointed.

It honestly breaks my heart that he puts on this show as this sparkly prince-y person but as soon as he is in private he is free to dress in what makes him comfortable and most like himself

"A bunch of hungover people on a Saturday didn't zoom in on the Pope's hands in the cool jacket, this says something about where society is going" No it doesn't, this also could have just been done in Photoshop in like twenty minutes

Yeah whatever, people weren't critical of an image with absolutely no effect on anything beyond "Hey, look at this cool jacket". I don't think we all need to get bees in our bonnets about it.
