White supremacists successfully rewrote history after the Civil War, so much so that today people deny what the slave states had proudly proclaimed back then: it was about slavery. And now this group is rewriting history today. They are lying. They are liars. They are liars.

This is anti-police work. This is insane. Don’t create the risk and then escalate it. Slow down. Think about what is the point of your actions. But then perhaps this is the point. And that point leads us to disaster.

I’ve said for the last 6 years while training new colleagues and have written several times in the Washington Post: if you didn’t have a badge & a gun, how would you handle this 911 call? Whatever you come up with that is legal, ethical, and kind, try that first.

Six years ago I wrote in the Washington Post that police must not hide their face or name. Seems kind of pertinent now, right? Here’s a link to a free version of the piece I wrote. I was angry and sad then. I’m angry and sad now. Courage. Use it. Now. www.heraldnet.com/opinion/comm...

The ability to identify an officer — local or federal — is a requirement for accountability and trust.

I’m not to blame but I am responsible. I wrote this during the protests & riots after the murder of George Floyd. What I knew then is what I know now: that we all matter or none of us do. Please read this. And act accordingly. Courage. Use it. www.sunjournal.com/2020/06/07/i...

I’m a cop. I won’t fight a ‘war’ on crime the way I fought the war on terror.

The failed strategy I participated in for years as a CIA officer is not how to police people I consider my neighbors. It's not how to police at all.

Slow down. Slow down. Slow down. De-escalate like the professionals you keep bragging that you are. But you don’t want to slow down. This is going to get much worse. And our current government not only wants it to get worse, they need it to.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week. Keep calling: (202) 224-3121
