Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said Sunday he is directing Virginia State Police to investigate a traffic stop during which two police officers held an Army second lieutenant at gunpoint months ago in the southeast part of the state. Town officials said later that night that one officer was fired. Northam (D) said the incident — in which body-camera footage shows police pepper-spraying, striking and handcuffing Caron Nazario — “is disturbing and angered me.” Nazario, 27, who is Black and Latino, filed a lawsuit this month against Windsor officers Joe Gutierrez and Daniel Crocker that alleges excessive force due to racial profiling. Officer fired amid call from Va. governor for investigation into pepper-spraying of Black Army officer By Rachel Chason www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/northam-nazario-windsor-police/2021/04/11/fb147f88-9b05-11eb-9d05-ae06f4529ece_story.html

Also to piggy back, a 20 year old Black man was shot during a traffic stop in MN yesterday.
Something needs to be done!

We really need to get to a place in this country where white folk are more scared/ upset at the prospect of law-enforcement shooting Black individuals than they are of the potential aftermath. If *you're more upset at the protesting and rioting than the events which precipitated it, then *you're a big part of the problem. (*General you)
I don't think I can deal with people today.

I didn't see the news about the shooting here until this morning when I woke up.
For an FYI for those aren't from here, Brooklyn Center is a suburb directly bordering Minneapolis and is heavily populated with POC.
I really should not be in disbelief that officers are using lethal force at this point. But wow. The timing during the trial, you'd think cops would be a little more careful right now but I guess not.

This feels so applicable in so many ways - in their words and how they act upon them.

I’m all for recycling and reusing, but sometimes you have to just scrap everything and start fresh. History proves that self accountability doesn’t exist.

The WH released fact sheets for each state as well as PR and DC outlining the tangible benefits to each in the American Jobs Plan.

Asking about the attack on a nuclear facility in Iran (they blame The Mossad) and whether there's concern that could detail talks to denuclearize Iran

Re: the chip shortage, what is the administration doing to fix it? Rolling back regulations, asking manufacturers to prioritize certain industries, etc?
Jen: well That's why we're having the summit today and why POTUS will attend

I'm so sick to my stomach about Daunte Wright and his being left on the goddamn street, dead, for hours. Where is the HUMANITY in this country? I weep for his mother who wanted her baby picked up off the ground. This has got. to. stop.

Kelly O'donnell asks about policing reform
Jen expresses sadness over the loss of Daunte Wright; the president will make remarks before attending the semiconductor summit. They're meeting with civil rights groups to chart the best path forward and urge passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

Politico again trying to make something sound nefarious that actually isn't.
Ambassador Roberts always said she would come on board for the first 100 days before retiring. That's what she did. She's retiring at the end of the month will be just about 100 days. Meanwhile they've named a special envoy to the border.
