I was wondering who pressured the officer to resign (donβt believe for a second sheβd do so on her own). Sounds like the mayor is throwing some weight around. This is how people in power can make a difference if they actually want to (glares at do-nothing mayor in my region).

Are POTUS and Big Gretch fighting? Jen: Governor Whitmore has demonstrated tremendous leadership in the face of an obstructionist legislature, a plot to kidnap and assassinate her, loss of loved ones from the pandemic and a dam break. We have nothing but respect for her. But the doctors told us not to send her more vaccines. I would like to hear more about this because doctors on Twitter are yelling about needing to send more vaccines to Michigan and I don't know what to think.

That photo of the little girl and the mom is just... without words. It makes me realize I'm glad there are no photos of me from my late H's funeral. That photo is going to gut her for years.

The mayor has asked jurisdiction to be moved under the Washington County AG instead of Hennepin County Do you mean County Attorney? We don't have AGs per county they are just state. PDQ I know the Washington County Attorney personally and he's a pitbull in the courtroom. He's successfully prosecuted a few high profile cases for other counties in the state when they need to be moved.

He kept going back and forth. Washington County is taking over but the AG should prosecute? He seemed to be using the two interchangeably.
He was trying to speak over several people so I could be very confused.

My understanding is that it's now standard procedure in the metro area for a different county's attorney to take over the charging of these cases. So it automatically went to Washington County. But the mayor would like the AG's office (Keith Ellison) to take over. My guess is there is more community trust in Ellison's office than a different county's office. Especially one that is probably perceived to be more white/conservative/suburban.

So we can give enough money and training to cops to know how to operate a robotic dog but we canβt train them enough to not shoot POC? And how many of them drive while messing around on a laptop at the same time? But are too βstressed and confused in the momentβ to recognize the substantial difference between a taser and a gun. I imagine they cross draw for their tasers. So either it was intentional or she was so nervous/panicked she drew the wrong weapon out of instinct. You fall to the level of your training when under stress. So in (good) firearms training, they focus on making gross motor movements as fast and smooth and instinctive as possible so you donβt have waste time processing your movements to draw. And obviously a police officer should have the right to defend themselves when faced with deadly force. But again, that speaks to the problem of of focusing training via a warrior mentality outside a war zone-type environment underlined by precedents built on racism and classism. Everything and everyone is a potentially deadly threat, so theyβre living in the red/black while on duty.

CDC and NIAID are saying the only thing that will slow things down in MI is restrictions. Surging vaccines there will help in 6 weeks but risks leaving the next surge state low on doses. They're basically saying they can't play surge whackamole and people need to quit having parties.

Zients is emphasizing that J&J accounts for less than 5% of our doses so the pause isn't hugely catastrophic My appointment was cancelled today at the last minute. 6 cases out of almost 7 MILLION doses. I have private fucking thoughts. I'm sorry. Did they help you reschedule?

Love going for my regular walk and having to walk past National Guard standing around on street corners with weapons out.

No. I found another appointment for later today and it was also canceled. I went to the mobile Vax site next to dds tkd class and a very nice man showed me how I could make an appointment there. My appointment is next Tuesday. I may have a breakdown if that one is also canceled.

I have no words, and the ones I do are white woman hand wringing. We need to do more. This continues to be unconscionable.

News Alert: Matt Gaetz associate has been cooperating with Justice Department since last year, New York Times reports Joel Greenberg, a central figure in the ongoing investigation into Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, has been providing information to investigators since last year about Gaetz's activities, among other topics, two people briefed on the matter told The New York Times.
Greenberg started speaking with investigators when he realized it was his only path to leniency in the face of considerable evidence against him, the people told the Times.
His cooperation with the Justice Department -- which includes several meetings with investigators, the newspaper reported -- could put additional legal pressure on Gaetz as investigators work to determine whether he broke sex-trafficking or prostitution laws himself.
