Can't believe that no other city in all of the great USA has this as a law.. "...become the first city in the country to make discrimination based on homelessness status illegal." crazy!

A friend of mines kid called him everyday from juvy. It was $5/minute, he was in CA my friend in FL, and you don't know price until you get the bill. His bill was $500 that month!!!

🙌 the real independence day!! 👊🏽 🇺🇸

This drives me crazy prisoners that are all ready in F’ed up situation are paying like $14 a minute for a call?!! What the hell is that about?

Damn right they should move the PGA to another city, and while your at it stop drinking coke.

No one is safe, and he continues to talk down to her after the car is flipped, blaming her, unreal.

Well deserved, without this video this would have been another ignored death of a black man at the hands of police.

#shewas16 , this is insane! She’s a victim and survivor. Instead of help, she’s being victimized on a whole other level!! #freezephi

@Ibrahem Alhaidari because the officers wanted trouble and they found it by harassing an innocent black man in the military. I hope these officers get the punishment they deserve.

But how can it require a state law to make clear that it is not acceptable to pepper-spray children? Even after the event, a police union official was trying to justify the officers’ actions.... let that sink in.

I’m really torn on this one. My dad was in prison for 10 years, so I know first hand what it’s like to have that limited contact and how hard it is to maintain a relationship with a loved one. But I also know that so many other crimes are planned using cell phones in there. There has to be a better way though. One that gives the inmates that connection to their loved ones while also trying to stop further crimes/hits/blackmail from happening. So many prisoners want to be better, but there are others who will never move away from a life of crime

That’s disappointing, let’s hope it’s the first step to broader reforms.

I recently started learning about my rights and the law. It’s good to have that knowledge.

I think everyone agrees what happened to Floyd was awful. I don't personally know a lot about his family. From what I've read, they have an active civil suit against the City of Minneapolis so hopefully they get some kind of compensation for this awful thing that's happened. I think most would see Kyrie's act of generosity as a positive. I don't think it takes away the criticisms people have of Kyrie, though. I have to agree with a take Joe Tiddy had on a podcast. To paraphrase, he said that Kyrie wants to be taken seriously, but the problem is he doesn't present himself as a serious person. Part of it is using his massive platform to spread outlandish conspiracy theories (he got the most attention for being a flat earther, but there were others he touched on like the Moon Landing being fake, the Federal Reserve assassinating presidents, the CIA killing Bob Marley, "Stars" not being real etc ) that make it very difficult to take him seriously. The other part of it is that to be a serious person, you should show some form of professionalism. By all accounts, he skipped out on his team without much explanation and then was caught on camera partying after having quit on two previous teams. It's a bad look. It's certainly good for him to use his platform to bring positive into the world, but I don't think that excuses him from an overall lack of maturity and professionalism. Him engaging in social issues is fine, but he's already damaged his reputation and image beyond the point that the general public can put much weight into his voice in this. The truth is, he's already undermined his efforts considerably by presenting himself as a quack.
