On April 16, 2021, Harsono joined about 1k people demonstrating over #GeorgeFloyd’s murder by Minneapolis #police & the recent death of #DaunteWright by police in Brooklyn Center.
He was arrested for unlawful #assembly after the #protest, though the charge was dismissed. His wife & attorney said agents & lawyers cited Harsono’s protest history during detention proceedings.

Federal officials planned to “immediately pursue removal” for Harsono, & the #State Dept agreed not to tell him about his #visa revocation, the memo read.
“Due to ongoing #ICE operational security, this revocation will therefore be silent,” the memo read. [ridiculous]
Harsono said he believes his past participation in #SocialJustice #protests after #GeorgeFloyd’s murder in 2020 may also have been a factor.

In 2021 Patterson bragged about beating someone so hard he broke his nightstick. In 2020 he was seen punching a George Floyd protester who was already on the ground for no reason.
Silver lining among Trump's atrocities: State crimes cannot be pardoned.
Via Kyle Griffin:
#Trump supporters, led by Ben Shapiro, are pushing to pardon Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of killing #GeorgeFloyd.
Big flag: Chauvin cannot be pardoned for state crimes. Chauvin will still be in prison if Trump acts. And the 22.5-year state conviction is a longer sentence than the federal case.

"#DC #mayor to remove Black Lives Matter Plaza amid pressure from #WhiteHouse
The two-block stretch of 16th Street NW, north of the White House, was designated as Black Lives Matter Plaza after #GeorgeFloyd was murdered in Minneapolis in 2020"
A spokesperson for D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser confirmed…
NBC NewsFor 4½ mins, Gen #CQBrown spoke, in stark terms, about his life as an African American fighter pilot.
“I’m thinking about how full I am with, with emotion, not just for #GeorgeFloyd, but the many African Americans that suffered the same fate as George Floyd,” he said, a…tremor his voice. “I’m thinking about protests in my country ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, the equality expressed in our declaration of independence, in the Constitution, that I’ve sworn my adult life to support & defend.”
Against a dark background, a solemn Gen #CQBrown, clad in fatigues, stared into the camera, & said this: “As the commander of Pacific Air Forces, & a senior leader in our #AirForce, & an African American, many of you may be wondering what I’m thinking about the current events surrounding the tragic death of #GeorgeFloyd,” Gen Brown began. “Here’s what I’m thinking about.”

Gen #CQBrown electrified the #military rank & file on June 4, 2020, when as Pacific Air Forces commander, he released his 4-min video, which he called, simply, “What I’m thinking about.”
On the streets of some cities, #BlackLivesMatter protests were raging over the killing of #GeorgeFloyd by Derek Chauvin, a white police officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck while Floyd was handcuffed & lay dying facedown.

Days after #GeorgeFloyd’s murder, Gen. #Milley, wearing his Army fatigues, accompanied #Trump in a walk across Lafayette Square near the White House for a photo op after an *aggressive* [brutal] clearing of a peaceful #demonstration. Milley was widely criticized for allowing Trump to drag him into #politics.
Milley publicly apologized, saying, “I should not have been there.”
Trump was furious. “Why’d you do that?” he asked Milley, per Trump ofcls at the time.
In the 4-min video, Gen #CQBrown reflected on his experiences as an African American pilot in the Air Force.
The killing of #GeorgeFloyd also blew up the relationship between #Trump & General Brown’s predecessor, Gen. Mark A. #Milley.
In firing Gen #CQBrown, the chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff in the Fri night purge at the #Pentagon, #Trump did not publicly give a reason. In fact, the 4-star fighter pilot w/40yrs of service was at the #border tending to one of Trump’s priorities…
But, Trump advisers point to a video that Gen Brown recorded in the days after #GeorgeFloyd was killed by a police officer in May 2020, an act that sparked a #SocialJustice movement.

Sad it's more true than just a joke... The rich gets way with everything while other are killed by the American cops for minor traffic violations like George Floyd 'I can't breathe'

In a campaign season in which the subject of #PoliceViolence against #Black men—& the protests that followed the murder of #GeorgeFloyd in 2020—has rarely been mentioned, #MichelleObama dared to address it: “If you are a mother who has lost sleep worrying if your son could be the victim of a nightmare traffic stop going bad, if you’ve ever been out there marching & weeping for #justice, who do you think is going to have your back?” she asked.
And prosecutors won federal #criminal convictions against the 4 #Minneapolis officers involved in #GeorgeFloyd’s death. They are pursuing #CivilRight cases against officers in #Louisville, #Memphis & elsewhere.
#KamalaHarris joined #Biden in championing these actions. In Dec, she hailed the president’s executive order on #PoliceAccountability & renewed calls on #Congress to pass policing #legislation she had co-authored in the #Senate.

Deploying on #US Soil: How #Trump Would Use #Soldiers Against #Protests, #Crime & #Migrants
Trump’s vision of using the #military to enforce *the #law* [his will] domestically would carry profound implications for #CivilLiberties.
During the summer of 2020, Trump raged at his military & #legal advisers, calling them “losers” for objecting to his idea of using federal #troops to suppress outbreaks of violence during the protests over the police murder of #GeorgeFloyd.
The former president’s vision of using the military…
