Members of the “Squad” are ramping up calls for dismantling the police following the shooting death of a 20-year-old black man at the hands of a white officer in Minnesota — saying it amounts to “government-funded murder.”
In tweets Monday, Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) reacted to the killing Sunday of Daunte Wright of Brooklyn Center, Minn.
“It wasn’t an accident. Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist. Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence,” Tlaib wrote in a tweet.
“I am done with those who condone government-funded murder. No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can’t be reformed,” she continued, reiterating her position that the police, as currently trained, cannot protect their communities and must be defunded and replaced. --->READ MORE HERE
Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib demanded anarchy Monday with the abolition of police and incarceration.
“Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist,” Tlaib wrote after a weekend police shooting in Minnesota that left a black man dead. “No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can’t be reformed.”
