I just witnessed a murder.

Jacob Frey: “my own shortcomings and I know there needs to be a deep-seated structural approach in terms of how the department operates. The systemically racist system needs to be revamped”
Protesters: “we know”
Jacob Frey: “the police union needs to be put in its place”
Protesters: “we know”
Jacob Frey: “we need to make sure that everything from the union contract to the way the arbitration functions…”
Protesters: *muffled disagreement* then start chanting “yes or no”
Organizer: “Jacob Frey we have a yes or no question for you, yes or no do you commit to defunding the Minneapolis police department” 
Jacob Frey: *inaudible*

Protesters: *erupt in a chant* “GO HOME JACOB GO HOME. GO HOME JACOB GO HOME”
Protesters: “SHAME SHAME SHAME”

Minneapolis leaders just voted, with a veto-proof majority, to disband their police department!

An excerpt from the ^ above article that you shouldn’t miss:

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said last night that he opposed disbanding the police department at a protest organized and led by Black Visions Collective against police violence in the city. That answer earned him a thundering chorus of boos and chants of “Shame!” and “Go home, Jacob, go home!” The New York Times called the scene a “humiliation on a scale almost unimaginable outside of cinema or nightmare.”

Notice how they’re also saying that we’re children despite also using Adults.

They could totally have dropped children from that headline
