And now the official White House account is tweeting the one they blocked from Trump.

Legitimate scary happenings. They arrested a CNN reporter live on air this morning too, just the on-air guy after he identified himself and said they'd go to wherever the officers told them to.
The militarization of the police force is terrifying.

So Twitter actually (momentarily) hit his Tweet behind a banner? Holy #### they should just go all out and ban him already.
He can takeover the WH account fully then.

His tweet is still hidden on both accounts. It's great.

Friday is going to be a long night in America. I could not sleep much last night - so much trouble in the world.

If you really want to read up on this, the truth and reconciliation report is a place to start. Had 90 or so calls to action of ways to improve the issue. It's some a few years old now, but I'm sure a lot of it still applies.

Notice how every single tweet from that official WH account this morning is Trump and his minions pissing and moaning about being censored by Twitter. Meanwhile, Minneapolis is burning and over 100,000 people have died from COVID-19. Good to know that the U.S. government has their priorities straight.

Let's not forget record unemployment.
Honestly, it's embarassing and sad what is happening down there because it all impacts us in Canada in eventually.

If you take first aid training they tell you this so you don’t take drastic measures but you don’t let the person suffer for nine minutes. He definitely had difficulty breathing and I don’t see any reason why the cop had to have his knee on Floyd’s neck for that long.

Even if he was getting oxygen to his lungs, if you put that much pressure on someones neck you begin to restrict the carotid artery, which starves the brain of oxygenated blood.

The defending of the police is insane.
What are the county prosecutor and AG talking about? And then arresting Omar Jimenez? That's not some local news reporter. That's CNN!

A CNN crew was arrested while giving a live television report Friday morning in Minneapolis -- and then released about an hour later -- as the crew covered ongoing protests over the death in police custody of George Floyd.
Jimenez could be seen holding his CNN badge while reporting, identifying himself as a reporter, and telling the officers the crew would move wherever officers needed them to. An officer gripped his arm as Jimenez talked, then put him in handcuffs.
"We can move back to where you like. We are live on the air here. ... Put us back where you want us. We are getting out of your way -- wherever you want us (we'll) get out of your way," Jimenez said to police before he was led away.
The Minneapolis State Patrol said this about the incident:
"In the course of clearing the streets and restoring order at Lake Street and Snelling Avenue, four people were arrested by State Patrol troopers, including three members of a CNN crew. The three were released once they were confirmed to be members of the media."
CNN disputed the state police characterization in a statement on Twitter.
"This is not accurate - our CNN crew identified themselves, on live television, immediately as journalists.
ANOTHER CNN REPORTER TREATED 'MUCH DIFFERENTLY'
CNN's Josh Campell, who also was in the area but not standing with the on-air crew, said he, too, was approached by police, but was allowed to remain.
"I identified myself ... they said, 'OK, you're permitted to be in the area,'" recounted Campbell, who is white. "I was treated much differently than (Jimenez) was."
Jimenez is black and Latino.
