So disappointing.

"The attorney general’s actions on law enforcement issues have frustrated some people who supported his election last year, including civil rights attorney John Burris, who represented Rodney King in his civil rights lawsuit against the Los Angeles Police Department.

“I’m disappointed,” Burris said after Becerra’s announcement in the Stephon Clark case. “I supported him wholeheartedly [during the election]. I think I had higher hopes for him in the beginning.”

Burris said he has asked Becerra in the last few years to look at other police shootings and the attorney general has always sided with the local district attorneys in not pursuing action against officers."

@mekkaokereke boooohooohooo poor little piggies face scrutiny.

Not even consequences but scrutiny. What the fuck.

@mekkaokereke That's disgusting.

My god.

"We're traumatized by all of you noticing we racism-shot someone again."

I don't how a person's mind gets this warped. Racism is a pathology.

@spiegelmama @mekkaokereke methinks the problem is the ridiculously enormous political consulting apparatus that serves democrats. seems like most progressives that get elected try to tack more towards the moderate side of the party once they’ve won election and want to get reelected.

I understand many sell out (Sinema) but I can’t imagine the paydays are quite so lucrative outside of Congress, so why abandon your base that put you there in the first place? Does no one have principles they live by anymore?

I can’t remember the quote, so I’m gonna butcher my paraphrase of it, but, “I’d rather have enemies than none. It means I’ve lived a principled life.”
