What we’re seeing, here as in the killing of Reinoehl in Portland, is police taking things into their hands and flagrantly overriding the law in favor of their white supremacist buddies. Whoah. This has to stop. #PleaseVote

Today, armed activists led by "Boogaloo Boy" Mike Dunn marched to the Newport News, VA Police Station to defy a local law banning open carry on gov't property (for which Dunn was arrested last week). The police chief offered chocolate milk and a sound system as a peace offering.

Is there a difference between the "Brown Shirts" and these Boogaloo Boys?

If the Police aren't in bed with these guys ... then they are afraid of them ... Imagine this happening with protesters from the Black Lives Matter movement ... I don't think so!

@carterforva this is a despicable show of hubris in light of the mass shooting in the VA Beach area of civil servants that is still fresh in the minds of horrified Virginians.

Not safe for the public, not safe for the police, not safe for anybody. Why doesn't some professionals sit down with this man and have a talk on what causes his behavior. Apparently something concerns him. Counselors should ask him what's going on. After a week he went back?

pardon my ignorance but how will voting break the association of law enforcement and white supremacy? it’ll just go back to the shadows but they’ll both continue to exist and share the same values no matter who’s in charge.

I haven’t seen or read enough of the background to know what’s right or wrong other than it is very illegal to “open carry” in the state of Virginia. And this guy is carrying a very large weapon and very chummy with the police. What’s up with that?

Two opposing sides showing respect and giving each other a chance to practice their freedom of speech. THIS respectful civility is what we need MORE of, NOT hate and disinfo.
