Republican 'law and order' appeal prompts U.S. #IAmASuburbanMom backlash

(Reuters) - When a senior Republican state lawmaker demanded that Minnesota's Democratic governor apologize to "moms out in the suburbs scared to death" about protests over racism and police brutality, Jamie Becker-Finn responded on Twitter with the "#IAmASuburbanMom" hashtag.

"I don't need an apology," Becker-Finn, a Democratic member of the state House of Representatives and a mother from the Minneapolis suburb of Roseville, wrote in response to Minnesota Senate Republican leader Paul Gazelka's comment last Friday.

"I need the GOP Senate to be more than just sad and sorry that George Floyd was killed by police," Becker-Finn added, using shorthand for the Republican Party.

Tens of thousands of people have since taken to Twitter with the hashtag, saying they are suburban women standing with protesters over the death of Floyd, a black man, after a white police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes in Minneapolis last month.

2. It Is Not 1968 Anymore, Sir

It is not even 1994, not any more.

'Law and Order!' just does not cut it nowadays. People counting on it are battleship admirals in a carrier war.

5. Suburban moms at ready!

The next time they come for a Trayvon, they will have to come through us. Our eyes are WIDE OPEN and we can sniff out inappropriate behavior. We have our phones-not to call the police but to record what is going on. We are ready to step up in a big way.

6. This is Awesome! KR!

7. Suburban moms are much more likely to lose a child to gun violence

Having all these crackpots with AK-47 is much more likely to lead to another mass shooting.
