35. This is an emergency

and they are doing nothing to show leadership.

A dead woman was called a fucking bitch after she was shot in the face three times by a government employee. They are entering homes without warrants and tasing people.

Police are turning their backs on people begging for help.

Instead of striking while the iron is hot, our leaders again are pouring cold water on our outrage.

Jeffries and Schumer will not step aside but they need to stand back and let the rank file dems take their place on the talk shows.
