Tampa’s Castor: A Distrusted, Unrepentant Racist
"Racial profiling, violation of civil rights, and direct violence are all behaviors and policies that Jane Castor failed to address as Chief of Police. Utilizing tear gas and pepper spray against demonstrators, arresting journalists, and condoning police corruption are all crimes that in any other place would be considered war crimes and crimes against humanity. The recent calls for Chief Dugan to resign were met by the Mayor with a clear statement
of solidarity.” Chris Cano
The Restorative Justice Coalition is demanding that Castor answer for the 2014 death of Arthur Green Jr., a 63-year-old black elder who had a diabetic emergency. Tampa Police Department responded by placing him in a similar position as George Floyd, which led
to his death.

Florida Dems Beware
Trump is scheming to retain power in the event of an electoral loss in November, according to a former Senator from Colorado.
---
Trump will attempt to retain power through voter suppression. The Senator alleges there is a strategy to suppress voter turnout by purging voters - especially inner-city voters - from registration rolls and to suppress mail-in voting. He also believes physical polling locations will be limited, especially in urban areas, in an effort to create long lines on Election Day and discourage voting. HERE
