Matt Gaetz Chronicles: Antifa Hunted Down Like Terrorists

Twitter on Monday added a warning label to a tweet by Rep. Matt Gaetz that called for members of the radical activist group antifa to be hunted down like terrorists.

The Florida Republican, one of President Donald Trump’s fiercest allies on Capitol Hill, ratcheted up his rhetoric against the left-wing group in a missive earlier Monday, writing, “Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the
 Middle East?” HERE

Tampa Getting Loud Works

"Speak up and engage your city council. Shout to all the city council members who reached out this weekend and pressed the Mayor to figure out how we get body cameras now."

Tampa leaders vote down police body camera deal HERE
---So, we have a militarized police department, enabled by a Mayor that turned a blind eye to police corruption under her tenure as Chief, that is now issuing ultimatums to halt protests and you all didn’t think it wise to spend money on the very camera systems that hold these corrupt killers with badges accountable?
Please explain...and if you choose to not answer or untag yourself, we are all watching.

Update: 
Appreciate all the members of the city council today who have reached out since posting this story, bill carlson, guido maniscalco, orlando gudes, luis viera. glad this vote is to be revisited. body cameras are a good first step...yet the citizenry needs real power to hold accountable its police when the justice system fails to deliver. citizen’s review boards with subpoenas and punitive power are 
the logical next step.
