OMG… Edwards is ignorant as hell! He had the gall to ask Caroline Mejia if she had any ‘examples of racism’ to share? The guy took it upon himself to illegally get her personal information to see whether she was actually a citizen. I would also categorize his refusal to participate in the ‘Use of Force Survey’ as having a racist tinge — since the reason such legislation exists is because of the many examples of excessive use of force against Black and Colored people. I could also make a case that his refusal to enforce mask-wearing could be viewed with a racist lens because Black and Hispanic people are at much greater risk of dying from Covid. And we just re-elected this guy.
Exactly. And has he visited the lock-up at Thurston County Jail, sat through an entire court case, been on a jury where a Black man is a defendant, observed Prosecutors? I have and is all there for those that have the eyes to see.
