Amy Klobuchar represents Minnesota in the U.S. Senate. (As does Tina Smith)
The Minnesotian delegation to the House are mostly Democrats. Two Republicans gained their seats in 2018 and 2019. The other in 2015.

So there's your answer. If you want change, Vote Republican

How do you reconcile this with the Republican president's long and very public opposition to protests against police brutality? Or his love for cop unions?

TopicArrest footage sparks outrage in Midland, Texas

https://marfapublicradio.org/blog/after-initially-refusing-city-of-midland-releases-footage-of-tye-anders-arrest/
Newly-released police footage shows the moments leading to the arrest of Tye Anders, a 21-year-old black man, whose case has sparked criticism of the Midland Police Department.

Bystander video of the May 16 arrest showed officers pointing guns at Anders while he was lying facedown on his grandmothers lawn. In the video, Anders repeatedly shouts, Im scared, and asks officers to put down their weapons.

The footage circulated online last week and spurred concerns over racial bias within the Midland Police Department. The backlash prompted the City of Midland to schedule a town hall on Thursday, May 28 for community discussion.

The city initially refused to release police footage of the incident, but on May 22 it put out nearly two hours of video from officers body and dashboard cameras.

The videos include the period of time just after police say Anders rolled through a stop sign to when Anders is booked at the county jail.

Anders has been charged with a third-degree felony for evading arrest for allegedly continuing to drive after being pursued for failing to fully stop at a stop sign.

Initially, the city refused to release any footage of the arrest, arguing it would do little to calm tensions.

We dont need to prove a point, said Midland Mayor Patrick Payton during a press conference days after the arrest.

However, City Councilmember John Norman, the only person of color on the council, disagreed with the move and pushed for the police footage to be released.

We know that every second of the video will be scrutinized and debated on social media for days, said Norman in a press release. I dont have a problem with that at all. Because at my core, I believe that transparency builds trust.

Before the city released any footage, a three-minute video taken by a relative of Anders was shared online. The footage shows at least five officers, most with their guns drawn and pointed at Anders, who was unarmed, lying on the ground with his hands stretched out.

The citys footage shows an officer, identified in the arrest affidavit as M. Rosero, driving behind Anders, whos in his mothers 2017 silver Dodge Challenger. Shortly after the video begins, the department says Rosero turned on his lights to pull over Anders, who was on his way to his grandmothers home to celebrate his 21st birthday with family.

Law enforcement alleges Anders didnt come to a complete stop at the intersection of Maple Avenue and Butternut Lane, which the department says is why they pulled him over. Officials say the released footage doesnt capture this moment because the video didnt begin recording until after Anders allegedly rolled through the stop sign.

Once Rosero flashed his lights, Anders continued driving for a little over 20 seconds until he arrived at his 90-year-old grandmothers home, according to the department. After Anders parked, officers called for him to get out of his car, but he didnt. About 6 minutes pass, where Anders later explains he was calling different family members.

Soon, more police arrive at least seven can be seen in the videos.

When Anders exits his car, he immediately tosses his phone to the side, raises his hands and asks, Whyd you stop me?

Officers immediately pull their weapons and tell Anders to walk toward them. Instead, he surrenders, lying down on the front lawn.

Anders grandmother walks out of her house and tells officers to leave my child alone.

The standoff between Anders and law enforcement lasts a few minutes before police eventually handcuff him on the lawn. As officers move in, Anders grandmother falls over and a young woman, along with other family members, rush in to help the elderly woman up.

Midland police pinned the young woman to the ground, cuffed her and placed her in a patrol vehicle. She was later released.

After Anders joins the woman in the back of the police car, he tells her, [The officer] had no reason to pull me over, I stopped at every stop sign, too.

In another moment, Anders explains to an officer that he waited and called family members because of past negative interactions with law enforcement. I was scared of em, hes heard saying. Im scared of cops. Ive already been abused and thrown over my car.

Later, Anders asks Officer Rosero why he stopped him.

You ran that stop sign on Maple, said Officer Rosero.

I did not run no stop sign, Anders screams repeatedly.

At this moment, Anders turns toward Rosero, his knees sticking out of the police cruisers backdoor, blocking it from being closed. The department says Anders intentionally places his leg outside the door, which constitutes resisting arrest, according to police.

A female officer, whose uniform identifies her as Sergeant McNulty, then enters the cruiser where Anders is being held. The video shows her jerking Anders by the neck and pulling him toward her so the door can be closed. Then, McNulty pins him to the car seat by placing her hand on his cheek and pushing down.

After reviewing the footage, Midlands District Attorney Laura Nodolf said in a statement that she plans to move forward with the charges filed against Anders.

It's also, um, an interesting point being made by someone who wants us to care about the DSA and like AOC and has told me recently there's a reason to not want Kennedy to beat Markey, etc

"Candidates don't matter" is an overstatement, but in general elections the Democrat is going to be preferable to liberals and those on the left in terms of outcomes to even the most charismatic Republican, which I think is the point he's getting at.

Now primaries offer an interesting view at what this world without parties might look like. Without the party label to differentiate them, I think candidates can more easily make themselves out to be something they are not. An example of this is how moderate Dems might talk about "ensuring everybody has access to affordable Healthcare." To the untrained ear, this can sound like support for universal healthcare, but it almost never is. You often have to do more reading between the lines to know where candidates stand in relation to each other, particularly in lower-level races that receive less coverage and scrutiny.

To the extent that a DSA endorsement or something along those can offer a quick shorthand of letting people know where a candidate stands, this is for the better (and why calls for them to endorse Biden are kinda silly).

Edit: I was definitely shitting on Joe Kennedy
